    Soil against siding - easiest solution?

    I have a ton of work to do on the house which outranks finishing the garage, but I need the garage to be functional in the winter to complete projects for the house. Before I can even think about insulating the walls I need to figure out how to get the soil below the siding. I tried digging a...

    My first house and detached garage - start over with electrical?

    I bought a house in NJ built in 1920 with some "creative" handywork. Attached is a photo of the fuse box in the garage. I'm not sure what type of wire this is that runs underground about 25' from the house to the garage, but I'm assuming I shouldn't have terminal blocks like this with...

    would you pay $300? snap-on, sk, continental american, cman usa

    I'm trying not to spend any money on tools right now, but this was offered to me for $300. This is most of it. There's a few other miscellaneous items such as a USA craftsman ratchet and unknown brand impact driver set. The main items that sparked my interest were the snap on clutch alignment...

    Snap On WB240 Tire Balancer, can it run on AC and DC?

    So at the shop we have an old Snap On WB240 balancer where you spin the wheel manually instead of having a motor. Somehow the adapter was lost to plug the thing in. An electrician rigged up a small transformer to go from 120V AC to 11.5V AC and it worked for a week and then stopped. I'm...

    My favorite thing about air tools...(rebuild pics inside, help needed)

    My favorite thing about air tools is that people don't oil them, and then think that they are broken and give them to me for free after buying new ones. Here is my collection so far, probably under $100 invested in everything. Matco: Needs a rotor, the screws backed out and it sheared the...

    Worth rebuilding Snap-On FAR72B?

    Here it is: It worked fine, but the drive broke. I can't find the replacement part listed on the site, anyone know how to go about repairing it? Any other ratchets that would use the same part? Or should I just forget it? Thanks for any help!

    signs, banners, and die cuts for a new shop?

    A good friend of mine is moving into a new shop. He would like to find some nice die cut logos to apply to the glass (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Infiniti...etc) along with some generic service signs and banners. I tried poking around on google but everything I found was just "create your own" type...

    my first garage sale haul thread! should I grab more?

    Here's what I grabbed, $20 for everything. I only grabbed what I knew I would use: It's my neighbor's garage sale. He was a stone mason and is now in a care facility, so his wife is clearing out the 3 garages and 2 sheds. He was definitely a collector. There's probably 3 boxes of...

    Another "what is it worth" thread

    I'm helping a friend clear out some things at the shop that never get used, I'll probably be updating this once in a while because I have no idea how to value this stuff used. This is one set he wants to get rid of, looks like it might be missing the glasses but everything else seems to be...

    Need advice on a hex bit set

    Hey guys, I'm looking for some affordable hex bits that won't round off. I was wondering if anyone offers just the actual bit part so I could just use it in a regular socket, similar to the following: http://www.toolking.com/titan-16112-13-piece-mm-hex-socket-set-with-mag-holder It's...
