    Machinists level.

    I have a 199, it's pretty clear to read, the bubble and lines are pretty exact. Even looking at a slight angle you can clearly see the edge of the bubble and the line. And it's surprisingly easy to calibrate.

    New trailer project

    I agree, don't remove the panel if you don't have to, the seams are sealed all around. Also if the trailer isn't sitting blocked up square and level you may not get the panel to line up. I would try some compound on a wheel first, if that doesn't work than repaint.

    Plumbing! PEX A Expansion Tool (USA Made Dewalt)

    The real money is spent stocking up on fittings, a roll of blue and red in 1/2 & 3/4. It's just another rabbit hole to get sucked down in the quest for more tools.

    Best Ratchet Straps Ever?

    Just got a bunch yesterday, have another order coming. I like to keep a bag of straps in each vehicle plus a some in each enclosed trailer. Good to have a few in the s x s and atvs plus some soft shackles, you never know.

    Best Ratchet Straps Ever?

    I agree they are disposable, but after a couple close calls with cheap ones I'll spend the extra $ for piece of mind, especially when hauling bikes.

    New trailer project

    Durabak comes with a special textured roller, you can hide alot of imperfections, especially if you do 2 coats.

    What piece of equipment to buy first?

    Honestly, 30 x 50 is not that big, I would go with a good quality two tier baker scaffold for interior work. A baker also stores well & can be handy elese where. Not shure what else you plan to do but a tractor with qa & forks is real handy, i use mine like a power wheel barrow.

    New trailer project

    I used truck bed liner in my snowmobile & utility trailer, both are holding up great. In the utility trailer I went 6"s up the wall to make it easier to wash out. I went with durabak, lots of good reviews, also did the roof of the trailers so I never have to seal the seams again...

The real fun is buying the tire supplies, weights & cores, a quick few hundred to get started, it gets fustrating if you don't have all the consumables. After your first emegency repair you'll...

    Best Ratchet Straps Ever?

    Not sure if they're really the best ever, but these ratchet straps from Powertye are really well made. I ordered 2 and a soon as I picked up the box I knew they would be good. Made in the USA and it shows, full 180 bends on the hooks, thick steel parts and nice heavy web straps. Can't wait...
