    Tire Plug kits

    Just get a kit with metal handles for the puncture cleanout and plug tools. You'll eventually put a hole through your hand using ones with plastic handles.

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I love the older Craftsman with the raised side panel. I got mine in the mid 90's and still use them to this day. I keep them in a roll and take them with me when I'm going to be off grid for awhile. The Milwaukees are longer and thinner, but the box end is taller and can be seen in the...

    Multiple Spares?

    I find myself too easily convinced to purchase/upgrade more as well. Next thing I know, I'm looking for a new tool box to fit the new tools, then I'm looking to fill half full drawers, and the cycle continues.

    Show your new tool arrivals

    I thought I lost my tire repair kit when moving everything from the garage to the new shop, so I ordered a new one. Hours later I found the older kit. Here's the new kit that just arrived, alongside the older kit on the left.

    Road Trip Jack Recommendations?

    A small 2-ton floor trolley jack has worked great for me. They are small enough to get under the suspension components of most vehicles, and I’m lifting a max of 1 ton to get a wheel off the ground to change or repair it. 2 ton trolley jack This cheap tire patch kit has saved my ****! It...

    Anyone see this on reddit?

    It ***** when you forget where you place things. I searched the garage and shop for a missing tire repair kit with no success, and it bothered me to no end not having it immediately available. I purchased one online yesterday afternoon to replace the one I apparently lost, and yesterday...

    Multiple Spares?

    A post in another thread got me thinking about something that I hadn't really thought of, and that's having multiple versions or spares of the same tool. I have tools that I started with 25+ years ago when I first began turning wrenches on my own vehicles, combined with newer versions of the...

    Tools to have in order to avoid abusing other tools

    I have a nice (to me) set of tools, and a not as nice (to me) set of tools that mirrors the nicer set. When I get angry at something, I usually grab something from the lesser set of tools and abuse the snot out of it. ***EDIT*** I did not intentionally purchase a nicer set of tools for this...

    Opinions on Milwaukee 12 volt cordless tools?

    I prefer the M12 Fuel series tools over just about anything. You can beat the snot out of them and they just keep going.

    In my defense I was left unsupervised at Home Depot.

    I wasn't aware of that, that's an interesting tidbit of information. My wife feeds 5 orange strays, and I believe 4 of them, are females.

    Home Depot grumble

    I had something similar with a corded Milwaukee Orbital Sawzall. I ordered one to be shipped to my house, then cancelled the order within 5 minutes because of delivery issues, and drove to the nearest Home Depot and purchased one in person. My online transaction showed cancelled, my credit...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT 25x30 New Shop Build

    I forgot my updates. Of the three tasks that I wanted to complete next, I've only managed to accomplish two of them: install a suitable wall mount fan, and install an overhead (somewhat) light above my work bench. I picked up a 30" wall mount fan from the orange box store, and mounted the fan...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT 25x30 New Shop Build

    My wife likes to feed stray cats, and they would sometimes stay in the attached garage after she left for work, unbeknownst to her and I. Those paw prints were initially a very unwelcome sight, but shortly after the paw prints appeared, the cats started dropping off snakes and unwelcome guests...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    "Broke-In" a shop chair today. Apparently $5 chairs dont handle 6'-7" 300lbs guys very well. My wife caught a picture before I could protest, haha.

    Which M18 impact wrench for on-road tire changes?

    M18 Mid Torque Impact. I've done quite a few wheel removal/installation with it.
