    HOA Advice

    That might not be a bad idea. If nothing else, it'll get their attention. They usually will contact you a couple times before doing any legal action (i.e. putting a lien on your house). In order for them to put a lien on your house, they would have to get their lawyer involved, which starts...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    I have the US General 5-drawer tool cart and am interested in getting drawer organizers. It sounds like the organizers are a PASS, but I don't know which (if any) will fit my drawers. Can anyone with the same tool cart please let me know if they'll work for me? I see that they offer three...

    What do I need to know about riding lawnmowers?

    One thing to keep in mind with JD... you can usually get parts for them 20+ years down the road. Not all brands can say that. They also have very good resale value if you ever plan on selling it. If choosing to shop for a JD, I would also definitely recommend shopping used first.

    What do I need to know about riding lawnmowers?

    +1 I'm a member over there, and there are many knowledgeable people who'll help guide you to the right machine. Two things to be wary about over there: 1. Not all brand-specific forums are active. The bigger brand ones (JD in particular) are very active. 2. Some people over there are very...

    What do I need to know about riding lawnmowers?

    Like most things, some people enjoy doing the work themselves. Besides, I doubt that most of us would be able to find someone to do all that for only $45.

    What do I need to know about riding lawnmowers?

    What do you define as "typical"? John Deere makes riding mowers as cheap as $1500 or as expensive as $13,700. If you're referring to the ones they sell at Home Depot and Lowe's, then those are really only good for smaller suburban yards (less than an acre) with little to no hills. What's your...

    Just got a new tool cart

    I didn't think they offered any add-ons for this cart... or are you referring to getting a separate multi-drawer/door cabinet? Do you have a link where to get those Snap-On hinges? I'll probably just wait until the struts that came with the cart fail before replacing them though. A flip-down...

    Lets see your Tool Carts/Service Carts

    Thanks. I actually meant the struts were upside-down... I didn't even notice that you had them on the opposite side to get more room where the screwdrivers go (good idea BTW). I haven't put my tools into it yet, but I'll keep that in mind if I find that I need more room there.

    Just got a new tool cart

    Primary box. Currently, I have my tools on my workbench in the basement. Screwdrivers and the like on a pegboard, while sockets still kept in the carrying case that they came in from the store. I also use a tool bag whenever I need to take my tools away from the house. I'm in the process of...

    Just got a new tool cart

    US General 5-drawer from Harbor Freight. No pictures yet, but I'm sure you've seen it... seems like quite a few members have it.

    Just got a new tool cart

    Any suggestions on what accessories to get? The drawers already have non-slip pads in them. I already picked up socket rails (wasn't sure what socket organizers to get that would both fit the drawers as well as hold my sockets - some Pittsburgh... most Craftsman), a magnetic paper towel holder...

    Lets see your Tool Carts/Service Carts

    Thank you very much for posting up the pictures and explaining the assembly. I bought the same tool cart earlier this week and finally got around to assembling it last night. Two things you mentioned really helped me out alot: 1. Removing the drawers during assembly. I did it by myself last...

    Hi all. Just joined today and figured this is a good place to start. I found this site from a comment on a YouTube video for the US General 5-drawer Tool Cart (which I picked up earlier this week). I'm no professional mechanic/carpenter/handyman, but I do tinker from time-to-time. I do most...
