I keep seeing Ares tools advertised across amazon and other places, decided to take a look.. They're pretty enough and as far as I can tell come in at a price point a littler higher than Tekton in most cases. But wouldnt you know it, when you start getting curious about what kind of warranty...

Got a hankering to buy some good tools to add to your collection but dont have a ton of money? I'm sure I'm not the only guy on a budget that wants good quality USA (or similar)made tools that just doesnt have money to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on good tools and end up buying some...

If you look at this nifty but stupidly overpriced tool cart, you'll notice there are some little pivot hinges on the handles/collapse rails whatever you want to call them, they pivot on a 45 degree angle and allows for the rails to be locked straight vertical or horizontal. I'm trying to figure...

I'm getting ready to give my garage a full overhaul. Starting with bare walls, no work bench, no nothing except for a couple of toolboxes. I'm currently in the planning stage. My garage is 18x24 and my washer/dryer and water heater are taking up room as well. So I'm looking for great ideas for...

I've been looking into heating the garage. I'm thinking a gas infrared type ceiling or upper wall mounted unit is the way to go. However, all the units I see, look to require too much clearance from the ceiling to be realistic in my garage(10 foot ceiling) or they're not powerful enough to heat...

I'm shopping for a drill press. I'm looking at the bench top models (to save space) and looking to spend as little as possible. So far I'm looking at the Grizzly G0925 8" 5 speed which is $94 on their website. As well as the Harbored Fart Central Machinery 8" 5 speed which comes in at $69...

Yes, I'm aware everyone loves their Stanley Fatmax.. I dont mean a daily beater you lug around at the construction site. They're great tape measures sure, but they're ugly and made of plastic. I mean a high end super nice tape measure that you'd use in your own garage or workshop. More suited...

I just can NOT choose lol. So I'm a home gamer shopping for a soldering station, not looking to drop half a check on a Hakko or Weller, I'm looking to stay around $70 or less. I'm also avoiding the lower end Wellers as I would like something with a detachable/replaceable iron. Rather than one...

For slip joint pocket knife. Due to not having access to proper cutlery at work, I have recently gotten in the habit of using my edc pocket knife to cut food while at work. Blades started sticking and I put a few drops of air tool oil in it without any thought towards using it for food as I...

Found this lot of tools on facebook for $12. That was his price. Could only make out a few things in the pile on the post, like the chisel set and the soldering iron. Wrote him and told him I wanted it based on only the few things I could see well. Went and picked it up today. I'm pretty stoked...

So, I found out today that I do not have a 1/2" drive metric socket set. Could have sworn I did. :headscrat Anyways, I also dont have any impact sockets and had been planning on buying a set. Kind of need both right now, but dont really want to shell out the cash for both. So, Im just curious...

How are the Black/Brushed Craftsman Tools? I see these pop up for sale on facebook or craigslist every once in a while. They're always relatively inexpensive. And everytime I think "Man, those are some really nice lookin tools." And I almost want to buy some just because of how nice they...

Everyone needs writing/drawing utensils. A man in his garage or at work needs the best writing utensils. Just like any other tool, you want quality, durability, and top notch functionality. An enjoyable writing/drawing experience can improve everything from mood and concentration to basic...

Found a set of 3/8 SAE Armstrong Eliminator sockets and ratchet for sale locally for $20(online, cant pick them up til tomorrow). Still in the case with the foam and promotional paperwork. Looks to be in near perfect condition. I'm pretty sure that's next to dirt cheap for a set of Armstrong...

Spotted this old Craftsman Tool Chest on facebook. Gentleman was asking $75. We negotiated a bit and I brought it home this morning for $60. I'm going to restore it or at least make it nice. I think it may be a little rough to make it perfect, but we'll see. I'll post pics later. May start a...

Most of the youtube I watch these days are channels where people make things, restore things, tool reviews, etc. All of which a DIY, garage dwelling, tool loving, wrench turning, individual would love. I have learned a lots of different ways to accomplish different tasks and been inspired and...

Gonna be fabbing a new workbench in the near future. Have some 3x3 square tube I'm gonna be using for the legs, some 2x2 square tube for the frame, and lots of angle iron from old bed frames as well as some 2"x1/2" rectangle tube for whatever else. Anyways I believe I have way more than enough...

I have no idea if this is serious or not. But I got a pretty good chuckle out of it, thought I'd share. Love that his name includes "Handyman" as well lol. The review is for a Pittsburgh Pro 1/4 Ratchet on HF.

Hey guys, I have an old Buffalo(made in Taiwan) bench grinder. Nothing fancy. Got it from my mother in law. But bearings were bad in it, currently waiting for a new set to arrive in the mail. And was gonna put some fresh paint on it. Thinking about adding a Pot in for speed control as a nice...

Im looking to purchase a good digital multimeter in the near future. It will be for all around use. Mostly continuity and voltage drop testing in low voltage circuits like automotive or lawn equipment with 6v-12v systems. However, I occassionally get into wiring up new fixtures or working on...
