    Show me your HF toolbox!

    Live close to the store and go by often...or just be lucky. Typically there is a corner of the store with the damaged/return/clearanced stock. I happened upon a 44" Roll Cab a few weeks ago, huge dent in the side, but did not affect it's workings, marked down to $309, probably could have...

    Lubricants on Threads

    Do a little research...it's not the torque that changes, but the tension applied to the bolt for the given torque. And anti-seize typically has an even greater effect than most oils and greases. The fact that you are hand torquing it on the low side of the torque range is a good thing, though...

    Lubricants on Threads

    It's not that you never should use it on lug nuts (and any other dry torque spec fastener) but rather that you must use common sense if doing so. Most fasteners are spec'ed with dry torque ratings. A good rule of thumb is that if you have lubed threads to reduce the dry torque spec by roughly...

    Show me your HF toolbox!

    Seen one, seen them all...externally, but there are plenty in here that are customized to make them more useful, or to the users taste, and organization ideas. If I learned anything from last time, during month 9 I can do what I want, and she won't even notice until about....3 months after the...

    Show me your HF toolbox!

    :lol_hitti Soo...my wife just surprised me that she is pregnant with our second child last night. Instantly, when I suggested maybe it's a boy this time and we could use a 4 drawer cart as a changing table, maybe a 44 as a dresser..........she shot it down, quick :dunno:

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    This is Dixie as she appeared to us, the day after Christmas several years ago. About 6 months old according to the vet, cold and hungry. It was about 20 degrees outside, I was working in the shop with the door open to vent some welding fumes. She wandered in and laid down on the welding blanket...

    Lets see your (interior) garage door makeovers

    Very nice, I bet you could make a good side income selling the safe door wrap on ebay in standard door dimensions, maybe a few other varieties such as a wooden outhouse door wrap, etc.

    Lets see your (interior) garage door makeovers

    The one on the left looks like a vinyl wrap of a safe door, pretty sweet. The one on the right looks to just be painted metallic with a line down the middle to resemble an elevator door. Time to paint or get some new knobs!

    Craftsman LED Worklight

    I have that one, it was cheaper at the time, and I liked it's smaller size. It's worked great for about a year, very bright. Two issues I've found. 1. It's supposed to go from red to green led after charging is complete. Mine has never turned green. I've recharged it after each use...

    Lowe's Clearance Thread 2014

    If I had it reserved or paid a deposit, I would label it "sold out from under me" but I had paid the full purchase price, had my name on it, and was picking it up, to me it's borderline theft.

    Lowe's Clearance Thread 2014

    Well...I was kinda hopeful it would turn up and I wouldn't drive a hour home empty handed. My daughter was the trooper for waiting that long. Though she was sure to leave them a present in the nearest trash can. :lol_hitti

    Lowe's Clearance Thread 2014

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    Last time I used one, you could not use the 20% off entire purchase and 25% off one item together, but you can use the 20% off entire purchase in the same order as individual item coupons, but the 20% off will not apply towards those discounted items, and those items don't count towards the...

    Ouch, only one in stock in any store in my area, at $93. At $30-40 I'd pick one up for sure.

    Craftsman "Long C/Underline" Logo

    This. I would stick with the top style, I would even consider getting rid of the "Guaranteed highest quality" wording and just have a solid oval with the lines.

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    Beautiful dog. My guess would be an Australian Shepherd/Australian Cattle Dog (heeler) mix. She's got heeler/cattle dog ears, tail and snout, but more of a Australian Shepherd like coat and build.
