I'm tired of my cheap creeper, and I'm thinking a big wheel creeper would be handy for what I work on. My garage and driveway have large expansion joints that are a pain in the *** on a standard creeper. I also end up working on my trailers in the street, which also ***** on a standard creeper...

A good friend of mine has been wanting a way to mount a spare tire and some fuel to his General. He had been looking at what was available on the market and wasn't overly excited about any of them, or their prices. I'm always looking to improve my skills, so I told him I'd do one up for him...

I haven't seen any threads recently on bottle and refill costs, so I thought I'd see what others are paying. I needed an argon purge bottle, so I picked up a 125cf bottle today. $229 for the bottle and $43 for the fill from the local shop. They said it would be $38 to fill a smaller 80cf argon...

It's Friday night and I'm in the mood to share another product review with my Garage Journal friends. Tonight's review is the TeCo 5/8", 1/2"-13, 52pc machinist clamp set # 20402PL. This will be a brief tool usage and individual product review. I purchased this set recently from Zoro for $64.81...

I enjoy reading quick tool reviews, so I've been trying to remember to post them as I come across tools that I like. A recent purchase that has stuck out to me is the Blair Rotabroach hole cutters. In short, these are excellent tools that have changed how I do things. I recently built a rolling...

I've been wanting a better way to cut tubing at home, so I finally broke down and bought a new saw. I weighed all of my options, and ultimately decided on a mitering head band saw. I love band saws because they are quiet, make clean cuts, and make a minimal mess........everything an abrasive saw...

I need to build a hitch mounted mud flap setup for an F350 with a class V hitch. The only bumper pull trailers we have utilize a 2" hitch, so we always leave the 2.5" to 2" adapter in place. What I'd like to do is make the mud flap mount out of the same material as the adapter sleeve, so we can...

Anyone have any experience with Channelock's precision screwdrivers? I'm in need of another set for a road bag, and these look nice for the money. https://www.channellock.com/product/sd-5a/ FWIW, I have a set of Whia's, so that's what my baseline for comparison would be. I just don't want to...

Has anyone used Bendtech's sheet metal program? If so, how do you like it and what do you use it for? I'm looking for an affordable, easy to use program that will allow a guy with zero CAD knowledge to be able to create parts and send a quality file to be cut at a laser/waterjet shop. This...

Gents, I need somebody to dumb this down for me........ My old garage was wired for my tig welder that had a 4 wire lead built into it. I later bought a Mig that had a 3 wire lead with a plug built in. I made an adapter chord to go from the Mig 3 wire to the 4 wire outlet. All was good. My new...

Can one of you gents with the new Gray colored 12 ton Harbor Freight press measure the diameter of the ram for me? I know the old orange ones were ~1", but I need to buy a tool that slips on the ram so I would like to confirm they didn't change it. I believe the 20T had a change is size when...

After years of frustration with stripping JIS screws on Honda carburators, I've finally broken down and purchased a set of proper JIS screwdrivers. I just picked up a new mountain bike with Shimano derailleurs that have JIS screws, so that helped push me over the edge. Based on reviews, the...

I live in AZ and I just bought a westward facing house. My last house faced East and the backyard was so miserable in the evening we never used it, so this time we insisted on facing west. The problem is, my garage now faces west......so it's miserably hot already! I'm in the process of...

I just got done putting up (9) T8 double bulb fixtures in my 3 car garage, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. All said and done, I'm into it about $335 buying everything at Home Depot. After looking at the Sam's/Costco LED'S, I just wasn't impressed. I felt like the output was really...

I just got my hair cut and got to talking to the lady about the scissors she uses. I noticed she turned a knob that adjusts the blade tension, so I asked her about them. She said she's been having problems ever since she dropped them and they need to be sharpened and tuned up. Apparently there...
