So some may be immediately bored by such a thread and there may be some that have a lot more than this. Actually i do too, but this is just my regular corded circular saws and not my cordless saws or my worm drive Skilsaw or my Porter Cable 314 4.5in trim saw. . My wife saw them on the shelf...

This is in my workshop in my basement, but a bunch of wiring and duct work goes through it since that is where CB panel is too. so i was redoing my ductwork because it is loose and there are leaks. As soon as i dropped the old duct which was about 6 ft. long i found that all this...

So i've posted about warranty experiences i've had in the past and i think we all do complain to everyone when something fails . No one ever posts if things go well and a company goes out of their way to do right. I had bought a batch of Ernst rails recently and i know a lot of people...

So i was sorting through a pile of sockets i had and noticed the majority of "older" sockets were mostly 12 points while everything new was almost exclusively 6 point. This i know has been covered before on GJ, with the exception of some industries that may primarily use 12 point most new...

So i have a few of these old jacks, made in China nothing too extraordinary here that i had some questions about. I also have a newer HF jack as my primary that has been terrific, not pictured. But i have these two other jacks and trying to figure out what i want to do since i do want...

When i got this it wasn't too big a deal to pull sockets or my torque sticks off the impact. Over time it has gotten worse and worse to the point where you almost need 2 people working to get one socket off. Is there something that needs more lubrication or anything? Looking for...

I have a variety of jack stands for general use but what i don't seem to have is a jack stand (or detachable pad ) that would be good to use with pinch weld lift points as cars seem to use a lot these days. I know the preference is to find some underbody structure that is flat to use a jack...

I came across this old planer at my local Habitat Re-store. I think they wanted $25 . I believe it is a 12 in model but haven't found a model number of details on it. If i was going to see if it could fire up before i would buy it to make sure the motor was ok. Assuming it checked...

I just acquired this today at a local Habitat store. I tried going to Alloy Artifacts & online but haven't found a reference for this. 1/2 drive, 12 point, Standard size , photos below We have a lot of knowledgeable people here so someone will know!

So i was going through my sockets especially noting the versions of Craftsman i have. Some questions there but that's worthy of another thread. This one attached is the one i wanted to mention in this thread. It has a permanently attached rubber surround. Does anyone remember when...

OK just wanted to alert for potential problem but under the "Too Good to be True" department here is an eBay deal Home Depot is selling this on special right now for $99 but here it is shipped from Hong Kong for $25...

I noticed some of the metric socket sets still include these sizes. My question is whether anyone has actually every used one of these?

I figured out I can gain a whole lot of room in my Tool Chest socket drawer if I take the sockets off the carriers that came with them (and sit on their sides) and replace them with socket tray that allows them to sit vertically. This is primarily for my impact sockets. I looked at a whole...

So I'm looking for something to divide up my drawers on my Tool Chest I have found a few things searching on Amazon but I'm looking for other suggestions, such as DIY or homemade. I will post some of the stuff I found but please post pics of your solution. Need ideas! thanks

Hi everybody, just wondering if anyone on here owns on of these. I had been reading up on these, of course noting these are probably 10 years out of production. If you have one how do you primarily use it? Just bought one off ebay for a somewhat reasonable price and just received it...

So i had to do some riveting recently in trying to fix up some of my vent work. (building custom shaped heat vents). It became pretty evident that my Rivet tool just plain sucked. It would either partially form rivet head or the head would end up mis-shapened etc. So i started to...

Ok I've been pretty happy with Milwaukee for a while. All of a sudden late last week I went down to my old M12 charger to retrieve a battery. I thought it was really strange but no LEDs were lit on the charger. When I put the battery into my multitool noticed it was fully charged...

So I have been doing a bunch of Drywall recently and i have been more frustrated with the cheap throwaway knives for cutting Drywall. It is difficult to get a deep cut and I am thinking I need to get something better. What is everyone's recommendation for a good tool to cut drywall so it is...

I have bought a lot of stuff from Directtoolsoutlet.com Both their stores (located near outlet malls) and online. I had gotten a Ridgid hybrid fan for $25 (blemish) and a bunch of recon power tools. Definitely sign up for the mailing list. Anyway this is what i got in the email...

So i bought this tool (Hilti DX350) from a local contractor along with his compressor. So I discovered he left me plenty of charges but no fasteners. Anyone know anything about these tools. I am having problems between Hilti web site or any sales site of what fasteners will work...
