I am organizing my garage at breakneck speed. I hate doing things that way, but that's life right now. I saw the COSTCO lights and these BJ lights on a thread. I went with the BJs, because linking them isn't critical for me and it had more lumens. Authorities are still looking for the ape...

I have this Miracle Instruments Garage door opener that I bought new. This opener rides in the track, pushes the door up, and requires zero clearance. I paid a decent chunk of money for this thing, but never got around to installing it. After being told several times a traditional opener...

I rarely need a jack. Last yard sale I sold a really old jack that I'm sure would last 2 lifetimes. But just moving it would give a hernea and I rarely use a jack. When I do, it's not usually on a vehicle. I sold the jack to a guy and his adult son. He knew he was getting a great deal and I...

Things are moving a mile a minute in my garage facelift. Like Maverick said, "You don't have time to think. If you think, you're dead." that's my life right now. I rushed off and bought a Husky box at HD. Last one and the sale literally ended, as I was making the purchase. 1:30 On a...

So, after some thought, I think I'm going to simplify my garage overhaul, by simply buying a mobile workbench. With the concrete wall, I could Hiliti up some strips and hang pegboard, but my ceiling is rather low and the pegboard would be above the bench. By the time I slide the bench against...

I really need to stop hiring people to do things and just make time to do it myself. I had a nephew replace trim around our garage. A few years ago, I added some doors with an R factor, just to help keep it cool/warm as the case may be. Was really more concerned with the climate of the room...

I'm clearing out the kitchen cabinets and old craftsman box from my garage. I want to update, but don't really have to much room to work with. I currently have a 6 foot formica top, sitting on 3 mixed kitchen cabinets. The craftsman box is 27" W. It served me well, when I turned wrenches...

So, aside from deciding on a nice LED workshop light, which would lead to better pictures...I'm trying to decide what to do with these screwdrivers. The Craftsman are mostly in excellent condition. Some are stamped Vandium and some are hex shape. There is one split shank, but the other has a...

Our basement and garage is poured concrete. I have a Hilti which fires em in just fine. But sometimes I prefer the Tapcon route and would like to run, I believe, a rotary hammer drill. So my questions: 1 - rotary is the correct tool for this task? 2 - I think I prefer corded at this point...

So I'm looking to upgrade my kitchen cabinets and Craftsman box and on the look out for ideas. My family watches Big Brother and some of the girls aren't hard on the eyes, so what the heck. Well, what to my wondering eyes does appear, Gladiator cabinets. In fact, it looks like at least...

I see various priced straps. Last year, I bought straps from PepBoys, with a wider handle and they seem decent. I have a traile from Lowes and strap down 5 kayaks. Tonight, we night a 6th kayak, which will interesting since the 5 foot wide trailer holds 5 only. So the 6th kayak will have to...

I'm reposting my response to another thread here, since it was a more general topic we were discussing. I brought this up and maybe more folks should be aware. If you store batteries in the Ryobi 6-port charger, it will deplete your batteries over time. It doesn't matter if the charger is...

I'm getting an 8x12 or 8x14 shed. The company also installs the pad if I want. So they level the area and out down stone, but no woodend ties around the perimeter. That's an upcharge and doubles the price. Anyone ever do it without the wood?

I'm planning on a shed, which will open up space in my garage. My father passed a few years ago and his garage threw up in mine. Then we brought teh kayaks in there, so my side got slammed. I don't have a tiny fraction of his stuff, but there just hasn't been time to sort it out. The wife...

So I'm planning on a shed, which will open up space in my garage. The wife parks on her side, but my side has a workbench, craftsman box, with MATCO top and a wall cabinet. I also have a Kennedy top box. I have two kitchen cabinets on the floor, with a Formica workbench on top of them. I'll...

I'll take recommendations if you have them, but am as curious about who uses them and how they are working out. I wanted at least one for general home use, so a bag that could hold tools for general task: picture hanging. quick tighten of a faucet, drill holes, install new outlet covers...

I'm curious how often, if ever, you use a ratcheting screwdriver. I recently "had to have one" to replace a Snapon one that broke, and now I'm curious. I bought an older, but new in package Snapon pistol grip ratcheting screwdriver. However, I also went on a binge, picking up various...
