    She went and cracked the sink!

    Had a pedestal bathroom sink, dropped a ceramic dog water bowl and it cracked the sinkbowl. Clear through there was a hole in the sink. The dog bowl survived. Seems to be made of the same material as a toilet. Hit those just right and you can break them easily, when I replaced a toilet in...

    Irwin *****. I need a high quality tap holder

    :oops:that's some porous looking metal, looks like a sponge. How they got the finish to be so smooth and polished when the inside looks like that is quite an accomplishment.

    Recommend me a dehumidifier

    I got the Media cube from Home Depot. its been working great for the past 18 months. what I like about it is that it has a huge storage bin so you don't need to empty as often but it does get heavy when full. I think it holds around 4 gallons. It has a app for iphone that you can program its...

    Grinding wheel for cutting concrete

    Definitely get a diamond wheel. I used the Dewalt 4-1/2" one on my grinder and it cut so much cleaner and faster then the abrasive type. They also last longer and do not wear away and get smaller in diameter.

    ls this NOCO Boost Plus GB40 1000 Amp boost starter worth having?

    I just used my GB40 to jump a Mazda 3. Took 3 tries got it started. I noticed that it is now swollen looks like the battery went bad. something seemed off as I had to use the overide button. I guess these things don’t last, I bought it in 2016, got 6 years out of it.

    ls this NOCO Boost Plus GB40 1000 Amp boost starter worth having?

    I have the GB40. it has worked great and started 4cyl with a dead battery multiple times on a charge. But on my V8, it would not jump it, in fact I didn't even hear it turn over once. so for small engines its very handy. But if you have a V8 look elsewhere. I also used it to jump my EV when...

    Heavy Duty Power Strip

    I got the tripplite power strip also and it has held up well since 2016. I used to use just those cheapo strips but they would burn out (circuit breaker wouldn't reset) after a year or so of hard use. This one is doing great. I have my compressor and shop vac plugged in full time and use it...

    Garage Door Track Screws

    I had that problem and I took roloc sanding disk to the head to flatten it out a bit. Just needed a little off to clear. The slotted end still had enough meat to be useful while allowing the wheels to clear.

    Storage for Concrete, Grout, Thinset, Etc.

    I use 5 gal buckets and gamma seal lids. I have grout, cement and hot mud (drywall). That is well over 5 years old and it’s still good. Just keep them in a climate controlled space and it’ll last a long time.
