    Garage door won’t close using remote

    Linear brand closers with belt drive. The door reverses at various spots during the closing process, but it will close if I hold down the main button. I was on the verge of firing off the parts cannon last night and replacing the safety sensors. But today I played with the door for a while and...

    NAPA Expo - 10mm socket bonanza

    Anyone else here able to attend the NAPA Expo? A couple of vendors were giving away 10mm sockets as they know these tend to sprout legs.

    Klein and Sons nut drivers

    Rather old set of Klein nut drivers. These are hollow shafts and must have seen light use (except for one which saw some abuse - see pictures) as the printed logo is still visible on several of the handles. $40 + 9.50 for shipping or free pickup in the Atlanta area.

    Bryant Nylon Safety Devices

    Anyone familiar with these? I found this set in my step Dads shed and would love to know what they are for. I googled but failed to find anything other than replacement cord ends. My step Dad was in the electrical industry much of his life. He probably worked as an electrician at some point...

    Klein and Sons nut drivers

    I found a set of Klein nut drivers while clearing out my step dads shed for my mom. I know the new ones have Klein embossed on the handle. Anyone know when the ones with Klein and Sons printed on the handle were last made?

    Makes me think of a faucet stem puller

    But I don’t think it is. What do you think? It belonged to either my grandfather the farmer/rancher or my step Dad who was an electrician by trade and hobby tractor restorer for fun.

    Anyone have a cutting torch?

    Based on the propane tank storage conversation, I am curious about the safe storage of a cutting torch tank. I don't have one in my house now but my previous two houses had driveunder garages where gas cans and many other flammables were stored.

    What is it - electrical tool

    This belonged to my step Dad who recently passed and I am unsure what it is. Other than the sticker, there are no markings. No switch. There is the green light bulb shown in the pictures. Think it is a continuity tester? It does not do anything when I connect the leads together though the...

    Intermittent garage door closing issue

    Door will reverse while closing, but not while opening. Sometimes it takes 4 attempts before it will close. Other times, it closes fine. It doesn't appear to be due to sunlight/shadows as it will occur in both bright light and darkness. Any ideas what could cause this or the best solution...

    American Standard Cadet 3 flapper seal

    Anyone know where to get these? I have 4 of the Cadet 3 toilets and used to be able to just buy the seals but know I can only find the complete flapper (red Fluidmaster model 540). I called American Standard earlier this week but after 25 mins on hold, I had to take a work call and they...

    What is it - Allen wrench like sockets

    Just when you think you have seen it all, I found these in the set I got from my grandfather. He passed in 1989 and was a farmer/rancher if that helps any. Like most of his tools, engraved with his initials JHG Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    PVC pipe air system

    Yes, I know better know, but didn’t at the time. Anyway, mine failed recently which is good as I have been meaning to replace it for the last year. No big explosion sending shrapnel everywhere thankfully. This was installed about nine years ago and was in the attic of my shop.

    Gutter draining onto roof

    I just had a couple of sections of gutter replaced and the gutter people drained two sections onto the roof. I read that is is frowned upon as it will prematurely wear the shingles. So they came back out and put small downspouts in but didn’t block the opening of the gutter. Short of...

    Curb find of the day - brush mower

    Thought I would share my curb find today. Clean oil and air filter. No cutting line, fuel tank is empty and it won’t run but the price was right. I was able to get it started on ether so it appears the carb is not surprisingly clogged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Found tool on side of the road - what now?

    Found - one Craftsman 15mm socket, 1/2” drive. In great shape. No rust or road rash. That’s the good news. The part keeping me up at night is what to do with it? I am tempted to buy all the rest so that I have a complete set. That would appease my OCD but would cost more than just buying the...

    NEW Bosch BLAZE Laser Combo Kit: 65-ft Measurer GLM20 + Cross Line Level GLL2CP

    Brand new in the sealed box. I bought 3 of these, one for myself and two for Christmas gift but only ended up giving away one of them. Return policy has expired and I am ready to get this out of my shop. I bought this kit for the level and square but have been pleasantly surprised by how much...
