    Looking for suggestions on a cordless impact.

    Torqued to 100 lbs... They bought it on Amazon and I read the reviews this AM. I wasn't the only one complaining about the lugnuts. One guy called Dewalt and he said the unit was "marginal" and recommended the DCF894B instead.

    Looking for suggestions on a cordless impact.

    One that will remove lugnuts! Kids bought me a DeWalt, DEWALT DC820B 1/2-Inch 18-Volt Cordless Impact Wrench, it didn't budge them... Not used in a shop, just my garage maintaining our vehicles.

    New house, sloped garage floor. Rip it out or can I go over it???

    Plenty of good ideas I appreciate them all. When I popped the drain cover off I was hoping for a broken p-trap, that wasn't the case. The drain pipe is 3" in diameter now. I'm leaning towards replacing the floor so I have a flat surface to work on the car. We don't plan on being here long as...

    New house, sloped garage floor. Rip it out or can I go over it???

    We bought a new to us 50 year old home last fall. House has a water spigot and a drain in the garage floor. The floor is definitely sloped towards the drain. Since we've been here, there have been a few driving rains against the garage door. About 1' of the sloped garage floor extends outside...

    Small garage air compressor question.

    OK, I ordered the cold start valve. Assuming install will be just before the quick disconnect connection for the hose?

    Small garage air compressor question.

    That would be correct. Starts fine, then just struggles on the restart.

    Small garage air compressor question.

    Good Morning & Happy New Year! Several years ago I had a neighbor move away and he left me a small Craftsman air compressor. I use it for adding air to tires and basically nothing else. Problem, half the time I use it, it trips the circuit breaker... We recently moved into a new home and the...

    Sealing a concrete basement floor??

    Our current home is 60 years old and we have been in it the last 23. Our current basement floor appears to be sealed as it has a little sheen to the concrete and it's amazing easy to clean/sweep up. Anyone have any idea what products were in fashion all those years ago? What we have now has...

    Four post lift owners. Bolt to floor or not?

    I've been doing some research on four post lifts and looked at plenty of pictures. Living in the Chicago area, quakes are not a concern. So the question. Is your four post lift bolted to the floor or not? Thanks!

    Looking at a used Bendpak...

    It's a four post. Plan is to use it for basic maintenance, storage. Getting two cars in one stall would be huge for me! I have a Kwik-Lift now and just looking to move up.

    He has it listed as an ST-9000. I didn't see that on the BP site. Here's the pics...

    Looking at a used Bendpak...

    It looks to be in very good condition but the current owner appears to have parts everywhere. The asking price has lured me in, just curious if parts are missing how much the bill will rise! Thoughts? TY!

    Going to install an attic ladder i the garage, 16" on center.

    Older house built like a brick (you know the rest). Looks like most attic ladders are designed for 24" on center and my attic is 16. Would the attach pic look OK?? Ignore the 2x4 ceiling note, they're 2x12's Thanks!!

    Need help finding a 2-3 ton jack that will lift over 20".

    I was hoping to avoid any extra blocks and such, but I may not be able to. 20" is what I need to get the rear stands of the Kwik Lift up. Having this aluminum one in the garage for one day makes me never want to grab my old heavy 3 ton again. They were out of that one, I was really hoping...
