    Recommendations for a leaf blower?

    I presently have 3 blowers around - an old Stihl BG50 gasser, a Dewalt 20V, and a corded B&D. For blowing grass trimmings (and the light fluffy type snow) I have been using the DeWalt. The gasser gets used only when I have heavy leaves that the B&D cord won't reach (those both have more power...

    KRSC46 Starter box mods

    I have been considering going with all swivel casters, how is that a PITA? I need mine to be able to move into a small parking spot on the garage wall like parallel parking - which I haven't figured out with two wheels locked up. I don't need it to travel far but precisely?

    Rousseau Tool Cabinets

    Is there a point that a drawer is so wide it loses rigidity/strength? Or do the HD/double slides make up for the wide reach?

    Rousseau Tool Cabinets

    Location dependent but also limited by the equipment possessed by, or at least available to the receiver. I don't have a trailer or a pickemup, so some merchandise transports are problematic for me unless I spring for the time & expense to rent a trailer. Something the size of a toolbox isn't...

    Toolbox Drawer Heights - Recommendations/Feedback

    Ok, YMMV I get that & can't find the actual boxes within driving distance to test sizes. I'm in search of a new, last box that's bigger than my old 27" Craftsman (like 1980s old). Looking around, I see a HD Husky brand 42" box that is overall sized right but the second drawer is specc'ed at 2"...

    Icon Snap on long nose talon pliers coming out soon?

    The WorkPro's that I received were bent badly at the tips so they were sent back for a refund. East Asian ****

    Torque Wrench Checker

    As a strictly DIY who has had one torque wrench for a LONG time, I've wondered on occasion if I needed to do something with calibration. But it always passes, I believe I would notice if mine was grossly off one way or the other, and it's not like things don't get torqued to the same point...

    Best bypass hand pruning shears?

    Last year my old (inerited from grandparents) hand shears gave up. I looked around, did a little reading and bought the ARS HP-VS8Z. I looked at that Corona, and the classic Felco's. What made up my mind was that the ARS are hard chrome plated as opposed to the Felco's which helps with a tool...

    Sump Pump Back-Up Battery

    That's a nice offer - this thread reminds me that I haven't heard the sump pump go on, even springtime, in a coupla years. Time to unload that closet, crawl down in the crawl space & check, or bring its carcass out for replacement .. thanks

    Looking for a tape measure with metric on BOTH sides of the tape - anyone know of one?

    Ah, ok, it took a while online to find a short tape (like the 25 year old one I lost) that was marked one side SAE, other side Metric. I grew up in inches, still cant' do that translation easily

    3/8 6mm impact socket ... do I need?

    Funny find this one - since I don't use an impact gun, or cordless ratchet, I am qualified to opine as I got that free, empty space that requires something to fill it. So OP, if you use one, buy one. If you don't, don't.

    Strong drawer dividers or ideas

    I've used wood slats for rough dividers - just cut a skootch longer than necessary then tap them tighter to hold in place. For less height I have used aluminum angle stock in the same way ..

    New Toolbox search-Husky Heavy Duty vs Craftsman V Series vs US General

    I've been nosing around the same general area, haven't the budget or the need for something off a tool truck, and haven't seen much of interest in the used market. Seems like I read that the Husky comes in a couple grades, a Standard and a so-called Heavy Duty at least. So I am looking...

    Got to like a TPMS tool for this, even if you don't have OCD.

    I always get them the same all around using a dial gauge in the garage "cold". The TPS system on mine sometimes shows them all to agree with the gauge, sometimes there's one odd duck (again, "cold" without a sun factor). At first the different sensor readings bothered me, but I've trained...

    Buying a used Snap-On toolbox

    The reliability of online stories aside, one wonders how Snap-On might find said box once it is sold & transported inside Joey Bagadonutz' private garage. And what legal means they have to recover it from my possession?
