I realize there are other/'better' lights out there. My agency purchased Streamlight SL 20 lights for the entire group with wall chargers, etc. They held up pretty well, and if they stopped working, (I wrapped up one in several pieces) and shipped it back to Streamlight, a brand spanking new...

Bull, I lost my Dad in 2008, and my Mom two weeks ago. They both passed in a nursing home due to their not being able to live at their house. They stayed there as long as they could. We retrofitted as much as possible to allow that. I echo the one story idea. If you are building, here are some...

Thank you for your reply!

Are the Craftsman peg clamp & peg fence hardware compatible with the B & D workmate?? I have some points to burn, and they are on sale. Thanks for reading

No, this is the 1st and only one. I can get power to the transformer (when I get one for them) and I can hook the unit to the (soon to be powered & installed) transformer, but getting the doorbell button hooked to the unit is the issue. I was just wondering if there was a wireless send/receive...

If I have posted this in the wrong area, please move it. My in laws built their house in about 1972. This year they replaced the roof and re-sided and generally spruced the place. (The place is nicely maintained I should add.) They have a nice looking set of vintage door chimes inside the...

My wife appreciates tools as she sews and quilts. She has measuring tools, scissors, cutters, and multiple sewing machines. I'm smart enough to encourage her acquisition of tools for her hobby. She is pretty good with me as well, will walk through tool stores, (her dad is a tool-o-holic)...

That Starrett deal, that is like a cosmic black hole in suckage terms.... Congratulations!

I'm jealous! How can one be bored with all that equipment?? LOL!

My ambulance chief purchased pink stethoscopes for use on our trucks. They NEVER walked away. :lol:

OMG, that set of Irwin "nu-series" wood handled screwdrivers...I thought my Dad had the only set...never saw or heard of anyone else using them... I still have them in a box, it ain't as purty as that one, and I think it is a bigger set.

I have a Fellowes 4250 in the office here, 28 page max crosscut.

My wife and her family have an almost genetic gift when it comes to paint & painting. The family ran a paint & wallpaper store for nearly 60 years. My father in law was the heir apparent to the store when it was destroyed in a flood. He is one of the best painters around, but he 'loves'...

Ref Hoppes#9 I was a paramedic student working in the local hospital ER almost 30 years ago. Local Poison Control called and said parents transporting a 4 y/o to us that got into the Hoppe's. The rent-a-doc in the E.R. turned around and said "Hoppe's? does that have a distinctive odor?" I...

Got out the Hoppe's & cleaning equipment, and cleaned 6 long guns.

I was dating this nurse in the early 90s, and she was a QVC addict. QVC had a weekly show called the "Craftsman Tool Hour". I purchased a set of Craftsman screwdrivers in a plastic toolbox. Took them to my parents house for something, and promptly lost them. As I was cleaning out their house...

I realize in parts of the world all wrenches are called spanners. But we were taught in firefighting training the pictured tools were spanner wrenches. Used to tighten/loosen hose couplers, the slotted end is used to turn off natural gas valves, flat end used for prying or to hold a door...

Bull, What a thoughtful woman to whom you are married! Congratulations!
