I'd just like to add: Took my daughters car down yesterday to get her studded tires put on. '92 Subaru, to dismount street tires, mount studs, and balance: $88. The best part? They fully expect me to go back in the spring and pay them again! I'll be getting the manual tire changer AND the...

I buy all my thrones at Harbor Freight.

My solids flow just fine through my '79 mobile home special...

I'm interested in this also, I'm planning on getting the HF changer and balancer... I'm a seriously cheap *******!:thumbup:

You betcha! I will not use any meter other than a Fluke. I've had the store brand ones, Greenlee's, and other brands, but for a digital meter nothing beats a Fluke. What does beat a Fluke is my old Simpson 260 series analog meter! I love my Simpson!

For my small stuff: I took some narrow bar stock, 1/8" x 1 1/2", bent it around in wide "U" shapes to fit the drawers, that made small tool separation easy. I did the same thing for my sockets, but bent the "U" narrow enough at the beginning to just fit the smallest socket in the series, then...

Throw that Horrible Fright meter away and pony up for a Fluke T-600. Using a cheap meter is like playing Russian roulette: you'll get away with it for a while...

It's a basic multimeter, not the fancy ones like my 87E-3 (which is now outdated). Now, that said, I use a T-1000 Fluke day in and day out, my big multimeter never leaves the toolbox except once in a great while if I'm doing electronics. The 87E-3 was over $400 when I got it, the T-1000...

You mean "pitch", the stuff that burns realllll good. Yeah, if you have a chimney that hasn't been cleaned for a while, pitch will do the job for you... your neighbors will also get to go outside and watch the jet flames shooting from your chimney.:wtf: Like I said before, my mom could burn a...

...I should add this then I promise to quit: my house (until this year) was a 2200 sq. ft. ranch style with a converted double car garage. The woodstove I have is an Avalon with a firebox that is only 20" wide. This is considered a small stove, the whole thing is about the size of a Earth...

You can burn out any wood stove with regular wood, my Mom did it regularly when I was a kid. I can remember coming home and seeing our stove actually SPLIT on the seams because she had a roaring fire going in there, and we only burned split, seasoned wood in it... I remember because I was the...

I burn scrap wood and pallets, easy to collect and the price is right:thumbup: A little time spent with the chopsaw leave a nice piece of wood that is easily stacked... a couple pallets a week and I have several cords of this wood set up for winter. I haven't done it this year since we moved...

^There are several companies that sell industrial rollup screen doors, the good ones have limit switches built into the motor/roller, so all you have is basically a light switch to run it up or down. We used these in a can-plant I worked at, they hold up pretty darn good to industrial use, for...

The only ranking and pecking order that exists here is this: #1: Bull #2: Everyone else Pretty simple really. I think the "strangers" comment was towards people making moral judgments in a thread that really weren't necessary, but I could be wrong (although I doubt it).

I was kinda hoping for some of that Wonder Bread...:drool:

Some secondhand info for ya: I've worked with quite a few IBEW trained electricians, very good guys with great skills. As far as I've always heard, the IBEW is a good union to be in. As far as linemen go, that's a job that's in high demand, at least out here in the west. Talking to some guys...

... and the last. I quit, I promise:)

... a few more:

Thanks for answering that lauver, I guess I never thought of tools as "collectible" before. I have turn of the century coopering tools that I still use occasionally when building cedar rail fence... they work really well and I have them.:thumbup: --------------------------- Practiced with my...

+1 on pulling fish tape... my Kleins are made exactly the same way, I asked the Klein rep when I got them at Platt, that was his answer too.
