I'm down for the metric drill and tap set. My big HF set is pretty bad and buying quality taps piecemeal gets pricey fast.

There was a post here a while back about them releasing flex and other versions in the future. Any word on that? I'd like a flex head set. I have gearwrench standard, reversible, and stubby sets. They're fine until they fall apart... I've had issues with the reversible ones especially just...

Also ordered, thanks! I have two small vises, a Japan made Craftsman and a Wilton, but they're 3" I think and clearly outgunned for many automotive tasks.

This is a topic where people seem to have very mixed opinions. Some of the internet reviews I found through the Rage 2 saw mention a big drop off in quality in the last year or so, it sounds like the construction has changed. Milwaukee saw has been discontinued, but there is definitely a vocal...

Finally got my lights installed. Maxlite fixtures, James 18.5W 5000K bulbs. I have eight fixtures oriented horizontally over the two car, "daily driver side" of the garage, and then a platonic solid style ring of light around the shop side of the garage, with a total of 14 fixtures. So, 22...

Good suggestion. Unit heater wiring is back to stock.

Yes, I was powering it from the transformer of the unit heater. I assumed, apparently incorrectly, that the additional load from the temperature controller would not overload the transformer. I have ordered a replacement transformer, as well as a separate transformer to plug into the wall to...

Looks like I'm getting 120v at the transformer input but no 24v output, must be fried. I'll replace and get a separate wall transformer to power the temperature controller. Will this work okay? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004VMVDTA/ref=pd_aw_vtph_328_1_bs?ie=UTF8&refRID=15KD58N4922MV1HWQF34

I'm using it because it allows you to set a larger set point differential and avoid short cycling. Inspiration here:http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16322 I have the 24v model.

Connected NO and C terminals on the Ranco to R and W1 on the heater. I was under the impression that when the Ranco hits the set point, it closes the relay, so this would complete the circuit between R and W1. Am i misunderstanding how these things work? The 5A fuse did not blow, checked...

I'm in the home stretch of my garage redo, thought I had the heater set but alas not. It's a Beacon Morris 45k BTU gas unit heater and I'm using a Ranco 24v temperature controller for it. Heater worked with R and W1 jumped. I wired up the temp controller and it worked for about ten minutes...

Of note, the beeslighting site lists the 18W James lamp as single ended and allows orders of any quantity. Although obviously fewer lumens than the 22W lamp, this looks like a nice option to avoid rewiring the commonly available fixtures and not buy extra lamps you don't need. For model names...

One step forward, two back it feels like.

I think I'll be buying these from here and the james 22w lamps from shine retrofits, I will certainly report back. 24 fixtures in a 24x36x10 space that will be white painted plywood.

Indeed. Would this be a reasonable "easy button" choice ordered prewired for double ended operation for the James Industry lamps? http://www.shineretrofits.com/us-energy-sciences-led-t8-tube-ready-4-foot-2-lamp-strip-light-fixture-housing.html $25.70, but its surface mount and I wouldn't...

I see. Which setup is more common? I feel like this would be easier if I were in the market either one year in the past or future. It sounds like LED options will be significantly better soon, but I hate to buy a bunch of fluorescents now and toss them in a year or two. It's an annoying...

I'm looking into this option: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5106203&postcount=191

Why would you need to rewire these LED ready fixtures? I read through the spec sheets for the fixtures and the lamps, but didn't find much about the wiring.

I noticed you only have the 5000K version of the James Industry LED in your spreadsheet. Any difference compared to the 4000K version other than color temperature?

Cool build. I'm in a similar boat, dad was Union ironworker and I just finished residency last year (ER). Just bought a place with a large (for the city) garage that's pretty bare bones, and I'm super excited to get some nice flooring, walls, lighting, work/storage space, and heat in there...
