I'm in need of a set of large combo wrenches from 1.5" - 2.5" for heavy equipment work. My smaller stuff is Craftsman raised panel, so if I could find a set of these, that would be excellent, but I'm not seeing anything on eBay that would work. Same with the local Facebook Marketplace. I...

Looking for good quality stuff at a reasonable price. Please message with details. Scott

Electrical stuff generally makes my head hurt, but I just got a new IR air compressor from Tractor Supply -...

I have a Harbor Freight gas pressure washer at the shop and an electric pressure washer at home. My gas powered unit gets started and hooked up to water every 90 days. It starts easily, but it usually takes a minute or two of running before it starts pressurizing water and actually operating...

So, I have an 80 gallon Quincy for my home garage and currently using a 5 gallon or so Harbor Freight (need it for the race track) for the 20' x 50' shop where I do most of my wrenching on the weekends. I have air tools, but 99% of the time, I'm using my Milwaukee M12 or M18 stuff. However...

I was disassembling a transmission today and had to fish out a few detents out of small holes in the trans and the smallest magnet pickup tool I have was too big (.37" in diameter) so I ended up using the shop vac to **** the detent out. I see some stuff on Amazon that's .25" in diameter, but...

The '72 Javelin project for the 24 Hours of Lemons race is a bit rusty. As a result, it's difficult to weld some of the sheetmetal without blowing through. Now that all four floor patches are welded in, there are several small holes that will need to be filled in. There are a few that we may...

A few buddies and I are building a roached '72 Javelin into a race car for the 24 Hours of Lemons. I ordered a cage from Rollcage Components; highly recommended by the Lemons folks. Should be here on Tuesday. Plan is to build it on plinth boxes and then remove the plinth boxes to weld the...

I have a tool that I use to remove and install coil springs in AMC cars that uses 5/8" all thread. The all thread has to take a fair amount of force and it recently got to the point where it was un-useable. Isn't there some type of all thread that is made for this application? Something that...

So, I outgrew our attached garage last year and now I'm renting a 20' x 50' shop for $1,300/month. In addition to the shop, I pay $50/month for outside storage for my trailer and $250/month for a 10' x 30' enclosed storage for my crew cab dually. I also pay $220/month for a virtual office...

Perusing FB MP today and saw an ad for a Stihl Chainsaw 25" so I clicked on it. Looked at the pics and damn it if it ain't an MS660, asking price of $325. It looked kind of rough and the seller didn't know anything about it, but at that price, it was worth the 30 minute drive to go check it out...

I picked up this hardware storage unit and it had a bunch of hardware. They’re 8” OAL. Head is 1.125” and diameter of threads is about .85”.

So, I have a cheap cable hoist (come-along), a very cable hoist with rope (Wyeth-Scott), and a regular chain hoist (no lever), but what about a lever type hoist with chain instead of cable or rope? Always looking for an excuse to buy another tool, but not sure what the advantages of these...

Fellas - I need to add some outlets for my 20' x 50' shop. It's new construction and I just use it on the weekends, but I do have quite a few tools that will need single phase 110 or 240. I'd like to do this job myself, with some help from a friend that has some experience with residential...

I recently bought a lightly used OTC HDJ5 5 ton jack for my shop, but the casters need to be repaired or replaced; the bearings lost all their ball bearings and it's quite difficult to maneuver that heavy sumbitch, even on flat concrete. The OTC part number is 600060, the casters are 71mm/2.8"...

I outgrew my attached garage so I rented a 20' x 50' shop here in San Antonio several month. I'm in an industrial area and there are 5 units, all 20' x 50', in my building. Shop is new construction. Has a 200A box for the entire building. All the units have 125A boxes. My breaker panel has...

So, I will have three vehicles in the 20' x 50' shop, and they'll barely fit - 1991 F350 crew cab dually, 1971 Javelin road race project, and 1969 Bronco project. The dually runs and drives, but the Javelin does not, and the Bronco will often be immobile as rebuild the drivetrain. I have some...

I'm in need of a drill press for my shop (hobby stuff with cars/trucks/heavy equipment) but I'm planning on buying a mill instead. I realize a drill press will be quicker, but I won't be drilling a ton of holes, so time isn't a huge concern. Strong preference for single phase 110/220. I'm a...

Doing some rearranging in the garage and came across this clamp; it was with some old chainsaw tools from when I was living in Europe. Anyone know what it's used for?

I recently bought a 2967 - that's a full size high torque 1/2" impact - and I'm looking for something a bit smaller - something that will be a bit lighter, easier to maneuver in tight spaces, etc. Will see general use on cars and trucks. I really don't want to go M12 because I'm trying to...
