A 25 horse motor is quite large. If I were you, I would look into a 3 phase 208y/120 generator. Military generators are great for the money but they are LOUD unless enclosed and their "fuel mileage" isn't as good as current civilian generators. Someone please correct me if i'm wrong but you...

Re: $25000 is my commands(fiancee) approved limit All personal finances aside, we really need more information. I have a rough idea of what I want (2 car garage, 12 foot ceilings, bedroom/office, bathroom, block walls) and it will be in the mid 20's and that's with me doing nearly EVERYTHING by...

Yogi, have any luck with used tools in these parts? I did some pawn shop hunting down on SR 50 on Friday. Godfather Pawn had some good stuff, lot's of construction tools but nothing I need at the moment.

My guess is that they are re-bodied porter cables built to look a bit more like Dewalts. The 12 volts definitely look like porter cable tools. Maybe these are for Wal-mart, there are a lot of Stanley tools on the shelf at Walmart

Lots of ratchets in here :thumbup: Something my tool box is in desperate need of :sad:

Flex head wrenches are for the cool kids! :rocker:

Unincorporated Polk County (right between Orlando and Tampa) seems pretty easy going. There are quite a few family farms and orange groves. Lakeland (in Polk) is a neat place, historic district is cool. I'm currently in Oviedo which is northeast of Orlando, close to UCF. It is nice, easy to have...

How was the railroad? I've always been fascinated by trains.

Thanks guys! Yogitech, I'm actually in Orlando right now for school at UCF! Im usually back and forth between here and Sarasota for work and school. LOTS of driving this semester, almost done thankfully.

No welding hood required! :lol_hitti

Hello! My name is Justin and I'm from Florida. I am in my early 20's and finishing up college. I have been a tool and car guy since I was a toddler, I even had my own workbench at my preschool! My dad is professional mechanic since the early 80's and I have been learning from him my whole life...

Did a search but couldn't find if this has been covered. For me it's my Snap-on FX936, 3/8 drive flexible locking long handled ratchet. I absolutely love this tool, the locking feature is amazing. Too me, there is nothing worse than fighting a loose flexible ratchet in a tight spot under a car...

Actually screwdriving: Williams and Snap on hard handles Beating on stuff: Harbor Freight freebies and husky

This. I'm currently on a two year HVAC renovation at a school, we have been doing similar renovations to old block walls to install mezzanines for air handlers. It really isn't that bad. Depending on how the wall is built, you can knock out some holes in the block above the beam and pilaster...

20 volt "max" lithium ions are actually 18 volt batteries under load. It's a pure marketing move, same with the 12 volt max lithium ions (10.8 volt). Most brands have settled on 18 volt for medium size tools and 36 volt for large tools. 24 volt tools seem to be on the way out due to the...

For starters, cordless sawzalls use quite a bit of power. For your use, I would consider 18 volt to be your minimum voltage. I personally own a makita 18 volt lithium ion sawzall and I love it. The only draw back is battery life (with any sawzall). One battery will not last all day, not even...

Looks like a mini ductwork jack

Magliner makes nice hand trucks, strapped on the back of most beer and soft drink trucks

NinetyTwoFifty, do you have a old Makita drill interest? For some reason I can't see myself parting with my 9.6 makita even though it is junk compared to my 18volt LXT's. I have old memories of my dad using one when I was a kid in the early 90's when they where THE cordless drill to have.

good idea :thumbup:
