    HF 20 ton shop press best price in years

    Look at the fine print, if its on sale, you can not use a 20% off coupon then.

    Speaker for cell phone in pole barn.

    I got these at Costco 2 years ago and love them. I bought 2. My only issue is I have not been able to pair them for stereo sound yet. But they are loud. Being waterproof I use them outside as well. https://ecoxgear.com/shop/ecodrift/

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    Well, dont worry about the info, they were sold before I could get there. Logistics sucked since they were both in a block wall room with a 36" wide door as the only way to get them out, plus they were about 18 inches off the floor on concrete platforms. But then $200 for both I sure as heck...

    Craftsman is getting around

    So I was in a local NAPA (actually the largest one in 3 counties) and they are in the middle of redoing the counter sales area. Since all the tools were gone off the wall, I asked the guy if they were getting Craftsman. He said no. He said they were just trying to maximize their front sales...

    Heavy Duty Engine Hoist Build

    I am one for building making your own tools and what not. But in the case of an engine hoist, especially one rated for 1000lbs, you will have more time and money in materials invested even if you went and bought a harbor freight one with a coupon, or as mentioned above, find one for sale on...

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    I have a chance to buy an Atlas Copco GX15 air compressor. I am going to look at it tomorrow. I know they are good aircompressors and I can see it in operation. What should I look for and does anyone know the weight of it? I must disconnect (at a later date) and remove myself with my own...

    Finding Regulator Rebuild kits

    Still would have liked an explanation as to why rather than just not repairable/rebuildable. Sadly to many people have a throw away mentality these days rather than fix it. Including some professionals. I know that cost is a factor and availability of parts, but at least give an explanation...

    Finding Regulator Rebuild kits

    Our local Airgas also does not stock or sell rebuild kits, they send stuff out. I took in an old Harris torch and their guy said not rebuild able, but no explanation as to why. At least I didn't have to pay for that. I am going to take it to Praxair and see what they say. I also have some...

    Amazon Warehouse Deals

    I finally got some of the sticky back sandpaper. Had to laugh a little though because it makes you check a box stating that you are a professional and have read the safety stuff. Missed out on the bamboo marshmellow sticks, would have been good to have. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Had to get this set of impact sockets. First time I have seen a set with every size from 10mm to 25mm. Not bad for $24.99 Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Support Beams for a Wood Mezzanine

    Use the joist hangers and proper fasteners. As recommended above, put the beam on top of the post or notch post to put beam on top of. Make sure to get the LVL properly sized. Places that supply them will also size them for free for you. I am doing a similar loft/mezzanine area in my garage...

    Craftsman is getting around

    Yeah I saw that as well, but SB&D promised right after buying Craftsman that they would bring production back to the USA almost immediately because they had space in other plants. Yup, they sure did, they sent more stuff to China to be made. Noe ask yourself this. Why did they invest so much...

    Craftsman is getting around

    I have to agree with this somewhat. When SB&D bought Craftsman, Sears was already having the tools made in China. SB&D said that they were going to bring the Craftsman line back to the US. Its been almost 3 years now and still no USA made Craftsman tools, at least none that I have seen. Yet...

    Slab prep, winter coming, still questions...

    Really the only place that needs to be pinned is the openings for doors. Other than that, pinning into the walls is like adding belts and suspenders. Your trying to create a monolitic structure, even though it is poured in stages. If you get water in between the pours and it freezes, this...

    Slab prep, winter coming, still questions...

    Pinning the slab into the walls is not a bad idea. I have done that on a few projects. As for the concrete floor being poured over the wall at the openings, again, I prefer that option. Just make sure you pin the slab into the wall using L shaped rebar that is epoxied into the wall, unless...

    Winter Construction & Pole Sleeve Concerns

    I used the post sleeves when I built mine. I do not see how they will promote rot faster, unless they are installed incorrectly. I supplied mine for the builder since they had not used them before and handed them the instructions, which were very simple to follow. Now as far as a lifetime...
