Our hose bib in the front yard is about 25’ on the opposite side of the driveway and (in)conveniently placed behind all of the landscape (bushes and whatnot). I’m thinking of hanging a retracting water hose reel in the garage. No plans to use it in the garage, but maybe I will instead of...

Inside of my snapon 1/4-inch ratcheting solid handled screwdriver...the black retention clip. Hoes on one way and the little ears prevent it from being pulled off. I need one, what are they called? TIA, Matt

I have the original uninsulated dual single bay garage doors which I’d like to upgrade while I install new openers (it’s time). I’d like to make some customizations while I’m at it - on one side I plan to install a lift so I’d like to run the door all the way up against the ceiling. To do so I...

I’m fairly certain that the board stretcher is an urban myth. The pipe stretcher on the other hand, clearly can be yours for $155.23.

My bayco drop cord has a triple female end on it and it’s just worn out. Anyone know where to find a replacement end for it? I’m surprised I can’t find one. I’d settle for either a double or triple. Thanks. Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Over time, not all of the links in this Journal Post or the original post have survived and are now missing. Here are some links to albums where you should be able to find most of them in picture album format. Please enjoy. Wrench Organizers -...

I️ had it in my head I’d get an SAE set to compliment my metric set. I’m looking at the SO Industrial brands catalog and don’t see a Super Combo high polish set in SAE. I️ see black, yellow, and red. Do they only make them in metric? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Us GJ members have spent a considerable amount of time dog piling on amazing tool deals on Amazon within minutes of when they're first identified. Knowing so many of us have, I'm curious how frequently they've panned out. I have a few outstanding which I'm beginning to feel is more a game of...

Working on my vehicles I have a variety of accessories that require waterproof connections (if I do it right). i've been researching and it appears that the two best choices are Deutsch and Weather Pack connectors. It appears the the Deutsch has more crimp points and they're available in...

My house and garage is wired (Cat5e) and all wires run into a centralized part of the basement. I'd say there's probably 40 or so cables. Every so often I run a new one or move an existing one. The way I typically identify which one I'm messing with is I look to see which light goes out on...

I'd really like a rubberized/protective sleeve for my fluke 115 similar to what I gave on my cell. I've looked around but haven't found one yet. Does such a thing exist? TIA

I'm looking for a 121 oscillating spindle sander for a project I'm working on. I want it to be in good condition or luck into a NOS one. If you have one or know where I can find one, please send me a message. Thanks!

So I've been considering a portable band saw and a table (like Swag) and I'd probably use it half the time on wood and half on metal. While researching I found a post by a guy who was having problems cutting wood because they jam up with saw dust. Then he made a few comments about finding out...

I have an idea and to see if its going to work, can someone pull a tape on your saw? First measurement is the width essentially from the outside of the grip to the blade. Second is if I removed the grip part...removing the red plastic part. Thanks!

Gotta move it about a foot. Went to HD and got the wire and a few lugs. Figured no biggie, done it before. Pulled the wire and found aluminum. Not totally shocked but wasn't expecting it. (1) I noticed a clear goop (like grease) on the wire(s) where it had been tightened into the lugs of...

3/4's of the main floor is solid wood and the rest is tile. We've decided to remove the tile and go 100% wood and I need a nailer for install. Bosch? Wo makes the best gun? Today I have Bosch and Porter Cable nailers but aren't tied to a brand if there's something better out there. FYI... I...

I have fitted black pipe before but the supply demands of my setup is what I'm unsure of. The inside black pipe is 1-inch. This pipe feeds the fireplace, the HW heater, the back porch, and the furnace. Then there's a T in the line with a ~30 foot of 1/2-inch pipe running to the other side of...

So over in the Hot Deals thread someone posted up an observation about some Channellocks that were $9.99 with a 3 - 5 weeks shipping. After doing some research on CamelCamelCamel.com I decided it was time to upgrade my "pliers drawer" from the Harbor Freight stuff that's served me fairly well...

So I gotta project going that's gonna need paint. I have quite a bit of experience with HLVP guns spaying lacquers, stains, and polys but have never sprayed a car. I'm fairly good with the wet edge too FWIW. Now, to be fair, I've been in the booth on a few paint jobs end to end and have...

I'm not sure if everyone has a dog door or not but if you do, it's very likely you've questioned how secure it actually is.. Every time I open or close it I am reminded how big a piece of **** mine is and how easy it would be for someone to just kick it in. There are a few doors out there that...
