    Most versatile pliers I’ve ever used

    I like; bought when first came out and use constantly. They are getting a little bit sloppy. Will probably pick up smaller version soon!

    Seeking Advise: F350 peeling/chipped paint and rust.

    I've been mechanically fixing up a recently purchased 2010 F-350 CC Longbox. I live in the heart of the rust belt. Went out of my way to buy a slightly-less-rusty-than-most-local truck within my budget. Anyway, it has plenty of body issues. This is a work truck. I would like to treat + slow...

    Not enough AC return air vents?

    My current home is similar to yours, with a more meandering layout. (central A/C in MN) We only have 2 return vents total at living room area. Its not ideal. Master bedroom is furthest away in an addition and is warmer than rest of house (summer), but not significantly. Place relies on...

    Gear oil bottle pump

    Same. I greatly prefer this basic style pump for marine lower units. The only issues I've had are with crappy easily replaceable or re-clampable hoses. The one I've been using the past several years is flawless, was cheap.

    Full face, hooded eye protection, does it exist?

    You are sounding a bit paranoid, but I hear you. By all means always wear eye protection!! Under car rust work is going to scatter **** everywhere obviously. I like the UV Bionic face shield and i really can't stand wearing more than that. I need to buy another just because eyeballs are not...

    Vevor Anvils 35% off

    My "66 lb" unit was delivered today. It appears it was in a box at one point. :lol: It appears that said box fell apart in transit and just the shipping label portion of box got slapped onto top of anvil. It arrived intact and sooner than expected. For that reason I'll say it was worth it...

    Propane tank size for kitchen stove (2 person, 95% cooking)

    Previous owner of our place had 2 old 100lb tanks for cookstove only. Setup was not very clean, fugly tanks on display, and oven had issues. I ditched it all for electric. I'm sure the propane setup worked well for many years and I do prefer gas for cooking but electric is more convenient...

    VRPA40 pump and 9mm in bedroom. Other related tools are in the safe. Kitchen junk drawer is my go to, full of misc. ****. Have a couple very basic socket sets laying around house. I really like the idea of having a basement wall hung organizer for basic tools. Shop is very detached...

    10/2 MC cable: How to connect to lift? + other MC related questions

    Thanks sparky. As far as my research shows, that is what is recommended. Breakers are not expensive and I'm not apposed to dropping to 20A or even 25A. The directions with lift honestly ****, especially the wiring part. I will see what I can accomplish here. I am still in the process of...

    10/2 MC cable: How to connect to lift? + other MC related questions

    Yes, new lift. Brand new Chinese mfg. Upon further investigation, they all come this way. I also may have just enough room in "switch box" to connect MC cable internally. I think I may go this route AND install a disconnect switch above the controls on lift column to kill power in case of a...

    10/2 MC cable: How to connect to lift? + other MC related questions

    Sorry for huge pic. What is the recommended way to connect this to solid 10/2 wire (with ground)? Does this connection need to be made inside of a box? Obviously the leads here are pretty short. The inside of the box doesn't really have much extra room and still need to make a connection for...

    Heating MN garage

    You don't need to insulate the slab. My old garage (central MN) is slightly bigger than yours. It was completely unfinished 2x4 construction when I bought the place. Conventional poured slab, not insulated. First insulated ceiling with staple up batts. Later finished ceiling and insulated...

    AMGO/PEAK 407-P Four post lift

    You bought a OH-12s late last year correct? Liking it? Glad to hear no issues. I have seen minor quality control issues with my AMGO during the not yet finished assembly. Definitely not Rotary quality, but nothing bad or overly concerning to report. Some not-so-great welds, but nothing...

    AW-32 vs AW-46 vs ATF for automotive lift application in colder climate

    I need to pick up some hydraulic oil for lift install in MN. Shop is heated to 40* min and would plan on using lift at this temp or just above freezing periodically. The manual says to only use "46#" hydraulic oil without exceptions to climate. I think AW-32 would be a better choice and...
