    What To Look For When Hiring A Structural Engineer?

    I have decided not to build a new garage on the back of my property and instead upgrade my current attached garage. I plan on turning a two car garage into a one car "workshop" and adding a new parking area next to the house with a lean-to over it for covered parking. One of the main things I...

    Anyone using Ikea (Or similar) kitchen cabinets in their garages?

    I have decided to go with a white and soft-green motif for the garage. While looking for a simple shop cart, I came across Ikea's raskog utility cart and immediately decided I wanted to incorporate it's color into my garage renovation. Looking over their kitchen cabinets, they have extremely...

    Working With What I Have - 20' x 20' Bug House!

    After getting numerous quotes from garage builders, concrete, electric, insulation, plumbing companies and dealing with city ordinances, I have decided to forgo my desire to build a separate garage anytime soon (or ever) and just work with what I have - a 20' x 20' attached space. After all was...

    Pittsburgh Pro Screwdriver Set - Amazing Value

    I was going to post this on a different thread about Walmart/Hart screwdrivers but decided not to derail that thread and instead dedicate a specific one to this screwdriver set. Can't say enough nice things about them. 8 screwdrivers for $9.99 and the 20% coupon applies, which brings the peice...

    Menards - Forstner Drill Bit Set $5.99

    Bought this over the weekend and I'm baffled by the low price. The quality of the bits and packaging seems superb. Plenty of youtube videos showing them being used to good results...

    I have a coworker who has a few DeWALT hand tools and they seem to be about as good as Craftsman, Kobalt and Pittsburgh Pro. For $20, seems like a good kit to have around. This will more than likely be under the Christmas tree this week :)...

    Any Tool Builders Here - Weird Handle Ratchet

    Yesterday I was working on a customer's car and went to sit inside of the vehicle to drive it outside of the shop when I noticed that a door handle had been left on the driver's seat. I grabbed the handle and, oh man, it truly felt great in my hand. I held it in front of my face and pictured...

    I Don't Understand The ICON Pricing Structure - Tool Chests

    I have seen the ICON tool chests in person and have compared them to the US General Series 2's which are usually one isle over. Yes, they are a better put box and I would definitely be okay with paying more for them, but holy schnikes the pricing doesn't make any sense to me. Currently the...

    I'm currently talking with a local company about a 22'x31' metal garage and would like to know if anyone here has one the same size and how is the inside room working out for you? I want to have two 9'x7x roll up doors for the cars and some extra room to the side for tool/equipment. Any...

    Thinking outside of the box... Hybrid building/foundation.

    Hello everyone �� Last fall I had two separate garage building companies quote me on a 24' x 24' stick build garage, pretty straightforward and plain, and to my shock they both came in right around $25k. This was for a 4" slab, no electrical, one 16'x7' garage door and one man door. Again...

    Ryobi Warranty - Great!

    One of my 4 Ryobi batteries stopped charging so I went to Home Depot last night to ask about a replacement while still under warranty. An extremely hot (don't tell my wife ;))customer service agent said I needed to contact Ryobi for help. I called Ryobi this morning and 20 minutes later they...

    eBay 20% coupon for Worx and SunJoe brands.

    eBay coupon "JOE4WORX" applies a 20% coupon for anything SunJoe or Worx related. Looking on the site, came across the Worx Jawhorse at $82 with free shipping before the 20% off, which comes to $65 shipped. I thought that was a great deal.

    BMW Garden Tool Holder(???)

    Hello, I must admit and say that I hate throwing away things. Yes, I can be a bit of a hoarder. With that said, I work at a BMW dealership and come across these strut spacers which are installed on most new cars from the factory. These spacers are removed during the QC1 inspection and thrown...

    HF/Pittsburgh Comedy ;)

    Went and grabbed a Phillips screwdriver yesterday while replacing the batteries on my son's RC car. At first I didn't understand why it wasn't working, then a quick check told me the whole story ;) Seems like someone wasn't paying attention 😂

    Who makes OEM Tools' boxes/cabinets?

    I came across this box/cabinet combo yesterday and it fits pretty much all my necessities, including the price ($1050 before shipping). I don't have an immense amount of tools at home like I do at work and I'm positive I'll be able to get all of my stuff organized in it. Problem is, I know...

    Opinion or reviews on Kobalt Tool Cart #1004287

    Stumbled upon this Kobalt tool cart while browsing Lowes and it seems like it's a great little cart for the price. Comparing this one to the similar Craftsman or HF, I think this one has a lot to offer with the nice looking casters and peg board. Does anyone here have this cart and if so, can...
