I have a precision instruments 20-100 ft lb 3/8 split beam torque wrench. On multiple occasions I have over torqued and snapped or stripped fasteners because I didnt get a click. I have gone slowly to make sure I pay close attention to it, but no dice. I tested it on some lug nuts at various...

Hi hive mind, I have an 8x19 side room on my garage. I want to utilize it as a workshop space, and parts storage. Does anyone have a similar smaller attachment to their garage that they use for things beyond just storage? Does anyone have galleries or pics they could post or link to? I am...

I understand there are two schools of thought: a) get the lightest/smallest tool necessary to do the job, they are easier to handle, work with and fit into tighter spaces. B) or get the most powerful one, as it’s better to have power when you need it. What’s are your thoughts around this...

Hey guys, My wife wanted to get me the Milwaukee Impact I keep drooling over for my birth-mas (my birthday's 5 days after Christmas). She wanted to know the exact model and spec.. I would have typically said just get the 2767-20 (non one key), however; the 2863 is the same cost online right...

Hey guys, I am quite disappointed with my craftsman ratchets after more than 10 years of solid use. They are just too clunky. I am going to upgrading a few areas of my tool box and I think ratchets will be a good starting point (in addition to screw drivers -as posted on another thread). I...

Hi guys, I have been using craftsman screw drivers for a while and finally want to upgrade. I want something that will hold up well, work well, and fit comfortably in my hand with an ergonomic grip. Being a german car guy, a friend whos a pro porsche wrench suggested that American...

Let's see your white tool boxes, cabinets or work benches. I saw a white tool cart at Harbor freight a few weeks ago and it kicked my brain into high gear about making some changes to my garage. being a Porsche fan the white cart reminded me of the white cabinets that the factory team uses...

Hi guys, I would be surprised if this wasnt already talked to death, but I tried searching but could not find anything on this. I have a Gen 1 44" box, and want to get a side cabinet and possibly a top. Now they sell the gen 2, which i understand are deeper. Can someone confirm if the...

Hey guys, I wanted to get some opinions on some garage heating units. I have narrowed down to 3, but I cannot make a decision. cant pipe in gas heat, and my garage only has 30 amp. So these are it! I dont want to do a torpedo unit so please dont recommend it instead. Option 1...

Hey guys not sure where this should go but just saw this auction posted on Facebook. Lots of work benches, steel cabinets, tool boxes, welders, air compressors among racing parts, tire balancers, lathes, engines etc. For someone local or close to one their racing schools you might be able to...

so i had a new pad poured this fall, and i am starting to do research on what to do in spring when i paint it in rust bullet. My pad did not have saw cut joints but the kind where they make a V shape trowl edge across the floor, dividing it in 4ths. I am assuming that is a control joint...

So the house curently has 100 amp service with 30 going to the garage. I am looking to upgrade the house to 200. How much/what size sub panel should I need if I want to have a 60 gal compressor and welding equipment on 240 (ie mig, tig, arc plasma cutter kind of stuff)? I'm not going to...

Anyone who has seen my thread has heard me talk about my current pad -100 year old garage, pitted pad, with tons of craters, moisture and efflourescence coming up from the bottom due to age of pad and no moisture barrier. Its seen far better days. I had contractors come by and write up...
