Well a maintainer really I guess. I have an old Asplundh Whisper Chipper that uses a 25 series battery. I have purchased an Optima Red Top to replace the battery that had worn out. This chipper does not get a lot of use and the previous battery often would need to be charged before we could...

I purchased one of these and have it in a drawer, the depth of the drawer keeps me from using it for all of the bits. I like it and find it keeps my bits orderly and I know if I am missing one quickly. It can be found here. I came across this one today in a new product announcement, mounting...

I made a mistake and let the drip pan under my Weber overflow, what a mess, the worst part is it leaked from the grill housing onto the concrete like grill drip pads and even off that. Before you guys get going how did I manage to let this happen you should know it happened during one of the...

I have a pair of these running the heat A/C systems at one of my shops. I came in this morning and found the display was blank, inserted new batteries and still dead. Pulled the other one off its mount and it worked. So, I need a replacement, the system is forced gas warm air heat and central...

I saw this in an APP on my iPad, Seems like it might be handy, but might also be annoying if one were having to shift their hand around to reach a difficult fastener.

I've been searching to no avail, does anybody know of a source for this? I'm looking for handles and possibly the hinge fronts.

I've been looking for some lights to improve the lighting on my workbench top. I have overhead cabinets and near the backsplash area it gets a little dark. I came across these on an iPad app while looking at remodeling information, Pro Series. The longer bar in that series is 16 3/4 overall...

I have a few of these, the labels are worn off, and of course the "keep this" paperwork is just a memory. The socket retainer is no longer working and the end of the shaft is so worn the collar falls off. So I'm trying to order parts, but without the model number I'm having a tough time. It is...

I have four T8 fixtures above my L shaped workbench that are hardwired in and switch by the wall switch. I would like to add 2 more fixtures to the existing circuit, they won't need to be on all the time, so having a pull chain switch would be convenient. I have searched and found many fixtures...

He's not, or wasn't as I remember, but my dad gave me a square yesterday that was his fathers. He unfortunately tried to clean it up some but it is still pretty neat. I see that L H Kenyon is stamped into the wood in three places, not our family name. A quick Google search revealed nothing, is...

Well almost, some things left to finish up but the heavy work is finished. I took out kitchen cabinets I had along one wall and replaced them with two more Lista cabinets and three Tennsco 24 x 36 x 78 high lockable storage cabinets. I now have 20' of 1 3/4 maple butcher block top work area...

I have a corner at the end of a workbench that I want to make some pull out trays that will hold things like jack-stands, a trans jack, and some other bulky items. The trays will be 24" wide and 28" deep, I plan to use 3/4 plywood as the bottom and 1 x 3 or similar for the sides. Rockler has...

My garage floor has a slight slope towards the doors, no doubt to allow water to drain out. I am going to be purchasing some additional Lista cabinets soon and will have to deal with the slope. Any suggestions from those who have dealt with this issue before on what would be the best way to...

I'm working on figuring out cabinets and a top to replace some kitchen base cabinets I have along one wall. I plan to use two Lista cabinets, one 56 1/2" long, and on 47" long, bolted together. There will be a 3' gap for a stool, the front edge of the top wil meet an existing bench, but continue...

A special flyer was in this morning's paper, Lowe's has this on special at a new lower price, $199. I checked Amazon for any reviews and there are none there, anybody here have one of these and willing to provide some feedback? Here is a link to the unit...

A new vendor has approached us looking to see if we are interested in their products. I do not service A/C systems at my shops, but could see use for some of their other products. The rep came by today and dropped off some samples of their drop lights. The three bulb version of this, Details...

Bolster's P B Swiss addition to the Hot Deal index caused me to start looking at what they have to offer. They look like a real quality tool, the idea of how the tips of the drivers are shaped make a lot of sense. The bit sets seem like they are really expensive compared to what I'm used to...

Does anyone have a record of their tool inventory? How did you do this, include photos, prices, part numbers? With my ever growing collection I'm starting to get concerned and wonder if I should have some records to prove what I had should something terrible happen. I started putting together a...

I was at a trade show last week and stopped to talk to the people at a booth with fluorescent lighting. They were featuring T5 fixtures, saying this was the newest best thing available. Since I'm still searching to find the "right" fixtures for my garage I asked them some questions. They had...
