    Counterfeit Digimatic Calipers?

    Do a search. Discussed many times. Some people have had good luck with the counterfeits, others not. A coworker purchased one many years ago...it lasted about a week. Your results may vary. I always stick with you get what you pay for, and if it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't.

    Water softener sizing for iron

    My community well is high in iron and other non wanted minerals. When I replaced my softener, the dealer strongly recommended a iron filter be installed as well. He said without the iron filter, the softener would last about 3-5 years. I did as recommended and everything is still working fine...

    What type of drywall should I use? 5/8, 1/2? Moisture resistant?

    Probably should adjust your overhead doors before converting to living space.

    Seems like a nightmare to pack up an entire garage. When is the last time you moved (your entire tools & garage) ?

    I'll be retiring in two years and if all goes right I'll be building shortly after that. I own 3-1/2 acres about 750' from where I now live, so the move shouldn't be that bad. Still not looking forward to it.

    Recommendations for a leaf blower?

    I have this Makita. Does what it needs to do. Chose Makita because I have a lot of other Makita ****. Good for blowing stuff out of my river rock flower beds. When I want to blow the river rock out of my flower beds, I can use my Stihl SH86C.

    Selecting a Dial Indicator (travel vs test, how much travel and magnetic bases)

    I couldn't agree more. I have a Last Word indicator that came with the tool box package when I went to trade school. Used it during school and purchased my first Interapid soon after finishing. Haven't used the Starret since. That was 44 years ago. Probably the worst tool Starret ever made; in...

    Selecting a Dial Indicator (travel vs test, how much travel and magnetic bases)

    For most things, my personal preference is Starrett, though my calipers are Mitutoyo. Since Starrett was purchased by a conglomerate things are starting to go downhill, even though they said nothing would change. So, the NOS Starrett would be the way to go; in my opinion; if you choose that...

    Storing your Surface Conditioning Tool (SCT)

    Not a Bauer, but I keep mine in the box it came in. Not a daily user, so it's no big deal keeping it there. Wish I had the battery version. Pic swiped from the interweb.

    Help me buildout my home dream home detailing studio: Soundproofing and general questions.

    Looks like a nice plan. I would agree with racecougar. There's a huge gap in what you want with a budget of $10K in an earlier post and $12K in a later post.
