Over the years I have developed a big collection of small battery chargers for for tools, lights, calculators, etc. Every one of them seems to have a different plug-in fitting. I have a garage shelf dedicated to these. Unfortunately I no longer remember which device uses which charger, and many...

I saw an old thread about the Elide Fireball. I wonder if there is any new information about the effectiveness and use of the Elide Fireball in either a garage or enclosed trailer as a fire extinguisher. I see the videos, but has anyone here had real life experiences with one?

Help! I have a 1/2 inch drive Kobalt torque wrench that is missing one of the two small screws that attaches the ratcheting mechanism cover plate to the head of the ratchet. The plate came off, and I was only able to find one of the screws. They appear to be very specialized (uncommon) with a...

I have an older Challenger 2-post lift. Last week one of the plastic sliders fell out of the carriage inside the guide/support post. Each carriage has 8 sliders to prevent metal to metal contact with the guide inside the support post. After doing some research on this, I learned it is...

I have a relatively new Craftsman 60 gallon compressor with an oil lubricated pump. The owner's manual calls for synthetic, non-detergent air compressor oil. That is not so easy to find. Sears does not stock it. I have tried Lowes, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, Northern Equipment, and all of the...
