I have a silverado that I need to do an ABS pump on and it has a bunch of brake line fittings to take out in close quarters, think 6 of them. I've done a few and they are a pain to do with flare nut wrenches going a partial turn and reposition wrench. Are any of the ratcheting flare nut...

Surfing marketplace again and came across a chinese EDM for sale close by that is pretty cheap. I know what they are for but never used one before. But would be nice when nothing else works when you're in a jam. For the price I wouldn't mind getting it "just in case". But wondering if I...

I just picked up a 50,000 btu Mr heater and got it hung and going to vent it tomorrow. Think I got it all figured out but never done it before so just checking to see if those more knowledgeable see any issues or if I'm good to go. Going to be going vertical through the ceiling and then up out...

Saw this for sale and thinking it might make a decent welder cart. Think these were used in schools back in the days before every kid had a computer. If I remember right from way back then the school had a few computers and would wheel these to the class rooms as needed. But that was 40 years...

My wife has a whole room of plants, it's her hobby. She has a bunch of led grow lights on shelves and right now has each one on individual timers. I would like to add another circuit in this room just for the lights that is controlled by a timer. Adding the new circuit of outlets isn't a...

Thinking about eliminating the switches for shop lighting and putting in occupancy sensors. It's a 4 car garage with shelves dividing it up. Main reason is want to eliminate the switches off the wall to free up some space, have cabinets and shelves that will be covering some of the switches...

Thought this might be a fun thread. I posted about a tool a pretty unique tool a lot of people might not know about in another member's thread earlier today. Sitting here tonight got me thinking there are probably a lot of tools out there that I or others may not even know about that may be...

I've had this older headlight aimer for who knows how long and have never used it. Got it used probably 20 plus years ago. I'm pretty sure it's only good on older sealed beam flat type bulbs but not sure. It does have all the original instructions that probably tell what they can be used on but...

Anyone know the main differences between the older 7400 and the newer 7600? I keep my eyes open for one of these at a good deal since I won't use it very often and a 7400 in really good condition popped up for sale for a good price. They look very similar to me so wondering what upgrades the...

Thinking about picking up another bottom box, I'm out of room and also want to empty some of my blow molded case sets into it to free up some shelf space. I don't see much on marketplace so want to explore my options for buying new. Haven't been looking for a box so not sure what's out there...

I just picked up a delta saw buck off marketplace for cheap. I used one 20 plus years ago a couple times for soffit and siding and they work great for that and the reason I bought it. I don't do much siding or soffit work but here and there I will have some to do. For the price if I use it...

I did a trans swap a few months back and found I could have used some work supports, like this under car supports while working on a hoist...

I have a brake job coming up that has the wind back pistons. I have the astro set and also have an older lisle set, but don't have them with me. I can just order another kit, they aren't that expensive. But then would have multiple kits of the same thing. Yes I could rent a set from autozone...

Spend a lot of time searching marketplace when I'm bored looking for good deals. Some work out and some don't but it makes life interesting. Friday night while scrolling I came across a "drill press" that was listed for 200 and then changed to 100 dollars. Messaged him Friday night saying I'm...

I love waking up and having coffee while searching marketplace for deals on shop stuff. This was posted this morning about 20 minutes away for 25 dollars. Did a little searching and there isn't much info out there on it but it's made by harloff which seems to make specialty carts for medical...

I have a bad habit of surfing marketplace before I have my second cup of coffee and finding cheap stuff to make the shop better. Kind of a game to me to find interesting stuff for cheap. There is a dental office being cleared out and they posted the overhead lights on market place for cheap...

I stumbled across these watching a video on youtube. Guy was using an m18 hot glue gun and I was scratching my head never hearing of one before. Little googling came up with one and then on amazon it also suggested this mini blower. I had seen a dewalt version on a youtube video before also...

I have to drop another fuel tank on a silverado. For years I just manhandled tanks up into place but it was a pain, especially when you have to drop it a little and unhook lines or electrical connectors. A couple years back I bought the harbor freight motorcycle/atv jack...

Went to pick up some flammable oil rag cans from a market place ad today, ended up buying 3 of them for 50 bucks. Guy has a whole yard and shop of stuff that came out of a paper mill that shut down and he bought the contents. Had a flammable cabinet and asked how much out of curiosity and he...

Im setting up the shop at the new to us house and bought this cabinet off marketplace a few years ago for cheap and it's a nice heavy duty metal cabinet. I may re paint it down the road but for now I'm just using it. It works nice as a table top for parts and tools when making auto repairs and...
