A few of my neighbors do a very poor job of shoveling and never sand the ice that remains. I think of this a lot because ... Last fall a very good friend of mine retired after 30 years as a boilermaker. In January he slipped on the ice and broke his neck. All of his retirement plans are now...

Thanks much to everyone who contributed. I'm going in on the drill this weekend and have all your responses printed out.

I have never owned a drill press but I am going to get this one up in my garage. I have used a drill press, but never worked on one. It turns on and it spins. Motor sounds good. The motor and belt drive system is 100% hairball engineering. What should I do to make this operate without a block...

I am not a collector of vises. I have a small vise in my garage which sees little use.

I was able to get it off and get it home. Thanks for your help.

Looking for something a little more gritty than the Fast Orange I now get at Wal Mart. Suggestions welcome.

Battery 1/2 inch impact is too damn heavy and I am too damn old.

Those Craftsman Whitworth tools are frickin cool.

A few Saturdays ago ...

I picked this up at a sale. Nice but the lever is missing. Is it worth trying to warranty at Ace or somewhere and if that fails where does one get a repair kit for the ratchet? Thanks in advance.

10% Dawn? Is that like the Brady Bunch episide when Peter adds the entire box of detergent to a load of laundry??! Ha.

I've been up and down the usual list in trying to find something to add to distilled water to get the tiny orifices in motorcycle carbs clean. Vinegar, dawn, detergent, lemon juice, ... never really found the magic solution. Anyone here have any suggestions? I have a medium sized cleaner--it...

What do you do if you don't mind?

I was given a set. They are near bomb proof. You could do a glancing blow with a new car and the new car would have more damage.

Trust me, the only tools he will need are a screw gun and maybe some pliers. Tell him to walk around the girls dorm asking if anybody might need some help assembling their bed or desk or etc. Important to do this INSIDE THE DORM NOT OUTSIDE as he will be Mr. Moving Company if he does. "And...

College AND a 2010 BMW 328iX??! Are you considering adopting because I can send my kid over.
