    Chrome Lug Nut Sockets

    Picked up a new Ram 2500 last week and it has some shiny new chrome(?) lug nuts. What would y'all recommend for a socket to use on these. Would like to use an impact if possible without marring them.

    1/2" extension with pin lock - long & cheap?

    Find myself in need of a 20 - 24"-ish 1/2" drive extension. The key feature needed is a pin lock rather than ball. Need to reach down inside a narrow area with a crowfoot like spanner and it ***** when the spanner falls off. Have tried a locking extension but the guys still somehow manage to...

    Exterior wall insulation to Kraft or Not to Kraft

    Getting set to put up fiberglass insulation batts in the garage this weekend. I was set on using R13 kraft paper insulation. I stumbled upon an old thread here that is having me second guess that decision. The garage is sheathed in 1/2" rigid foam with vinyl siding over it, there is no OSB...

    Klein T-Handle Hex Keys?

    Decided it may be time to pick up a set of T-handle hex and torx drivers. What is the preferred brand? Zoro carries Klein at normal prices, so a 20% coupon makes them fairly attractive. Always been happy with the Klein screwdrivers and pliers I've used. How about ball vs straight tip? I...

    Another Mr. Heater Venting Question?

    Edit: updated, see new post Okay, I know I know, another heater venting question... As most have run into on this topic there is a lot of conflicting information out there. I'm planning to install a 50K unit and run a horizontal vent. The vent will come out under the soffit (see below)...

    50a welder circuit and wiring attached garage

    So I'm getting started on wiring the garage. At present there is one, yes one, wall outlet (20a circuit and includes the garage door opener plug). I had previously added a 30 amp 220V plug on 10/2 (≈50 foot run of NM-B) for a 187 Hobart Handler mig welder. Looking to get an Invertig 221 TIG...

    Workbench Receiver Hitch - Yay or Nay?

    Building a new workbench, the frame is welded out of 2x2 0.120 wall tubing and the top is 1 3/4" maple butcher block. The plan is to bolt it to the floor when completed. Current shop is a 2 car garage so space is at a premium. I'm toying with the idea of adding a couple 2" receiver hitches to...

    Late 80's / Early 90's Craftsman contractor table saw?

    A guy at work is inheriting a unisaw and offered to sell me his current table saw. It's a late 80's / early 90's Craftsman belt drive contractor saw. Two years ago he swapped out the fence for a Bessemer style fence (steel city brand). Says it cuts nice and the fence works great. Couple...

    I know, another Pressure Washer thread

    Starting to research a pressure washer purchase to be used for general around the house chores. Cleaning siding, decks, garage, driveway, cars, et. What I've seen so far points to avoiding the residential models with axial pumps and finding one with a triplex pump. I've sorta narrowed it...

    Sealing Furnace Ducts in Winter

    The two bedrooms at the end of the HVAC run in our house are pretty cold compared with the rest of the house. They are also warmer in summer. Adding Mastic has been on my 'to do someday' list for a while now. Our little kids are not good about keeping covers on and not sleeping well now so...

    Kobalt 6 piece metric stubby wrenches

    $11.98 on the Lowe's website. Store has them for $24.97 but they price matched. 12-17 mm complete. I really only needed the 17, but for a couple bucks more than just the 17 cost I got the whole set. Not bad for the price, not as nice as my old USA Craftsman Pro ones but the local Sears...

    Compressed Air from Garage to Basement

    I'm setting up a hobby / workbench area in the basement and got to thinking about having compressed air down there. Any thoughts on getting compressed air down there from the attached garage? Since it's hollow, would running a hard air line through the drywall and into the basement not be up...
