Hear me out. I have a bench that is outside as i like to work outdoors in the summer months while it is nice. I am wanting to attach a carpenters flush style mount to it and then make wooden T bases for thing like my bench grinder, buffer/polisher etc so i can just set them down into the...

I live in the midwest. Once spring hits like today (its 70 degreess) and nice days all summer i want to be able to go from the house to the garage (detached) withouout worrying about squirriels or other garbage animals getting into the garage when i am not looking. I also like to have a huge fan...

I am looking for a Good UL Listed Magnetic Power Strip. Nothing longer than 18 inches and a short cord is just fine. The outlet is about a foot away from where i wanted it mounted. Just something with strong magnets for the side of a metal workbench and something certified that isnt a POS. A...

Im looking for drawer divders or ideas. You know those expandable bars that OTR Truckers use in their trailers that ratchet out to hold the load. They have rubber on each end and expand out across the trailer and stay in place Do they make anything like this but smaller? I want to put some...

I picked up a ~60x30 desk......and its a decent heavy laminate top with particle board. the nice thing about this unit is it is a lift table so it goes from about 20 inches low to right up to your eyeballs high....maybe 5.5ft or so with a flick of a lever. the legs and base are...

I replaced my garage door threshold for the side door recently but im confused on how to anchor it to the floor. It is concrete. The previous one had no bolts or screws so there are no holes. I am wondering if some sort of adhesive would be the proper way? Right now its just wedged in there and...

Im looking for a decent Air compressor water trap recommendation. Ive got a stand alone small cambell hausfeld on my 30 gallon compressor now and its about 20 years old. the drain valve leaks and im sure it is not repairable. Im looking for a good small stand alone unit like this to replace...

ANyone have any reasonable recommendations for socket rails that will hold impact sockets? IM tired of them being loose in my drawer and a pain to travel with loose. I am thinking some husky brand from HD would probably do just fine but just looking for recommendations.

I am trying to zip out some rusted holes in my pickup bed. I have been using a 4in angle grinder for the larger straightish sections but i have some contours around the fender wells and such that it is too big for. I also have some tight radius turns to cut. THe 4 1/2 angle grinder is too...

I had a real cheap reversible removable tip one that broke. IT lasted me years but i rarely used it. I am noticing a trend as i try to find a replacement. They are either all copies of the piece of garbage one i had or they are very very expensive or even more expensive if you get the whole...

I have a wilton drill press vice that has one of the tabs broken off and is full of drill marks. I got it extra greasy but everything works great on it and the jaws are good. I cleaned it up and degreased it but now i am thinking i want to prime and paint it. What very little green paint...

I have always knocked mine over because they are tall, skinny and top heavy. I used to keep them on the floor so they wouldnt fall off the bench and still i would trip over them or they would fall over. Its just one of those things that drove me crazy. Too tall to store in a milk crate and then...

Which style do you use? I have always had a few of the drawer style on the bench but they are frustrating to find things quickly. I am thinking of slowly switching over to the second kind. You can look down and see everything at a glance, they have a handle so you can bring them to the job and...

I tend to use these for getting into small spaces and lubing pivots etc. They are really handy. You can fill them with the lube of your choice. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L6FNEP6/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Does anyone have one they would recommend? I have had the plastic style and they seem to...

Anyone use them for storage in the shop/garage? I Got a 2/4 set of small cubby lockers...all-steel and they dont have any hardware for the lock or opening mechanism. Id like to replace all of the open spots with a proper mechanism so i could put padlocks on each and then build up a angle iron...

I am thinking of sourcing a cheap 2 drawer filing cabinet with the larger pull out drawers to use for garage storage. My thought is to use it for coiled up ext cords, hoses, perhaps jackstands and other odd items. IN a perfect world i would be able to get one that has the keys so i can lock...

Has anyone used the HyperIkon LED replacement bulbs for florescent fixtures? It looks like they sell the 4ft bulbs to go in the fixtures you already have or you can buy the full thing fixture and all for not too much more money. I am thinking of doing this because the lights i have are the $10...

I have had a nice craftsman creeper for about 20 years. Never use it. I always throw down a slab of cardboard. Much easier to slide around on or stay put if you are wrenching i find. The creeper is tough to get into spots......and a hassle to roll around on or stay put when you want to...

I picked up a small miller falls machinist vise. I believe it is a 217 model. Really clean and nice. The question i have is i am not a machinist. Are these universal or are they specific to fit a miller falls drill press, lathe or milling machine? Neat little vise. I have a friend who is a...

I have a large wood stove in my detached garage here in MN. I havent used it. It was here when i bought the house some 15+ years ago. My garage is larger and i thought it would be nice to have heat out there in the winter months. I use the garage as a shop and not a traditional garage. The...
