    Hand held post hole dioggers

    That is such a brilliant idea!! Those Toro machines with all the attachments are in the category of "for the guy who has everything". If anyone here wins a big lottery jackpot, get this kind of equipment for when you build your super garage/shop.

    Items Under $50 that Improve your Garage Experience

    One of the borescope devices that connect to a smartphone. I don't have one, but I guess I should. I agree with the idea about a maggot-frying glass. In the garage: the bigger, the better. BTW - isn't this thread actually about Fathers Day gift ideas? Or am I just the last one to figure that out?

    Which nail guns do you like for hardie siding?

    With Hardie products the nail heads can’t be set below (or into) the material. Only put the bottom of the head as low as the outside of the board/panel. Also, i think the spiral siding nails are recommended. I am not a pro at this work though.

    Lumber prices going down

    Regarding hurricane season - because of price-gouging rules the retailers will be very slow to reduce prices IMO.

    Shutter fan in man door - looking for advice

    garage is insulated. Rollup door is well insulated. I have maybe 4400 cubic feet of air volume. Would crack the rollup door on some days to pull in air. Same issue would apply whether fan was in stucco wall or the door, though.

    Shutter fan in man door - looking for advice

    I really need to cool down my attached two car garage. We are in Central Florida. The rollup door faces north. I had pretty much settled on a J&D Manufacturing Shutter fan (special thanks to forum member marctrees for prior comments about these, and where to buy them, etc.). So the walls of the...

    Someone near Baltimore, go buy this awesome B&D grinder and stand

    I would say anyone here on GJ would "need" that thing if they just saw those pictures. Besides, what is the WORST that could happen? That is one sweet old grinder.

    Trim Ideas for Fiber Cement Siding

    If I had done that install I would have wanted to put a step flange on at the bottom before I put up the Hardie board. Step flange would both protect the edge to a degree and prevent water accumulation. I guess the OP could put some kind of perforated/ventilated channel along the bottom...

    Zerk fittings - how far to tighten?

    The straight zerk fittings on my sway bar links can't be reached with my grease gun. So I got some 90* angle fittings. The 90s have more thread than the straight fittings. Like almost twice as much thread. How far should I screw these 90 zerks in? The end links are Moog brand (and were installed...

    S2K Built for my son, by my other son

    Thanks to you, driftpin for caring enough to speak up. I am so tired of the carnage on the highways. And I am grateful for the EMT and paramedic crews who have the stressful jobs of responding to these accidents. Dear OP - best wishes for you and your family.

    How to flush mount a light onto the small ribs to the metal panel?

    Closed cell foam. Sometimes shippers and sellers use it to pack items. Watertight product, but can be cut with knife, scissors, hot wire cutter, etc. Hot wire is best way to get thinner pieces.
