So a friend sent me a text yesterday that an acquaintance of his has a "snap on portable hoist that raises 4'" and it is likely to be for sale soon. I have a feeling that to make this deal I'd have to go look at it with cash and a trailer and make a decision on the spot. So what do I need to...

Anyone use a Motive bleeder and think it's worth having for a DIYer? I have to replace a line on my truck, install disks on my '54 wagon, and flush the mustang and the wife's car. I usually work alone so no one to pump brakes. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Helping some friends with a roll cage and we're notching 2" tubing with a hole saw. Problem is they are getting 2 holes max out of a hole saw. One problem is speed, they're running way too fast. Other problem is quality of holesaws, princess auto doesn't have great stuff. Any recommendations...

Found evidence of a mouse in the backseat of my truck today. It's my own fault, the truck isn't my daily driver and I only use it for camping and Home Depot runs. The kids left goldfish crackers in the backseat and since I can't get the truck in garage I haven't vacuumed it in about a month...

I have a small problem with drainage at the end of my asphalt driveway to the garage. There's a ditch that starts on one side of my driveway, the other side i have a gravel parking pad. The gravel is slightly higher than the driveway so when it rains the water washes gravel a cross the driveway...

I'm building a deck to drink beer on when not working in the garage. Using pressure treated lumber since I spent all my money on tools ;) I was told to use an end cut preservative, Cut-N-Seal is what's available here, $20+ for a quart can. Here's what it says on their website: What is...

I have a 40w solar charger that I mounted on my travel trailer to keep the battery charged. I've been using it for about 2 years with no issues. Last week I put in a new battery and now the fuse in the line from the charge controller to the battery blows. Electrical isn't my strongest skill...

My 2005 tundra was dead this morning, Last drove it two days ago and it started and ran fine then. I though it may be dirty battery terminals so I cleaned them tonight but noticed when re connecting I got an arc from the cable to the post, keys in my pocket and doors shut. I put my test light...

So my miter saw let the smoke out last night, now it doesn't shut off :mad: It's a Mastercraft brand, not sure who makes it. But I doubt I can get parts and I was never really happy with it (it was a gift). The stops were not very exact and it had a little too much play to make exact cuts...

This week's garage project is making the wood floor for the bed of my fathers '63 F100 project. The truck is going to be a kind of beater/parts runner, definitely not a restored show truck. What sort of finish should we use on the boards, I want something that will penetrate and keep the wood...

A friend gave me about 500 cutting disks, but they are 5" with 1/2 arbor. I have 5 grinders but they are all 4-1/2 with the a 5/8 arbor. Is there such a thing as a 5" grinder with a 1/2 arbor? I guess that why he was giving them away
