    Craftsman 150 drill press purchase

    I'd pass. That's not a good starting point to do a restoration.

    STICKERS!!!!!! Everyone knows that stickers make you faster and I love blue so I updated the fork, shock and wheels all to blue. :3gears: Feels faster already :thumbup: Wheels where kind of a pain in the *** to do, but I'm so glad that I did.

    High wattage LED

    Cree XHP70 up to 4022 Lumens 7mm x 7mm 32 watts. Arrange a couple side by side and you have more light per watt then any other style of light. They get better every day too.

    Ryobi One+

    Used them for years and they are dirt cheap. Batteries go on sale all the time so pick up a few extra and complete your collection from garage sales and swap meets. I just changed up to the milwaukee m12 brushless and at half the weight/same power i'm in love.

    High wattage LED

    There is no need for a single giant LED. They are so reliable that it doesn't matter. You should be looking at total output, CRI and lens design. Get a high CRI led, like a CREE and the correct lens to throw the beam you want. ie spot, flood. For around the house and auto work a M18™...

    Finally got some garage time. Cleaned up a little and did some maintenance on the motorcycle. Three weeks ago I went of for my first long ride in forever. Got some lunch and headed up to the top of Mt Diablo. :3gears: It was a beautiful day, but when I got on the bike to head home it...

    The 5 Stitches Garage.

    Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL Looks Great. That's a ton of storage and the Craftsman wall is killer. I would ditch the shelf and do pegboard, but I like to have a little more bench area and tools in grabbing distance.

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    There is another part to the equation. The size of the socket makes a huge difference in the impacts ability to remove a bolt. They sell special honda crank bolt sockets that r 3x the weight of a normal one for this reason. The m12 fuel will have no problem removing a property torqued lug nut...

    Ideas for a compressor enclosure?

    I got the box as scrape from work. It is weather tight and vented. The steel is around 10 gage. To start I leveled the area with pavers and set the box in place, all 100+ lb’s of it. Then I cut an old 2 inch pipe and a stub of PVC. I wanted the connection to the house to be a slip fit...

    Delta DP 220 vintage wont lower down

    It's the little handle on the very front left. I locks the spindle from moving up and down by compressing the split in the front of the casing. loosen it up and see if it moves freely. Do Not use force to get the main handle to move, you will break something.

    Hey Kyle. I used door molding for the rest of the house when we moved in, so I picked up some more of that. I like the solid wood and the price difference is worth it with the kids beating on it...
