I'm debating whether to buy the Gearwrench flex head ratcheting wrenches, or just the normal, non-flex ratcheting wrenches. Should I bother to own both? If I buy the flex head ones, do I ever really need the normal ones? What are the pros and cons? Only thing I can really think of, would be...

I know this doesn't really have to do with metal, but I didn't really see anywhere else that it would be a good fit. So here it is. Do yall think that epoxy could fix this problem? My friend's wife somehow lost her sanity and did her best to rip the center console door off of his 2007 F-150. As...

I have some larger tools I need to store, and I'd like to get them off my shelves and into some type of cabinets. Things such as the large craftsman electric angle grinder, a Sawzall, a belt sander, a DA sander, a fairly large buffer, a heat gun, the list goes on. I've got all these big tools...

I'm just trying to learn about 1 aspect of old tool restoration. I'm wondering how you reapply... paint? Not sure if its even actually "paint". Anyway, this pic is just an example. Say that you were restoring this old tool, and the white lettering was gone. Or, where it says "Made in USA" at the...

Which is the best socket holder? Which is the best wrench holder? And is there a no slip lining that actually works? I have this to hold my sockets in place: http://www.sears.com/craftsman-socket-organizer-set/p-00965172000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 I have that for standard and metric...

Might not be a whole lot of people on this board who would use such a thing. But I'm looking for a decent automotive steam cleaner, on a budget. It will be a somewhat small thing, like most automotive steam cleaners. Something like this one linked below. Not one of the big bad dangerous ones...

I have 3 personal vehicles at my house, and I've always got 1 or 2 (sometimes up to 3) for sale. And I need a key box or a key cabinet, to hang in my garage to keep all these keys in. Preferably metal since it will be in the garage. I have been just hanging the spare keys on the pegboard pegs...

I've installed this plug in the side of my pontoon boat, for ease of charging: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009ANV81S/?tag=atomicindus08-20 For some reason, they didn't install one from the factory. I guess they want you to have to crawl up in the boat every time, to charge the batteries. So...

I'm looking to get a hose reel/retractor to hang on my shop ceiling. The air hose always seems to be in the way, so I'm going to get one of these. For using different air tools, not just airing up tires. I want one that is spring loaded or something, so that I don't have to hand crank and wind...
