I know the older Columbians are quality pieces but I'm unsure of this beast.... It's a 5" and they're asking $100..... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tls/d/concord-5in-columbian-swivel-head-bench/7091234512.html Noticing the misplaced 'U' in the name and the whole vise just looks a...

I had it installed about 12 years ago and it works great! I've since painted the house a different color and I'm having a new roof installed next week. The new shingles are a charcoal color while the old ones are more red. Hence, the red color of the Gutter Helmet. I'd like to change the...

This is one of those ads that are included in my feed on FB. Seems way too good to be true, but enticing none the less. Roughly 85% off...

I'm looking for duct tape with the stickiest adhesive. I just ordered 2 rolls of Nashua 300. It arrived today so I compared it to an old roll of Nashua 300 that I've had for years. Not even close! The adhesive from the old roll sticks to anything, tightly. The new roll adhesive is like...

I tried to spin my turbo'd 4 cyl on an engine stand and bent a 4' steel bar trying to turn it. I'm about to rebuild a Ford 302 motor and can't imagine trying to turn that over! Solution: Engine rotator. You can buy one with the stand for $200 and up. Not my cup of tea! I'd rather build one...

It's actually pretty cool! At the end of summer I'm gonna start the '54 project so I need to get the roadster out of the shop (2-car garage). I plan to erect one of those $200 Costco portable garages and store the roadster in there, inside the car capsule, over the winter. Couldn't pass up...

I've been looking for a portable air tank to fill up tires on some of the dilapidated cars I pick up. Found these at a garage sale down the street. They wanted $20 for the tank and $16 for the nut & bolt containers. I gave 'em $25 for everything. Brought it home and put the nut & bolt...

I need to weld seven 1/4" studs to the back of an all aluminum grille to mount in my roadster nose. I have a Hobart 220v MIG. Is it just a matter of buying a small spool of aluminum welding wire and installing it in the MIG? I've never welded aluminum before. Softer metal, lower melting...

I need a decent cordless light primarily for working on cars. I already have an M12 Fuel drill so I have 2 batteries. Does anyone have the M12 stick light #2351-20? Is it good and bright? Will it fill the bill? I used an M18 work light when I was working and it was the bomb! However, I...

Anyone interested? It's currently on CL. This unit is modified with 1/2" fittings and ball valves. It works very, very well and rarely ever clogs. You can see the mods here...…………… https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207210 Local pickup only. Too much hassle to ship. Comes...

Just sold my 8" Black & Decker Model 74 grinder to Adam Savage from Mythbusters. Didn't get to actually meet him 'cause he sent his 4'10" tall female assistant to pick it up. Had a heck of a time loading it by myself into the back of her Prius! It bottomed out as she left my driveway. Thing...

I'm about to repaint our house. May even go for a color change. I have T-111 siding and I want to thoroughly prime the weather sides of the house (which is about 2/3rd's of it). I'll be rolling the primer on. What is a good type and brand of primer to use?

I'm painting my house and need to remove this security door so I can blast and paint it. I need to find a tool to remove these 6 bolts that hold it to the door frame. The bolt is a larger version of what is used on commercial bathroom stalls. I know there's something out there! What's it...

For a couple of years I've been using my 90lb HF blaster. It barely worked out of the box. Then I made some mods and it worked much better but really, it's only good for blasting parts. Rearend housings, suspension pieces, brackets, etc. It'd blast for a little while then it'd clog. Got to...

I/R 5hp w/80 gal tank. 175 hours on the motor. I was filling up a big air mattress and listening for it to cycle on as the tank purged down but it never did. It normally cycles at about 70psi. Checked the gauge and it was down to 20psi. Turned the switch off and on.......nothing. Could it...

Neighbor was throwing this away...........it's 75 years old and works perfectly! 1940's Black & Decker 8" with 3/4 hp. Model #74 Tore it apart to check it over and found perfectly good bearings and a new capacitor. All good. It was a little too low for my liking so I extended the stand 5"...

Like the title says. I need to glue pieces of a thick pond liner to sheetmetal and fiberglass and it needs to stay there! What's the best adhesive to use that I could pick up at HD? Superglue? Gorilla glue? 2-part epoxy?

Yes, I said electric. No, I don't want gas and no, I don't want cordless either. Electric with a cord more than handles my needs! Problem is, it seems I'm buying a $60 HD unit every year. They seem to last just past the warranty then the motor burns out or it just falls apart! I call them...

Just driving through the neighborhood this morning and saw this sitting on the curb in front of a house. Knocked on the front door and asked if they were getting rid of it. "It's all yours" they said! Took two of us to get it in the truck. Must weigh 250 lbs! Talked to the guy that was...

I have an older Milwaukee 6230 portable bandsaw that's starting to act up. It's actually mounted on a stand and is used as a stationary bandsaw. While cutting steel, with hardly any resistance at all, the cutting action starts and stops taking forever to cut through a piece or 1/4" steel...
