When does that ever come up? I have been looking at this set for a while and it never seems to have such a large discount.

I have been looking online as well as in the store by me and can not find these breaker bars for anywhere close to 5 or even 10 dollars. Are there any coupons I should know about or is it just hit or miss when you go to the store? Multiple trips to the store alone will put the price up there...

I have the Bendpak and am very pleased. And I echo darkk's comments about their customer service. I do not find the number of safety stops to be a problem.

I have the Motive and I like it. Since I am always concerned about the possibility of device failure, and since brake fluid and a car's finish do not mix, I put the pump unit inside a trash bag, set it in a box for stability, and use it that way. It has never leaked on me, but the first time I...

Here is one of the type that Kevin showed. I am sure there are better or more robust units but this came up after doing a quick search. http://cgi.ebay.com/Garage-Door-Bottom-Retainer-and-bottom-Seal-FREE-S-H_W0QQitemZ260692535847QQcategoryZ115699QQcmdZViewItem

I am picking up a Metabo W8-115 4 1/2" grinder, but was wondering about Metabo's wheels. Nobody seems to mention them, but their grinders get rave reviews. It may be too much to ask of a manufacturer to be good at all things, but I would figure they would source and rebrand abrasives if it...

I have a similar, but older, model and they are great machines. They are not designed to have a top cover. My column, as yours, is a bit rusted (actually mine is worse). I am planning on taking an angle grinder with a wire wheel to it, but am not sure how well that will work if there will be...

I was just looking at one from HF and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it.http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=3674 It is for home use only, and the price is right. But it is HF so I wonder if it is any good?

You are only talking 40 ' of pipe and some fittings. Though you may not need it now (or perhaps even in the future), it is better IMHO to go with the 3/4". " It is better to have and not need, than to need and not have". It should not be much of a price difference.

Quick update. I tried to clean up, add flux and re-sweat the pipe but was unsuccessful. I wound up cutting out the leaking joint and sweat new fittings. Thankfully I had purchased a heat-resistant pad to protect the walls. There was no way to Protect them from the heat otherwise. The pad...

I've been using the Irwin (which I found through an earlier thread on this board) and have been very pleased. See review here: http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-tools/vise-grip/self-adjusting-wire-stripper.htm

I guess it I will try the resolder with the line in place. I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks for the suggestions.

Well, I finished ( or so I thought) sweating all the pipe for my air compressor. Turned it on for the first time, and discovered a leak in one of the elbows. It is an audible leak, so not something I can live with. Now, I know the proper way to fix it is to take it all down and re-sweat the...

I can't seem to find mine, and I have a bunch of stuff to solder. Borrowed my father-in-law's old Weller 8100, which is 100W. Wanted to see if it would work so I tried it out. Took forever to heat, and was unable to heat up a 10 gauge wire enough to melt solder. I need to solder 18 thru 12...

You are best off either renting a mixer or having a truck deliver it to the site. Personally, I would choose the truck. A quick look onhttp://www.concretenetwork.com/concrete/howmuch/calculator.htm approx 1 cubic yard of concrete, which amounts to 42 80lb bags!! Cement truck delivery may pay...

Here is a link to a thread that, while a couple of years old, gives a lot of information on the subject. Hopefully it will answer some questions- I know it did for me. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7426&highlight=flourescent+lights Rocco's input was particularly valuable.

I am in the market for a sawzall and was doing some research into the different options. First of all I am not a contractor and will not be using this daily. Just your basic DIY guy who would rather buy a tool like this once in a lifetime. I am set on buying Milwaukee (though I have read good...

I would look for them in the general garage forum, but either way, I agree with Charles. Welcome to the forum. Why not take some time out and peruse the forums before making your first post a suggestion (good one or not)? If you are interested in lifts, do a search and you will find plenty of...

I have been in the market for a crimper and have been poring through all the threads here about the advantages and disadvantages of various styles (ratcheting vs. non, plier-type, $ vs. $$$$, etc.) and was siding towards the tool-aid model. I did a search on the ancor brand and came up with...

There is a very successful dairy store/market in the NY, CT area called Stew Leonards. They truly understand the importance of customer service. I cut and pasted this excerpt from their web site.... The success of this family-owned business and their legion of loyal shoppers is largely due to...
