    Am I the only one with 100 tape measures and never have one handy?

    I think I have 9 just in my 20x24 shop. I had a few, then decided to buy a few more when Ace had a sale on them for $2 or $3. After I picked them up, there was an issue. Unsure what happened but my order got duplicated. Initially I was going to cancel the second set, but now I rarely have...

    Multiple Spares?

    Having attached and detached garages gives me the excuse to have two sets. Oh, plus the tools in the old Jeep and a set in the daily driver. Then my nephew graduated from college and wanted a set of tools giving me an excuse to upgrade a couple of more things…. i don’t think it is never going to...

    What kind of tools have you found in the road??

    Introducing the tool for collecting tools from the side of the road without getting out of the car. Yes, it needs a shorter name. So I built this a couple of months ago after spotting some tools on the side of the interstate. Traffic was barely moving but I still wasn’t comfortable getting out...

    How many die grinders are you up to?

    Only two; I generally use electric grinders. I only have 2 because I had to buy another when a wheel bearing went out on a road trip and welded itself to the front axle spindle. The folks at autozone didn’t bat an eye at me throwing sparks in their parking lot (thankfully).

    Running dc power from battery to trailer hitch portal winch.

    Seems like a nightmare to pack up an entire garage. When is the last time you moved (your entire tools & garage) ?

    If you have a roller cabinet with a top box, do not send it down the truck ramp. I didn‘t want to wait for help with my first move and went flying down the ramp. I thought it might be ok until we hit the end of the ramp. Box went over and launched me with it. I was bruised and cut, box was...

    I spun the spring retainer off and took a pic. I ordered the one from NAPA and will take this with me to test the new one in the store.

    Add quick connect to air hammer

    There is an IR for $58 that looks pretty nice. Not too much more than just the quick connect and no worries with fitment.
