In this day and age, we're all constantly being spied on by scumbags. So having a vpn, is one of several necessary steps to make sure that you're secured and private, for the most part. If you're a principled person like me, this is important. I'm not going through all of their stuff, or...

Hi all. I am having the usual difficulty with getting a water hose to detach from the spigot. Just the standard stuff on the outside of any house. The part you tighten down (name?) on the hose, has apparently corroded to the spigot. It looks to me like the part on the hose, is made of some kind...

The water is brown when I drain the air compressor. There isn't any visible flakes of rust or anything, just brown water. It's this one: (if it helps or matters) http://industrialairusa.com/prod_detail.php?model=ILA1883054&cat=1 I haven't owned the compressor for long, and I've only drained it...

Hi all. I am looking for a somewhat small, sealed locker or cabinet that I can hang in the wall in my garage. I want to put an old pair of shoes in there, and an old hoodie so that I always have them on hand out there. And thus I'm far more likely to use them, sparing my good shoes and jacket...

Yeah I said it. Fake grass. I want it. I am not a yard work kind of guy. I can't think of anything more thankless than dealing with all of that mess. I know some of you guys like maintaining your yards as though its nearly some sort of religious practice. We've all got our hobbies that we love...

Grand pappy used to have a huge belt sander which he required for his business. I loved that thing. Anyway now I no longer have access to one. But I do have a JET bench grinder. So that got me to thinking... what is the real difference? I suppose if there was some reason that space became an...

Anyone ever added a bigger muffler (or something) or otherwise made a small engine run quiet? I have a power washer that I'd like to be able to use at my house, but sometimes I want to use it at times when its not really neighborly to be loud. Sometimes I like to wash the boat, or a car when the...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009447UOC/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Looking for a somewhat inexpensive impact socket set. These seem to have a good review score but I really don't want the labels to wear off. And then I can't even read what socket I'm trying to use. These will just be for home use, so...

At some point I'm going to have a metal building built on my property. This is likely a few years down the road, but I like to plan things years in advance. So the building will be a garage. It will need to be able to park 8 vehicles inside. It also needs to be able to fit a 22' pontoon boat...

Looking for a decent quality grease gun. Not the smaller grease pistols that take the smaller sized grease tubes. Just the regular size. I imagine like all tools, I can pay $9,800 for a snap on brand or something. Just looking for the one that is good quality, but isn't super expensive. The...

That the doilys on the building in the picture at the top of this thread, kinda look like the bank of america symbol? The banner that says "Support the garage journal". The little white squares that are on the bricks. Those squares look like the Bank of America symbol.

Hi all. My cheapo Pep boys $120 40 gallon air compressor has died. I got my money's worth out of it, but it bit the dust. So now I'm in the market for a new one. My needs for the air compressor are: 1. 40 gallon 2. On wheels so I can roll it around. 3. Won't break the bank. I'm seeing a lot...

I'm starting to think that the walmart toilet guts aren't so great. All the assembly that goes in the tank. Had too many problems with them. So I wanted to get you guys' recommendation on which toilet guts, are known to be the very best. I'm tired of having to mess around with them regularly to...

I could use a good kit full of ring terminals. This will mainly be for automotive use. But at times automobiles will need some larger ring terminal sizes. So I need the kit to have plenty of the big ones in there. Figured this place would be as good a place as any to ask where to find the good...

This might not really be the right forum to ask about clothesline retractors, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I need one of these that just always retracts, and never locks. Not looking for anything to do with air hoses or extension cords. This will be used indoors. The clothes line is fine...

Can anyone recommend me a high quality drill press chuck? I ordered one off ebay, and apparently it was chinese garbage. First time I tried to use it, the little teeth on the chuck turned to mush. Where do I get a good one that is hardened and will actually last? Now I'm scared to buy others...

So apparently I just can't use this site anymore, with my favorite browser. Which is firefox. They simply will not let me login. I just upgraded to the latest version of firefox, and after doing some reading, they say to ask the administrator to upgrade to a more secure "TLS". I think it has...

I'm hoping someone here has some experience with these systems. And thus can recommend me a good laser alignment system that I can use to do my own wheel alignments on various different vehicles. This will just be cars and light duty trucks. I know that there are awesome systems available to...
