I'm looking for one piece(no seperate driver) hex drive sockets to install these concrete anchors. They have to be deep or mids to go completely over the hex so as to not deform the internal threads. 3/8 and 1/2 BTW. The anchors are installed by drilling a hole in the concrete then...

Never had a dealer or been around them. How does their quality compare to SO, Mac, Matco, etc? Customer service, warranty, whatnot? Just curious, I always assumed they were just a packaging company. Just recently became aware they're an actual manufacturer.

Never totally finished my bench. Needs backsplash/pegboard so, 1 1/2" X 3/4" 14 GA rect tubing Hillbilly surface plate At this point we skip ahead, don't know what happened to the pics. You need to believe that the framework got welded together, powdercoated red, then mounted to the...

Need to move my 1350 Macsimizer five blocks, full of tools, smaller top box(3/4 area of bottom). Have a forklift. Thinking of making a pallet type structure so don't bend the lower edges and just carrying it down the street. Discuss, pointers, tips? Oh and BTW this needs to happen tomorrow...

I have an approx 32x32 wood framed building with a loft. It currently has six posts that support the loft and the roof. Would like to raise the ceiling height and eliminate the posts. So two I-beams running gable end to gable end. The sidewalls are not tall enough to run three the other...

Motorcycle jack Simple handy thing... I use this scissor jack out of my old work Caravan on my bike lift. Bolted a chunk of wood on top for a no-mar surface. It's normally all good, but my old GSXR's oil pan isn't flat and hangs below the framerails. Couple junks of scrap Delrin...

The motor in my 6.5 hp Shop Vac(big yellow one) just burned up. Called the place I got it from, they're no help. Where's the best place to get a replacement motor? TIA

I build one, maybe two engines a year. Wouldn't care if I didn't do that many so am reluctant to buy a better stand. Mines ok for V8s, but right now I'm doing a Ford inline three that's so top heavy it's scary to rotate. Been using a prybar for added leverage; Made it better tonight...

Had to reload my computer and lost all of my fabrication pics so this actually starts towards the end. The frame is 1 1/2" 12 ga square tubing. The tabs are from A&A. Clamped a 6" channel to the forks of my forklift and clamped the tubing to the channel to fixture it. Had it powdercoated...

eBaying for a specialty wrench set that I'll seldom use came accross a Kal Tools set. Not familiar with them at all. Comparitive quality-wise w/say Snap-On at the top, Craftsman at the bottom of the useable range where do they fall? TIA

Did this a while back.... When I first got my 550 was all jacked up about building a fresh engine. Don't like assembling engines on the bench so made this so I could use my engine stand; The main plate is a piece of 11 ga. I had broke for a project that was a non-starter. The tabs...

Did this a couple months ago. Don't really like working on race cars anymore, but my plumber races and I owed him for a rental remodel. 03(?) Kraftcar Was built to be 4-bar LR, swing arm RR. He wanted it switched to an simple little 2-link deal we do. Pissed me off he put the left side...

See what you all think of this; Buddy gave me a belt sander. Needed a stand, didn't want to spend any money, wanted a vintage look. It occurred to me that since our shop was in the flood of 08' had plenty of material that wouldn't have to fake patina. This is what I came up with; The...

I'm searching for info on a wall coating system. Must be spelling it terribly wrong; ephous, effous, even tried eface. What it is is a system that can go over existing construction or new. They put ties in the wall. Put on 1 1/2"-2" of foam and then cover it with 1/4" or so of colored...

Anyone shipped an IKEA butcherblock countertop? The two nearest stores are both five hours from me. By the website it looks like they'd get at least $200 to ship one, but the way I read it that's just an estimate. Just wondering if anyone has done it.
