    2018 Home Depot Clearance Thread

    Re: 2018 Home Depot Clearance Thead At my local store the PCA said 1 in stock @ $63. Rummaged around the clearance sections, no luck. Went to the checkout and then they looked in the "cage" where they keep the rest of the expensive thermostats, not there either! Anyone find one and, was it in...

    Opinions on a scissor lift ?

    Does that one not have arms at all? I have a Bendpack scissor, when I do exhaust I put the tallest pads that would fit on it for the car. This can easily give you a good 4-6" of space between the lift frame and the exhaust. Since the frame of the scissor is in the middle there's just some...

    Possible to raise tracks slightly without jackshaft opener?

    Yes, you want to look for a high lift track kit. Raise of the tracks and the opener should do just fine.

    Re: 2018 Home Depot Clearance Thead They had 5 left in Londonderry, NH after I took mine. I think these were leftovers from Christmas. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Re: 2018 Home Depot Clearance Thead Weber Kettle Premium in red now 50% so $99. A normal 22" Weber Kettle Premium goes for around $150. Basically the same as this except this one is red and has a better holder for the lid. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Door latch catching on wall

    The OP said it's in a finished basement, so if it's an interior door, how about switching to a double action door hinge? Would be handy to push through the door in either direction with your hands full and will auto close. Could probably put a metal plate to cover up the hole from the handle on...

    Ryobi 1/2" impact wrench w/ charger and 4.0 battery - only $99

    Thanks for this. Was debating it, but the #1 purpose of me getting a cordless impact would be to take off lug nuts. Will have to hold out for something a little torquier I guess.

    Low rise lift users chime in please (think its my only option)

    I have an MD6XP with home built ramps and have that problem. Sometimes I'm just plane off when I pull up on them and I've had half a tire-width hanging off one side. One time (early in ownership) I drove right off the ends, popped over my stop made of 1x3. Oops. Over the years I've gotten better...

    What is proper way to get car on ramps?

    Was this inside a garage on a smooth concrete slab or outside on an asphalt driveway? I've never had an issue, but I've always used them on a rough surface like a driveway.

    HF Scissor Lift w/25% off coupon?

    I don't want to hijack the thread with too much Bendpak specific content, but here's a low pad: That's lined up with the pinch weld jack point on the car. Not sure what the HF version looks like. The Bendpak also comes ones that are raised And you can also add a spacer: General I use...

    HF Scissor Lift w/25% off coupon?

    I've had my Bendpak MD-6XP for about 2 years. It had crossed my mind to get a Harbor Freight one, but I decided to go brand name. Even though the Bendpak is manufactured in China, I hope they have stricter quality control than some others. In case this helps. Here are some shots of the...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Heavy Duty Tacking Gun is a Fail. Bought two and my brother and I tried to use them for face stapling insulation. Really hard to press down. One of them would trigger only some of the time. The other one had intermittent failures. Ended up going out and getting a $20 Dewalt to replace the...

    Craftsman LED Worklight

    I have one and found that the light isn't as bright as I'd hoped and it runs out of juice faster than I'd expect. During longer sessions in the garage I find myself reaching for my old corded incandescent work light.

    Harbor Freight tool cart

    I have the black one and it's been great. Fully loaded up... sockets on the top, hand tools in the smaller drawers and my impact tools in the larger drawer. I actually don't mind that it's a bit smaller. It makes it easier to roll around and navigate through my garage space, which can get a...

    Best DIY scanner tool

    For real-time monitoring I use an Ultra-Gauge. Its form factor is like a mini-GPS unit, you stick it to the windshield and monitor stats. For my car I'm constantly monitoring engine temps and air intake temps (car is supercharged). So for me it works out pretty well because I get to use it...

    Hello from New Hampshire

    New guy here from Southern NH. Been lurking for a few months, but I should really start posting. I picked up a house 4-5 months ago with a two car garage. I needed a storage spot for my summer car (Honda S2000) and a spot to wrench on weekends, so it's been working out great. I guess the house...

    Installing a sink

    I ran into this myself already this winter :( The pipe going up to the faucet burst and left good inch of standing water in my garage a few weeks ago. Having a heated garage isn't necessary as long as you prep accordingly. What I should have done is close the ball valve going out to the garage...
