    Give me your thoughts on 1/2" ratchets

    The new 90 tooth gear wrench which is the same mechanical bits as the older Armstrong max access 88 tooth and some matco ratchets. It's good and can be had for a decent price if shopping around. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Look like 6 spline sockets ranging from 5s to 16s. With 3/8 drive. I guess these can apply more torque to a fastener than 12 point or something. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Another WIFI to the shop question

    Historically the best WiFi router was the wrt54 after a lawsuit due to something about open source violations they were forced to release source code. Asus and buffalo routers get shipped with a version of wrt. For Asus routers there is a custom firmware called Merlin wrt. For others there is dd...

    Another WIFI to the shop question

    If using direct burial get the shielded with the gel tape. But still think setting your router to repeater mode and using a second router in the shop with an outdoor antenna is the best solution. Most 2.4GHz routers with three antenna will use omni directional antennas . so using the outdoor...

    Another WIFI to the shop question

    If you use an outdoor antenna you could be good for around a mile or so. 237 miles is current maximum for WiFi. Outdoor roof mounted antenna is what you need. One router in house and one in shop. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Tile with metal base on plywood?

    One of my houses used urethane glue for metal backed vinyl tiles. But the metal was super thin. These tiles will allow water or liquid to seep in the cracks and will become loose over time. Ours lasted about 5 years. In my opinion which is a little less than useless I would ditch this idea and...

    replace garage door springs before they break?

    Lift it without springs? Sorry I implied 3 phase as power rating. But most the 2-5 hp openers require 3 phase electrical source. Most are 208V, 230V and 460V, 575V. These do not require springs my installer told me. Application will probably be denied but won't know for 5 months or so I am...
