I spent the afternoon cutting steel roofing panels today fort our hay barn walls. I use a circular saw with a Lenox diamond grit blade. I got the blade at Lowes. Reasonably priced, lasts a long time, easy to get a straight cut, and gives a good cut finish. Not scary at all. Give it try. Geoff

I have two of them. I have used them to shoot thousands of 3/16" aluminum rivets. I bought the first one and liked it. I then bought the extended nose piece to get into hard to reach areas. It works, so i bought the second rivet gun, and keep one with the short nose, and the other with the...

Jmonnty, thank you for asking. I have not been able to install the fans yet, I just have not had time to get the outlets installed. I did start a regimen of spaying with pyrethrin spray. I spray every other day. I hope it is not placebo, but it seems(?) to be helping - especially noticeable...

This is an awesome group. Thank you all for the great suggestions. I have chrysanthemum based pyrethrin spray on its way. My wife likes that it is natural based, we will see how it compares to the fly spray we currently use. Geoff

MFortie, We are a family of trail riders also, but the kids do a little bit of friendly competitive cattle sorting. This morning as I was driving to work, a neighbor was pulling out with a trailer, headed to Blenheim. We have gone to watch competitions there. The training and horsemanship is...

I have a Bryant 9459FR 14-50R in my garage for the wife's Tesla. The Bryant receptacle is made in the USA, and seems to be very well made. I got it from Grainger. A few dollars more than the local box store part, but it does seem to be quality. Geoff

THANK YOU! to all that responded. I have Golden Malrin on order. I will pick up some fans. I have also checked out the do your own pest control. I am looking forward to trying your suggestions, and see what works for my situation. Greatly appreciated. MFortie, any chance you will be at the...

Guys, It seems that some of us on GJ have barns with animals. I am asking for advice on fly control for my eight horse-stall barn. We muck twice a day, morning, and night. The manure goes into a dumpster with a closing lid. We keep the stalls as clean and dry as we can. Rubber horse mats with...

I trip over caulk guns looking for a tape measure (until I really need a caulk gun, then they disappear.) I tried to solve the tape measure issue by buying 24 35 foot bright yellow tape measures. I put them in all the locations I typically need them... It is better, but not perfect. When I am...

Do a search on Kett saw blades. We used these in aerospace in the 80's and 90's.

Go to yardstore.com search for "Texas Hand Squeezes" Is this the tool you are looking for?G G

I have a Ryobi Air 18 volt air compressor that I converted to a Milwaukee M18, I also use my M18 batteries in my Ryobi hot glue gun. I got the adapters off Amazon. Both tools work great.

I bought the three from Fluxion on ebay today. Lookin forward to trying them out.

Like some GJ guys, I could not just accept that the fiber backing pad was the best I could do. I ordered another 2" rotoloc pad for the 2438 sander. I unthreaded the mandrel, The stud that threads into the pad is M6 X 1.0 I needed it to be 1/4" - 10 to fit my 3" pads. I cut the M6 x 1.0...

This picture shows left hand and right hand bent tools

Not really an answer to "upgrading" but Craftsman are my go to wrenches for modifying. You can bend and twist them like taffy to get into almost impossible locations. Like so many here on GJ, "Why would you get rid of good tools?"

I got tired of waiting and made my own. Mine is based on the Ryobi instead of the Rigid. I used a battery adapter from a company named Surebonder. I bought it on Amazon. The Compressor works really well, and has been a good tool. Being able to use a Milwaukee 9.0 battery has been a big plus.

I needed a solution to be concrete dust compliant when rotary hammer drilling holes in concrete. The kicker for me was to be able to do it cordless – as I don’t have power most of the places I use my rotary impact – that’s why I got the M-18 cordless SDS-Max drill. It does a really good job...

I ran a bunch of 3" roloc sanding discs on the 2" mandrel. It does work, but does not support the 3" disk as well as I would like - too much flex of the sanding disc. I tried to buy a 3" mandrel, but could not find one. So, I bought another 2" mandrel, and modified it to 3". I used a stiff...

I do a lot of work away from a power source. I have a couple of quality right angle die grinders, but without (lots of)air, they can't help me when I am way from my shop. The M12 cut off has decent power, does a good job when using very thin cut off wheels, allows you to reverse cutting...
