    Klein Hex Keys?

    Anyone have Wiha? They have nickel plated and don't seem overpriced.

    PB Swiss Dealers?

    Perhaps, but I find that things on Amazon are really only a good deal if they are in the Amazon's warehouse and shipping is free, but it is highly hit or miss in that respect with specialty brands. Outside vendors selling on Amazon don't seem to hit the mark with things that I look for.

    Late Model GM Trucks, Put Their Owners in Bad Moods!

    I had an 01 Tahoe and not only did the ABS light come on but the system cycled the brakes on dry pavement at 5 mph and below for no apparent reason, making stopping at slow speeds exciting at times. Thanks to the internet, the solution was fairly easy and not too much money, especially with...

    PB Swiss Dealers?

    Anyone have a link to a PB Swiss dealers in the USA that discounts? I seem to find several on-line "distributors" who all seem to sell at the same prices.

    Floor Vapor Barrier

    STEGO is the absolute best that there is. USE IT. We use it as the premium protection on all commercial and institutional buildings. If there are any seams, be sure to use their sealing tape to seal them up.

    Cleaning Concrete Floor

    That's what I thought, but the stuff does not have a ling shelf life. I have 3 gallons of useless toxic waste that I need to pay to get rid of now. If you can buy gallons, do it.

    Asphalt Costs

    We had crushed stone dust and I got tired of it tracking in the garage and wanted to use a snow blower on the tractor. There is nothing like a Bituminous driveway! Be aware that blacktop is made with oil, so if you see a big drop in the price of crude, make a move on the paving.

    Pouring Concrete Floor

    Use a float finish, not broom. Most garages are floated. You need to buy a float tool to do it. Be sure to put a vapor barrier, sheet of heavy plastic under the slab to deter moisture. It will take longer to set up for finishing, but you won't have a damP floor to rust everything. It isw...

    Replace concrete or add to it?

    There is no reason that you can't add around it. We always limit slab sizes by using control and construction joints, so that would be the same as adding pieces. Just don't make a long narrow piece without saw cut or formed joints to limit it's lenght to width ratio. Think of sidewalks; they...

    The Hammer

    I'd bet it would wake up my carpel tunnel syndrom.

    Ernst wrench rails?

    Ernst told me that the largest gripper, 15 wrench was 1 7/8" tall, so it's definately not going to fit a 1 1/2" drawer.

    Klein Hex Keys?

    WERA has some chrome ones that would seem to end the toolbox rusting issue.

    Truss cost?

    Be sure to confirm that the design loads meet your needs and the Building Code. Just meeting the code requirements is not always good enough. Those truss manufacturing guys like to cut to bare minimum to save money. Sorry to say they don't seem to be the brightest of all contractors that I deal...

    Help me find a SS laundry sink.

    Be aware that there are different grades of stainless. Test with a magnet to be sure you're getting the good stuff which does not react to the magnet. The cheaper, magnetic, stainless rusts pretty quickly. Try that test on your gas grill.

    Middle / Top Tool Chest

    Unfortunately their website doesn't give much in the way of dimensions for the chests that they sell. Very poorly set up site.

    Klein Hex Keys?

    I looked at the Bondhus and a minor issue is that their holders for the sets are different from convention. It looks like they use red for metric when many other manufacturers use red for SAE. Would be nice if they were on the same train.

    Klein Hex Keys?

    I believe in buying American so we can all try to get to work. Thanks for the suggestion anyways. Maybe Eklind is worth a look too. I had doubts when Klein ended up in Home Depot, but historically they seemed to be popular, and I still have my father's side cutters from 40 years ago.

    Klein Hex Keys?

    Wow, I'd never think to bring a dollar item to a pawn shop. I guess if they made it to multiple owners then they must hold up.

    Middle / Top Tool Chest

    Can anyone suggest where to look for a full sized middle or top box to fully cover my rolling Craftsman chest that measures 26 1/4" x 17 7/8"? I'd like to add some 3" drawers to the top, but most everything that I find is 16" or 12" deep. Also, what is the purpose of having the upper boxes...
