I found this last night and found it encouraging that whatever generation (X,Y,Z millennial etc) is assigned to these guys, they have a passion for metal, fabrication, welding in all "practices" old machine tools to the exotic computer controlled. I recognized this young man from a "discovery or...

You know sometimes "a picture can say 1000 words" and I agree.... but this apparently needed 1005. I bought 2 of these 10 ton floor jacks for around $550 on a Govt. Planet auction site. I wanted a "long body" style and the capacity would come in handy. That's one of my old normal 31/2 ton...

New phone seems to not recognize my sign in. Now it's not activated cell wise but I've transferred my data and am not having trouble with the other forums using the same autofill and it runs fine on wifi? It's probably me but any suggestions would be helpful. 👍

Apparently I've procrastinated too long, have I? I was heading out this morning for 2 of the 22x44 lower cabinets that were shown available online. No dice. Small parts storage is what I'm looking for and the price (online) showed the orange and yellow $100 less than a more traditional color @...

Since the remote controls really **** on all 3 of my openers for these openers.... I'm interested in a phone/wifi based operation. A few things... I don't have, won't have a siri type thing in my house or shop! It seems that a lot of what I'm seeing available say that they're compatible with...

I have the lift master 3900 series openers (3) on my 12x14 doors. Reading tells me that there are lots of complaints about the poor remote control both the loose clip on the visor type and the vehicles built in types. I'd like to hear from anyone that has switched to the wifi type that can be...

I'd like to have one of these for an upcoming project. Some of these fasteners will be going into some structural metal with a 1/4" wall thickness and I'd like to use 5/16 or 3/8 bolts. Amazon has a selection that doesn't really give me much information and in my estimation, not a tool of...

Jeez, you can't even bolt on a wheel these days without some BS electronic tool! Well I've finally have left the "good old day's" vehicles that any idiot walking by could tell a tire was low on air. Both of our vehicles have this TPM unnecessary complication as a "convenience" and also both run...

Some time ago some one here helped me with a "workaround" for a 9" grinder that the switch was n/a. Now I'm looking for a chuck for a model 5392 hammer drill variable speed. What I'm coming up with is another n/a, at least online. Whoever helped me out new his stuff! This tool is at least 20...

I was wondering if a shop sink, (no parts washing,chemicals, etc. more like you'd use a kitchen sink) that exited to the outside and turned down into a "french drain" type pit would tend to freeze ? I was initially thinking that a trap should be under the sink like a normal one, that's what led...

The new catalog came and flipping through it I spot these "regular" screw in 4400 lumen LED bulbs with a decent reflector attached for $30. I wondered if anyone has tried these? I'm looking for something like this to temporarily give me some lighting until I can put in the ceiling and do a...

I need to light a 38x64 shop with 16' ceilings. I have been advised to go with T-5 HO fluorescent by people I trust. The big orange & blue box store's seem to be very limited with both the fixture & lamps, also expensive. Looking on line, a little better but….. during my search I came across...

I have a 12 drawer (lower) tool chest that is probably at least 20 y.o. One of the slides is giving me trouble. To be truthful, I haven't gone to the bother of emptying out the drawer to take a real look at what's going on either. This has been going on for a while and while I was at Sears...

Any of you guy's have a good source? I have a Milwaukee 7-9" grinder that has been a real workhorse for me. I broke the switch the other day and it looks like the switch is obsolete. It is model #6065 15Amp 7-9" and in really good shape other than the switch. I took it apart today to have a look...

Do any of you guy's know how I can jump the wires to NOT install those stupid "eyes" and have the door work properly. I'm adding another opener and with my other 2 I just have the eyes pointing at each other up at the ceiling level. I'd like to not do this with the new unit and will do the some...

I'm looking for some trim parts for my (Wayne Dalton) commercial door. The window trim is cracking and broken (looks like sunlight damage). These doors are the 5500 series, foam insulated, and only about 4 yrs. old. I've done some web searching but I am just finding springs and hinge hardware...

On several, actually most of the time lately, after making a long and (hopefully) helpful responce to a post, when I'm finished and hit the "post" button or however it is worded, I'm sent to your not a member or logged in! Tonight I've logged in 3 times! (and not logged out once) I just...

I'm sure that I not alone here, but when I was a kid and allways trying to keep my "junk" working, I drempt of having a lift. Well now it' mostly newer vehicles for us and more oil changes and maint. these days, rather than bigger jobs, (junk yard trannies, motors etc). I set up my last shop...

I just read a thread on an AC enclosure, but in TX. Not wanting to hijack his thread......... I have a 25' X 80' lean to on the back of my shop (in Maine) and was planning on sticking the comp. and all it's noise outside. My concern is in the winter it can get very cold. I could build a...

Sorry if this has been covered, I did not get any results searching, but that was before I signed up. In my last shop I used copper, but after using the PEX for my new home and for the radiant heat, I'm quite impressed with it. I'm thinking that I''ll stub into the shop (the compressor will be...
