    32 x 28 garage truss options for lift and attic space

    I had a builder so that can make this variable but it was only 400 more to do stick for me and then just added a loft. If you have a builder it never hurts to ask.

    GearWrench digital torque wrench repair?

    Wait, EEPROM wouldn't hold a value. Id crack that baby open and look for a battery. Pull it and test. If it holds there is a capacitor you would need to find and discharge as well.

    Flex Head ratcheting wrench sets??

    I just paid 200 for a master SAE and Metric set of offset/reversible Gearwrenches. If you dont want the offset/reversible its even cheaper. I own straight, flex and offset/reversible and find the offset/reversible the most useful so I got an extra master set. I'd suggest getting master sets...

    Workwear Swiftwick Socks

    Made in Chattanooga TN, Warehoused and business run from Nashville TN. Incredible socks, super strong and endless fit options. While athletes are the target buyers, I'll personally never buy a different sock. My feet stay dry in the summer and with the thicker wool socks, warm and dry in the...

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    Anyone know if HF sells just the spray can tray attachment (the one on the lower left) for these carts? I cant seem to find it online. I don't want the magnetic one, I'd like the one that comes with the cart.

    Recommendations for a tool bag and tool cart.

    This is my car kit/yard roll. I bought and used about 5 different rolls and 2 bags before finding this thing and I was sold on it. While I don't want to discourage anyone from getting his bag (US made by a vet) if you really don't want to bite on the price, BucketBoss just released this. Build...

    Are air tools obsolete?

    As a mechanic, the only reason I'm getting a compressor is for air hammer, plasma cutter and die grinders. I've got far with only battery. I wouldn't say air is obsolete but I don't think its a cornerstone anymore. If anyone knows of a good electric (corded or batt) air hammer/die grinder...

    11mm the most useless socket in the world?

    Truth. I had to order a deep/shallow 3/8th just to keep me from having anxiety every time I looked in my box. It will forever stay in that slot, never to move.

    11mm the most useless socket in the world?

    Jeep 4.0 valve cover and a few others on every TJ/XJ. I mostly use Metric so perhaps a 7/16ths fits but a 11mm fits better.

    What brand is this tool cart?

    So can anyone note a reason quality wise to go with a import Cornwell/Bluepoint/Mac vs a HF version of this? If I could find a KR488, I'd get that but I'm trying to figure out if spending the money on a brand name import has any benefits as I don't care about drawers, locking tops or warranty...
