If you want to sell the box, slap a huge price on it in the attempt. That can be enough to attract interest and take less but still get something out of it. I'm talking $250-$300. If you can't sell something cheap, sell it expensive as hell for what it is. It works more often than you might...

I saw one of those lift carts for the first time buying my 5-drawer the other day, and I think I'm pregnant with little hydraulic babies, as a result. I'd still go with a Jawhorse first. I've got one, and it's kind of like that Workmate; you have to wrap your brain around it, but once you do...

Nothing wrong with a brushed motor, and it does have at least one advantage in everyday use: It's not firing off that constant squeal you get out of a brushless... Well, anything, really. Most of my stuff is brushless, but it's not deliberate. I'd go brushed just to shut the damned things up...

Yup. Once you wrap your brain around it, the thing is like lightning. It seems like a gimmick at first, but you've got to screw with one at least once to "get it". Once you do, it's pretty much a no-brainer if you can swing one financially. If someone had that, a Workmate, and their Blade...

More people should really pay attention to grip angle. If you're drilling vertical holes in metal frequently, messing with cars, or doing carpentry, a drill designed for framing with a highly angled bore axis (notably Bosch, in the past) isn't the best choice ergonomically or with ease of...

Did you see the first posts? :lol: That said, a Sawzall with a pruning blade is a damned light saber on anything it's long enough to cut. I love that setup, and it's big enough for most things most people will have to cut. Add to that the battery power if you're going cordless, the...

Oh, I'm going right behind the building to look for some disused crappy chain. This is going to happen. :lol:

You guys will probably laugh, but I've used the hell out of a Rockwell Jawhorse.

Highly abrasive dust.

I couldn't open a specific business this year due to problems everyone has faced, but I'd intended to use polished, dyed concrete for the floor. It didn't take too long to settle on that the second I saw the results; I was going to go for a "nebula" type theme down there for ambiance. It...

You'll send them back fifty times before you get what you want. Exchanging them is not a sensible option, and you won't get any custom gaps you need either; not without an unreasonably exhaustive search. Gap adjustments have been a thing since the dawn of the spark plug. Do it carefully...

Every plug I run is fine-wire iridium; and they're fairly expensive. They still need gapping to match up properly and land at whatever specification is required. As you noted, they're not as bad as copper plugs for gap inconsistency, but they still won't match as well as they should. If a few...

In many cases, yes. I've got a lot of pre-ATX stuff. Looking for a 5160 PSU PCB retention nut right now, actually. It's between everything with which I'm familiar. Bought one of those identification kits I've wanted anyway. I hope this string of testers has the right one; if not, I'm going...

I didn't say anything about copper plugs...

Not once have I ever seen a set of plugs come out of boxes gapped properly. It only takes a few minutes to do eight of them. There's no sense not getting it done.

I've see more strange hardware in computers from various eras than I care to remember, at this point. They've tried everything at one point or another. :D Honestly, my iFixit stuff doesn't stay dedicated to computers all the time. Their bits and drivers are pretty solid. I haven't so much as...

I'd have preferred blue, but I had to go black because of careful color matching that has to happen on and around it. Any other color would make it impossible. The yellow and green are pretty darn cool, as well. I constantly have to match various ages, eras, and factory blends of "computer...

As for the quality of a $200 five drawer cart from Harbor Freight... Shockingly good. They could sell these for a hell of a lot more in any other store. I'm big on buying American, European, Japanese, etc; but I needed something right now, and that just happened to be perfectly tailored for...

If someone wants to steal the old computer parts in those drawers, I'd rather them have easy access. :D It would only take about two minutes to put them back on. Four pop rivets. The rods and all just drop right back in; or use wingnuts if you want. I'm going to put a couple of bolts and...

A picture is not required. Indeed, only two rivets must be removed. One spun on me as I forgot to grab it from the other side with Vice Grips. Regardless, on each side of the case, a steel cover conceals the rods and the plastic tabs on top. On each side of those covers is one rivet holding...
