Looking for some decent pegboard bins that I can just put screws and washers and bolts in. They need to be able to hang on standard pegboard. Saw ebay and harbor freight and such, but they look like thin cheap junk. Anyone got a lead on some decent ones?

I'm looking for a good small pump that comes with small, 1/4" tubing. I'm assuming the tubing would need to be something like 5 or 6 feet long on each side of the pump. I'd like a kit, something where I don't have to source any of my own parts or cobble something together. If possible, anyway...

I need a decent soldering torch. I keep running into situations where I need one, so I'm going to get one. But there seems to be a ton of chinese stuff out there for like $12. Something tells me that I probably don't want that. Or do I? Which soldering mini torch would you recommend? I know snap...

I'm needing to get a good slide hammer. I'd like to be able to use it for different types of work, if possible. Is there a "best" slide hammer? Are there ones (or brands) to stay away from? My knowledge of slide hammers is quite lacking.

Never used this pliers type oil filter wrench: http://www.ebay.com/itm/192007042000?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I was thinking of buying that. I've only ever used the metal strap type, which comes with a handle. Is there anything I should know about the pliers...

Anybody here have this set? If so, how do you like it? Need a new set and I've zero'd on this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bondhus-20599-0-050-3-8-Inch-1-5-10mm-Stubby-Ball-End-Hex-Key-Double-Pack-/231933453341?hash=item36004fa41d:g:QGMAAOSwgtJXTxYv

Hi all. I am missing some sockets out of my collection, so I was looking at just buying them individually. I noticed that for about the same price as new, I can buy used tool truck brands off ebay. Just as well do that, if the prices are going to be similar. So I wanted to ask about how to look...

Something I've been running into lately. Impact sockets not really wanting to fit in the lug hole, of a set of modern wheels. I got this newer mercedes in, and the impact socket just wouldn't fit in the hole. This is about the 4rth car in as many months where I've had this problem. So I ended up...

Looking for another tool recommendation. I'm looking for a deep offset wrench set, for a reasonable price. Can't afford Snap on or S&K and the like. Just looking for one of decent quality. I keep running into the need for offset wrenches when I'm working on cars. It would be something like in...

I'm looking to get rid of my old floor engine hoist. Its just your standard "cherry picker". Rolls around on 4 casters, and is operated by a hand jack. I'm sure you're well aware of the type. Its too big and takes up too much room in my garage. I need that space for other things, as my garage...

Wasn't sure where exactly to post this thread. I couldn't decide whether or not to post it here or in Vintage Tools. Because in vintage tools, they do a lot of restoration. Does anyone have any recommendations, for a set of stencils that are small/very small? I'm looking to use them to restore...

I was just wondering if there are any members on this forum, that could be described as "********" american tool fans. This means, that if its not american made, they won't have anything to do with it. People who will ONLY buy american tools. For me its a pipe dream, but for others I can see...

I am needing to buy a new wrench set. My old set is just cobbled together from years of... well I don't know what. Hand me downs? Lousy walmart sets? Anyway its kind of lousy, and its incomplete. I'm always running into a situation where I'm needing a wrench I don't have. I just snapped the head...

I'm looking for the best motorized knife sharpener. I just want to be able to stick the blade into the sharpener, hit a button, and have it come out sharpened. So which one is the best one of these to have? Mainly this will be for kitchen knives, but I may use it on others as well at some point.

I am needing a replacement 7.5hp electric motor for my air compressor. My grandfather gave me a big air compressor but the motor has died. I pulled the motor off and took it to the rebuild shop, and they laughably want $900 to rebuild the electric motor. They said the windings are "burnt" and...

I'll mostly be doing sheet metal. But I will occasionally want to cut a truck's frame, for various reasons. And sometimes, I may even want to cut some 3/8" thick steel for other projects. Will this plasma cutter be ok for all those jobs? Any disadvantages? If not, which one should I go with...

Can anyone recommend me a quality electric die grinder? One that isn't too awful expensive. The bang for the buck model, I guess. Not a dremel. Something a bit bigger than that, but still handheld.

This one is for the autobody guys, of which there are many. Or if you just know about this stuff. In terms of sanding, do you do anything different when you're painting over old paint? I know a lot of guys will like to use the old paint on a car, as a sort of base when they can. But then...

I was hoping someone here could give me an idea of the best, or at least a very good electric sander, for autobody work. I don't have air and can't really get into good air at this time. Also, I already have a Dewalt brand electric sander that does work. What would be the advantages of your...

Hi all. When I bought my house, the garage door was really quiet. It even says "ultra quiet" on the motor so I guess it made sense. But now, it has gotten very... squeally. Not the motor itself, but the door. The wheels and tracks seem to be loud and squealing a lot. So: 1. What lube should I...
