I was all set to pick up a Dewalt 7491RS and see that Grizzly has just released a new portable saw, the G0870. https://www.grizzly.com/products/Grizzly-10-2-HP-115V-Portable-Table-Saw-with-Roller-Stand/G0870 Seems like a solid option for the price of $364. I'll be up near one of their...

I saw a product listing on a welding supply site (I think Bakers) for a Multimatic 220 with AC TIG that had some info listed. It's since been taken down and I didn't pay enough attention to the specs. I'll be going to SEMA where they're supposed to to the unveiling to see it first hand, but...

I have a pipe dream of a garage without a single solitary thing touching the floor so that it can easily hosed down after and mopped after each project (mostly the greasy messy ones). The lone exception might be a garbage can on casters. For me this would include: 1) Trading out my Matco...

I've been hunting for a set of the large Craftsman Industrial or Professional USA Wrenches for a while. I ordered a set of these late last year on closeout and they never could fulfill the order so now trying other avenues. The set in question is this one, but I'd be interested in individuals...

Craftsman Premium 84T Ratchets 1/4" & 3/8" - 21mm craftsman USA deep impact (1/2"dr) It seems that someone has relieve me of my prized Craftsman Premium 84T ratchets (1/4" & 3/8"). I'd like to get another of each if anyone is willing to part with them for a reasonable sum. Also missing a...

I've been hunting for a set of the large Craftsman Industrial Wrenches for a while. I ordered a set of these late last year and they never could fulfill the order so now trying other avenues. The set in question is this one, but I'd be interested in individuals as well of the long-pattern, full...

Nearly every single 7k/9k 4-post lift on the market seems to have identical specs. All the "XLT" type models seems to have +/-79" of clearance at top lock, including: Bendpak HD-9XW Danmar Commander 7X Direct Lift Atlas (Greg Smith) Challenger CL4P9 Rotary Revolution Forward Eagle Equipment...

I had planned on doing epoxy floors, but then I came across some used Racedeck for a song and figured I'd try it out. I'm concerned about moisture as I live in an area with snowy winters and I do a lot of automotive work so there will inevitably be some spilled fluids at somepoint. I also have a...

Thus far, I have all M12 stuff and a number of batteries. I was looking to pick up the M12 Fuel 3/8" Impact (2454-20) to go along with the ratchet, but looking at the specs, it seems the M18 version (2654-20) is actually smaller, with the same weight, but much more powerful. I haven't been able...

I've got a ~20x20 attached wood frame garage surrounded by footer. It's a new-construction home that is now a bit over a year old. Trouble is the thing is sloped for drainage.... rediculously so. It's about a 7" drop front to back. I have to actually lock the wheels in my tool box to keep it...

Anyone ever done that? I was wanting to hang the track and cabinet this weekend, but I haven't gotten the garage painted just yet. Had the thought that maybe I could just hang them and take the hooks and such off and paint the track as part of the wall when I get around to it. Or mask it off, I...

I've got a rather tight parking situation in my garage. I've got a 20'8" truck and a 20'10.5" garage. It fits, but obviously will requires some precision. So far I've look at: 1. Overhead laser (depends a lot on the vehicle cant/angle each time) 2. Stoplight Style sensor (can't be set that...

I've been planning to build a new 8' workbench. In the process of searching for a nice maple top, I stumbled across a sweet deal in a gladiator bench that is brand new in the box for $160. And gladiator base cabinet/drawers cabinets also new for the same price. Trouble is it is only a 6' bench...

I've got several gladiator cabinets ready to go up and had originally planned on mounting them with geartrack. I've also been looking at wall control pegboard and wonder if that might be a viable option to mount them. They're rated for 200lbs per panel and wall control also sells several...

I went with the Miller 211 over the Lincoln 210 MP for the sole reason that it was made in USA and the Lincoln was not. The other Millers I looked at my LWS said "Made in USA" very clearly. Well, when my 211 arrived, it says "Assembled in USA" and a bunch of Chinese characters printed next to...

I've always talked myself out buying a set of deep offset wrenches as a "would be nice but not truly necessary" item and have always been able to find another creative solution for time when they would have come in handy. Last night, I truly did "need" an 18mm offset wrench. I had multiple ways...

First welder, and I' debating on these two... red vs blue. The Lincoln seemed like a no-brainer for an all-in-one hobby unit until I saw the COO. I generally try to support made in USA products whenever possible, so now I'm definitely leaning Miller. With the Lincoln being DC only the stick/TIG...

I'm looking to make a large purchase and am lamenting the fact that I didn't take advantage of the last 30% sale. I can't seem to find anything running currently, but GJ always seems to know of something. Anyone have a coupon code they could share?

Negotiating on an 11-drawer Mac Tech 100 box. The seller is the original owner and it looks like he didn't use it much. It's blue and also has a hood, light, and side cab. What do you think?
