    Tekton screwdriver handles

    I've been meaning to pick up a set of screwdrivers with a hard / easy to clean grip to keep in my garage box for working on cars. The set currently have are very soft grips, grey, and they are all stained with oil and falling apart. I was going to pick up a set of the Williams hard handles...

    NOS US Made Vise Grips

    I was in a local hardware store today that was a real throwback, with tons of stuff that looks like it's been there for a really long time. I was browsing the tools out of curiosity, and saw a NOS 1997 dated set of US-made Vise Grips, 7LW "Locking Wrench". I think the price tag on them was $36...

    Who makes Mastercraft Maximum Ratchets?

    Any fellow Canadians out there know who makes the new 90 tooth Mastercraft Maximum ratchets at Canadian Tire? I know GearWrench makes their ratcheting wrenches (or at least used to, my older Maximum wrenches say GearWrench on one side), and these ratchets look very similar to the GW 84T...

    Best *Reasonably Priced* Ratchets

    I'm looking to upgrade my ratchets and/or ratcheting breaker bars, but I'm not really sure what brand to go with. I'm not looking to spend a huge amount of money on something stupid expensive like SO, but I'm also looking for something that is an upgrade to the HF-grade stuff. I'm just a DIYer...

    Vibration Isolators - Spring vs. LDS Rubber?

    Wondering if anyone has any thoughts or input on different types of vibration isolators, namely spring-style versus LDS rubber. I just installed a Modine Hot Dawg heater in my garage, which was 'hard' installed by the metal housing to 2x4's mounted to the ceiling studs. My son's bedroom is...

    Sound Proofing vs. Absorbing Garage Ceiling

    I moved into a new build house where the garage is under a bedroom, and I'm looking to try and reduce the amount of sound that is transmitted to the bedroom. The problem is I'm not really sure if what I want is just sound proofing, or if sound absorbing / acoustic materials would help too...

    Full size Chinese 2-post lift vs Dannmar MX6

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum and looking for some advice / opinions. I'm going to be buying a 2 post car hoist soon, and I'm a little torn on what to buy based on my budget. For about the same price locally I can get either a Chinese-made full height lift, such as an Atlas 9KBP or Torin Big...
