I'm curious if anyone has used one of these Bauer thickness planers (63445) that I keep seeing in the HF mailers. https://www.harborfreight.com/15-amp-12-12-in-portable-thickness-planer-63445.html I'd be interested in hearing what experience(s) other folks have had with them. I did search the...

Re: New House with Two Attached Garages Nice work on the MIL's vehicle! Came out great! I've never removed the carpeting from a vehicle before...how difficult is it (once the seats are out of the way)? Makes me think I ought to do that with my truck this spring...

Re: New House with Two Attached Garages Well, rest assured you are not the only one who has hung cabinets using the toolbox like that. I did the same thing last summer in my garage. Actually worked better than I hoped!

I bought a couple of the FEIT's at our Costco about a month ago to replace two decrepit fluorescent fixtures in the garage. The difference was literally like day and night. Even if they only last a couple years, I am grateful to have lights that are bright, even during the winter (unheated...

I posted one HF review last summer, and it took maybe a week or two to post. That is the only review I have done there so far, but no issues.

Everything I have is corded except for a SKIL drill. Those batteries died years ago and I haven't bothered to replace them. EDIT: I also have a Ryobi drill I found at the thrift store last year...batteries were still good! Never been all that interested in cordless...I don't use them enough to...

Thank you! I am slowly learning how the Craftsman logo changed over the years...this is quite helpful.

Picked up this Craftsman toolbox at the thrift store today. Not in bad condition, actually. Just needs some cleaning up. Not sure what the extra blue-colored deal is on the lid, but hopefully it comes off easily. Can anyone tell me how old it is? Thanks!

I have the same clock in my garage. Not sure how old it is, though. Mine seems to work fine.

I haven't used it much, but the variable speed one I have from HF has done the job for me. For the amount I use such a thing, this suits me just fine.

I'd like a shot at one of those sets. Thanks for the opportunity!

Hmmmm...had to think on this one a bit. Here goes (no particular order): - chop saw - woodworking vise - a piece of rail to use as an anvil - new matched sets of combination wrenches (SAE and metric) - spare air tank - various cabinets to hang on the walls for storage (though half of them I...

I use the exact same thing and it is currently holding 5 bikes just fine. Easy to move, too!

These both seem to work just fine. I've used the Chrome extension for several weeks now with no issues. Thanks for sharing!

Just wanted to share my collection of Workmates. The newest one I received for Christmas about 10 - 15 years ago, the 200 I bought at a garage sale for $10 at about the same time, and the 300 I bought at the ReStore for $10 about a year or two ago.

Finally got some pics of the Delta drill press and stand that I modified. The base is a metal cabinet that I installed casters on for mobility. I may have to redo the casters, but it seems to move just fine. The cabinet has a 3/4" piece of plywood bolted to the top, and the press is bolted...

Found this JC Penney toolbox at a thrift store a few years ago for $10. It is full of miscellaneous stuff I need to go through still. Not sure how old it is, or even if it's that high a quality, but it will come in handy for something, I imagine. I just have to figure out what...:dunno: It...

I'll also throw some pics up here of the 4.5" vise I inherited from my wife's grandfather. There are no identifying marks that I have found on it, so I really have no clue what brand or model it is. I have mounted it onto an HF grinder stand, which works well enough for me for as much as I use...

Here is my Craftsman woodworking vise I just picked up at the Habitat ReStore yesterday. Haven't even taken the price tag off yet, I guess... Nothing too fancy, but it is something I have been looking for. It's got the model number 391-5195, which I understand means it was made in Japan for...

Nothing too exciting here, but I use a beatup office chair for a rolling seat in the garage. The arms on the chair broke, but the seat and the casters work fine, so it is easier for me to scoot around when I work on the motorcycles, riding mower, and the like.
