I have a 20' x20' foot shop with 10 1/2' foot ceilings. The ceiling is painted with a gloss white with three coats. I stuggled with how many fixtures to install and finally settled on six 4' foot two bulb fixtures without reflectors. I installed twelve T12 high output bulbs. The decision became...

There was a message here that gave a website and also a phone number for the The Sign Guy who produced street signs and such. His website is no longer up nor does his telephone number work. Is he out of business completely or still around? Where was he located? Any ideas would be appreciated...

What are all of yiou using for a inline filter? Need something to filter out water. I only have a 33 gallon tank but even draining the tank on a regular basis I still get moisture at the exhaust of air tools. How much does a filter cost and what should I be looking for as far as features and...

I have never had an issue with the Boeshield T9 causing a problem with wood taking a stain. As long as it is allowed to dry it should not be a problem. Boeshield is handy to keep around for luricating things also. I have a sailboat that is used in salt water and use it on sail tracks, blocks...

I have used Boeshield T9 on the tables of saws and drill presses, etc. for years. It comes in a spray can and you can just apply a light coat, wipe the surface with a clean rag and let it dry. Provides rust protection and also has a slippery dry surface that allows wood and metal to slide nicely...

I did a search on the site and read everything here about tool battery rebuilds. I did not find any comments about those who have had batteries rebuilt and how they functioned or which companies they used. I have a couple Dewalt 12 volt drills that have given me good service. I actually bought...

I don't think there is any advantage to using a sprayer. The sealer I used and others I have seen are only a little bit thicker then water. I think its more important to keep a wet edge as you apply individual coats. I have heard of people using a garden sprayer to get it all down quickly. You...

Do they work? Are they worth the money? Which model have you used?

John Z where did you get the Woodward Ave. sign hanging on the wall? Having grown up in Detroit and living there most of my life before moving south the sign has meaning and a lot of memories from the 60's.

I am interested in insulating a 16' by 8' garage door. There have been some discusions here but not a lot of detail. I would like to use something that has a plastic or vinyl backing facing into the interior of the garage which would reflect light and also be easy to keep clean. An internet...

I ordered one and when I put in my Craftsman Card Number the balance showed up as $0.00. I did have to put in credit card information before the system would accept the order. The order summary showed shipping free, no sales tax or anything else. Something I probably didn't need but nice to...

If you really think you need an industrial grade belt sander or disc sander you may want to visit burrking.com and take a look. These Burr King units are very heavy duty and built to last. Be aware they are expensive! I happened to get an old unit without motor that was probably at least 20...

Is there some kind of vinyl covering the on 4 x 8 sheets of foam used on the garage door insulation? Or was that surface put on after the foam was in place? How did you attach the foam to the door? What kind of adhesive? Looks very nice and well done. I'm sure it will make a lot of difference in...

I don't know if the link will work but I have used the Behr Solid Concrete Stain mixed with Seal Krete Garage Floor Sealer. After pressure washing the floor I too had some paint spots on the floor as well as a few unknown stains. I am happy with the floor but I found the sealer/stain mixture...

Anybody have a idea where the vice grip type clamp can be purchased. Seems like a great idea for general everyday type use.

I want to buy a torque wrench for some general duty. Mostly lug nuts but occasional engine work. Ive been looking at the 1/2" drive 25-250 ft/lb Craftsman but found that Harbor Freight has a S-K 1/2 " (46691-1VGA) on sale for $79.99. Is this the same "Made in America" S-K company or some China...

Has anyone tried to order the Fluorescent Work Light #73917 (page 5) as shown in the Craftsman Club Flyer for November 5-11? Can't order it on line because it won't come up under that number. Doesn't seem to have a match in the tool catalog. Whats up?

I looked at the local Sears and also asked a sales person and they were not aware of a 1/4 inch drive set for that price. Can you tell me what the sets number was? Probably not on sale anymore but I could then keep an eye out for future sale.

I have a fair amount of experience using machine tools such as mills and lathes but have never used one of the multi-tools so can't comment on how well they work. While at the Rolex Sports Car Series racing at Barber Motorsports Park in July I did notice a Grizzly multi-tool mounted on one of...

What is a good method of ratchet wrench socket organization? I have looked at some of the Craftsman stuff but it is not exactly what I'am looking for. Anyone have a source for just the plain stainless steel or chrome bars with spring clips on them. What else is out there.
