A magnet's force is dependent on the thickness of the steel it is stuck on. A magnet that holds 50 lbs when stuck to a heavy piece of steel isn't going to do the same stuck to 26 gauge steel, especially if there is foam in between.

I have learned that I can ignore virtually every video claiming to reveal a truth "they don't want you to know" because it will be sensational ********. The same goes for any video with the creator making a stupid looking shocked face and pointing at something on the video's splash page...

I don't think it necessarily contributes, but it does provide concealment that termites can work behind unnoticed. In the case of the photo, taken of the subfloor of an air-conditioned beach house on the Gulf, the theory is that humidity penetrated here and there through the occasional crack in...

This photo might make you happy you didn't do spray foam. There was no termite damage two years earlier when the foam was applied...

I thought epoxy had to be coated for UV protection and the only reason epoxy is OK for chassis paint is because the body of the vehicle somewhat protects it from UV. Without UV protection epoxy primers tend to turn chalky. Research the specific product you intend to use and ensure it's...

Mike, I think the most likely source of any flex is the blackwater tank itself, especially if it is anywhere near full and you hit the brakes. All the liquid tries to keep on moving and the force against the side of the tank is significant enough to flex the tank. The fact that the floor is...

Even more holy ****... It sold for $414. I would have bought it for more than that just so that people on Garage Journal could tell me how much I ****. I just never dreamed it would...

It's a logical opinion with a described basis from a man with years of experience working on vehicles That's way more valuable than some random guy's opinion based on how he "feels".

My Jet drill press uses the same part. I would assume you could order a replacement as a spare part from Jet, Grizzly, or some other tool seller. Edit to add: In a 10-24 thread? That is way smaller than the handle on my drill press, so ordering a spare in that size is unlikely unless you can...

This doesn't necessarily look like a machine shop repair to me. Wouldn't it be possible to drill out the stubs of the broken axle and replace it with a shoulder bolt of the appropriate size? If a bolt won't work, you could press a new axle into the cast iron body of the assembly?

My thought as well.

If I was producing parts in quantity I would be watching this eBay auction But I'm not, so it is too rich for my budget. 😢

I was intrigued by the geometric die head and fell into a Google rabbit hole. Mr. Pete did a video about these here: I ended up on ebay pricing them. No surprise that would happen to someone on Garage Journal.

Many tool truck drivers fail because they mistakenly believe they are only in the tool business when they are also in the money lending business. Being in the money lending business doesn't make anyone a bad guy. Tool truck owners must properly manage the money lending part of their business...

I think you will need to post a few pictures in order to get valid responses.

Link fixed.

Vevor recently opened a brick and mortar store in Houston...

It's a little outside the box, but would an exterior hurricane shutter give you the clearance you need overhead?

That is cool. You really stuck gold on that purchase.

I like no skip sets for three reasons: 1. It is nice to be able to glance into my tool box and tell if a tool is missing. 2. I can grab a set of sockets or wrenches and carry them to the work without having to go back and fetch SAE equivalents for skipped sizes from my box. 3. I often work...
