1st rule of air compressors: always buy the biggest most powerful one you can afford or are able to run in your garage. The timeline is shockingly short to go from “I just want to fill sports balls and bike tires” to “hey I have a compressor, why shouldn’t I pick up an impact/grinder/paint...

Dang I was sure it was a trim tool of some kind but you beat me to windshield.

I’ve done almost all of the above and also a slide hammer; I eventually bought one of these because all our cars now have rotors too large for 2 or 3 arm pullers (Mac is rebranded OTC which can be had for less)...

Probably got yelled at to “Search, for lovva Pete” in some forum sometime…

And in this case the power tool option is probably going to have a worse result because it’s going to vibrate and chatter like an over caffeinated chihuahua

Skate blades have two edges, used by skaters much, much better than I to pull off some amazing agility on ice. Look for a YouTube vid that’s something like “Sydney Crosby’s edges”… anyway here’s a fairly good explanation… it’s not necessarily HOW sharp (you want them sharp) but the size of the...

Welcome!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! It’s a set of mini -liars like these (too lazy to go get them at the moment):

I might have a problem…

Upon further review… maybe those are all tripod style:

5th wheel RV stabilizers… or I’ve seen similar used as such in campgrounds.

I got a pretty good deal on a Craftsman set (blow molded case and all that) so being a good GJ’r I rationalized that I might use them on our Ford-chassis motorhome. Still haven’t used them in 1.5 years or so, but I know in my heart the day will come… right? 😁

Installed 1 of 4 FlexiMounts overhead storage racks… need to snap a pic or two as evidence but after much internal debate I went with the “store bought” overhead racks and I plan to build the lower/wall shelves workbench myself to get my own made-for-purpose kind of fit. Install was pretty...

Not sure if I’d say “instead of”, but I’ve used it for driving lags into studs for TV mounts or similar things where I doubt the driver could produce sufficient ugga duggas.

Well done!

I like rolls in vehicle/portable scenarios for the anti-rattle as well as all the above reasons.

That flat zinc plated (apparently) tool in the bottom center looks a lot like some old door handle clip or similar trim removal tools from before everything on the interior car door was electric and/or molded into the panel.

Thanks to everyone who replied! I think I'll go with untreated and do the leveling feet - as someone said it does need to be level but it also needs to be sturdy since it's basically the base of a big lever on the press but I see some leveling feet that look plenty sturdy. I don't EXPECT any...

Ditto - I have a couple, softer material than OP's to not mar surfaces.
