I have a DC925 hammer drill from about 8 years ago, 18v NiCd. I got it because of the metal 3 speed transmission and hammer drill function. It is getting heavy at over 6 lbs and the batteries are getting to the point of not taking a charge any more. I'm looking for a replacement. Typical uses...

I have a Husky oil-less air compressor that is about 12 years old, it lives in my garage, and I use it about 2 times a month, and a lot more in the warmer months. I've replaced the drain valve twice, because eventually they get jammed shut with rust. Today when I removed the non-functional...

I have an older Husky oil-less air compressor. It is 5 hp, 22 gal, 150 PSI. Right now, it sits in my garage and I use it for: impact driver, inflating tires, blowing debris. I want to move into using an air ratchet, air grinder, and some day a paint gun. It is very loud, but I like the ability...

We have an older Polaris jet ski SL 700 DLX and there is quite a bit of what looks like oily water inside the engine compartment. Everything in there is kind of slippery, and the bottom has oily gunk and water that the bilge pump cannot seem to get rid of. I'd like to somehow wash the engine...

I guess you could consider pants tools! I'm looking for a good set of pants for DIY garage work. Right now, I use old Levi's jeans that are worn out and no longer are what I would consider good for work or going out. But they don't hold up and end up with holes and rips, especially on the...

Hi, I posted about heirloom tools in a thread and got many useful responses. FWIW, I consider "heirloom" to mean quality tools that hold up well and will be cherished by those who inherit them. I started thinking along the lines of Carlyle, but have reconsidered. Here are a few first picks...

I'll be buying the HF 44" toolbox for my garage, and am looking for a quality set of wrenches and sockets. One requirement is that they have to have a lifetime warranty, but a slightly more important requirement is that they are able to be handed down to the next generation with pride. My dad...

I change oil in 4 vehicles, a lawn tractor, a snow blower, and a pressure washer. Right now, I have a oil collection pan and some funnels in one place, the oils in different places, oil filters in another place, and tools/towels somewhere else. A lot of my time is spent gathering and then...

I have a summer property that has a downdraft natural gas furnace. Every couple years, a small insect (spider?) builds a small web in the gas port or venturi, so that when the thermostat calls for heat, the result is a slobbery flame close to the pilot. Last time, I had to call a heating guy...

I need to run 4 cables through conduit, down a garage wall, to route cables from my garage attic to my basement. I'd like advice on conduit size as well as the mechanics of feeding the coaxial. Thanks.

I had my garage floor poured about 5 years ago, and the contractor went around after with a pump spray bottle and coated the concrete with some sort of sealant. Most of it has worn off, but there is still a dull to moderate sheen in some areas. I'd like to epoxy coat the garage floor, but want...

From normal use? Like no cheater bar, no beating it with a sledge, etc? I'm asking because I'm looking to build up a wrench and socket supply in their 44" base cabinet, and have heard their tools have come a long way. Over the span of 30+ years I've had a few of: craftsman, husky, kmart, ace...

Hi. I have a dilemma regarding work areas and tool storage. Looking for guidance from others who have had a similar situation. I am an avid tinkerer, home repairer, appliance repairer, and do my own car maintenance and my mower/snowblower. I have a partially finished basement, and the...
