what's so great about it over regular 30 wt. or multiwt.? is it stickier?

I found an old 4" adjustable wrench in my box - says it is a Wizard with H and 2400 stamped after that. Other side of the handle says Forged Alloy Steel & Made in USA. not a bad feeling wrench Any info on this brand?

ok, here's one... A bolt goes thru 2 pieces of sq. tubing to hold them together. This is in a 'kit' to build something and all hardware is supplied by the manf. Only a single washer is supplied for each bolt/nut set. Each end is free to rotate. Where does the washer go? And why?

How often should supply lines to faucets, toilets, etc. be replaced? And what is a quality brand to buy?

I'm looking for a long-lasting stain for an exterior door made of clear Douglas Fir. It's a nicely made door, but gets some sun and rain exposure at the bottom (due to poor house design an me not wanting to build a new roof structure). If a stain can make it look good too then that's a...

Is there any reason not to get these? Do they work as well as regular wobble and straight extensions?

I have an interior door with painted frame and trim. I want to keep the hollow core door, but put new trim up and a new frame - all of it stained natural wood. I'm thinking I could use the painted frame as a template to cut the stained wood for mortises, etc. This is a door to a bedroom...

I thought a thread on famous garages might be fun. This one is a museum now.

A post here says that Westcraft was made by Indestro. What was the quality of Westcraft sockets? I found two of them in my SAE drawer - not sure quality matters since I hate SAE sizing but just for fun...

Daikin Heat Pump Leaking onto Floor Any ideas why my Daikin interior unit might be leaking? This happens off & on and destroyed the hardwood floors once already. I have it serviced/cleaned every 6 months but the problem keeps coming back.

magnetic - yes stand up 'stand' - yes but no crazy 4 or 666 position switches on the dang thing I just want a simple switch - you push it and it goes ON; you push it agian and it goes OFF no flashers; no colored freakin' lights, etc.

I found a few 1" long cracks in the fiberglass top or a small RV. The cracks are a bit wider than a hairline crack so will need something that can 'fill' them - but they are still less 1 mm wide. Will Superglue work for this? I don't think an epoxy will be able to get into the cracks, due to...

Tool Rolls don't provide fast access like a wall hanging setup or a drawer in a chest, but IMNSHO they are the best way to carry tools in a car. The tools are in a compact bundle and won't rattle either. I'll post the first pic (either the best or the 2nd best tool roll)...

I'm looking for info and brands of foam, etc. to use for DIY cleaning of a Daiken heat pump - 2 heads, split system. It was installed several years ago and the guys every local place sends out are not well-trained children. I guess there is a labor shortage, so I've been using my own labor...

Looking for one with 17mm & 19mm ends I see Tekton makes one - but how is the quality? Anybody compare it with SnapOn ?

Sometime in the 1960s or 1970s metric SnapOn sockets had a black ring (or two) running around the circumference. Then in 19?? they went to all chrome with the size and lettering reading correctly when the socket was sitting on the drive end. Later, in 19?? they reversed that so that if the...

Do the these really work at gripping the nut/bolt in the socket? LMK before I launch an order to duplicate a bunch of sizes I already have... Thx.
