    Purchased the Fanttik R11 reciprocating saw and I'm dissapointed

    Amazon dropped it of a little while ago, opened it up and it looks great, plugged in the charger cable to bring the battery up to full charge. When the indicator showed a full charge I inserted a blade and pushed the power switch, nothing, hmmmm. Read back through the instructions, hold the...

    Locking hex bit adapter

    I ordered this Wera adapter for use in the Dewalt DCF 860B I purchased hoping to find that it would stay locked in the gun allowing quick and easy switching of sockets when needed. Sadly it doesn't stay in the coupler, pulls out with the sockets almost every time. I have a couple of these style...

    Can this be cleaned up?

    I have been looking for an anvil, smaller, for benchtop use and found this one on FB Marketplace a couple months ago. The guy selling it lives in a town in PA that a friend of mine does so pickup was real easy. I paid $80 for it and the seller gave me like 9 hammers with it, a few ball peen, a...

    Mini blower recommendations

    I have finally decided that I want to get one of these mini blowers to use in and around the garage. Tons of them are available on FB and from Amazon, most with blistering negative reviews. I’d prefer to not have to start yet another battery, charger collection so if there is one that is...

    I recently purchased the De Walt 20 volt pruner and mini chain saw. I have been able until now holding back on adding to my drill and impact driver collection, but having the 20 volt batteries and seeing some of the deals being offered currently on drill and driver kits are just to tempting...

    I have several of the HF parts trays in my garage in various drawers around the garage and have considered making one of the racks that many guys here have created, or getting a bakery track rack and using it.

    My OCD strikes again

    I have been working on making a filler panel to close the gap between a benchtop and the wall it backs up against, the concrete footing protrudes out about 4 1/2 inches and created this gap. We routed out a 3/4 x 3/4 section along the back edge of the top, measured and cut a section of polar to...

    Metabo G12SR4 question

    I added one of these to my tool collection and want to get a few wire wheels that I can use with it. Despite my best efforts I have been unable to confirm the thread size of the arbor, 5/8 is my suspicion but I'd rather know for sure before placing an order and finding out that I am wrong. Can...

I would like to add an indicator lamp so I know that it is turned on, the only switch or control is a simple thermostat, which has a little slide switch across the bottom, A/C Off Heat. Because of the small size and...

    Looking at the Norseman drill sets

    I am looking to add a set of bits that I can keep adjacent to my drill press, leaving a set on the workbench that I use with a handheld drill.

    I can't remember where I got this.

    I had these in the drawer with my 1/4 drive ratchets and accessories but didn't put them back when I moved. I want to reorganize the drawer and want to use them again. I'm annoyed that I can't find the pins and other pieces that I didn't use. I searched through my Amazon purchases and didn't...
