Linked below. I used to have a really old one somewhere, I'll have to dig it out and restore it someday. But I was hoping someone knew what these were called. I'd like to find one that isn't from india, and install that on my study door. That's right, I'm an old time gentleman and the kids...

What's the coolest, or just the best looking garage/shop floor you've seen? I'm thinking of some really nice looking floor that looks like blue granite or something. Almost like a counter top for a kitchen, yet it's a floor. That's just what I'm imagining. Maybe somebody could do that light...

I have an old rusty pair of pliers I was thinking about painting. Maybe knock all the rust off, mask off the inside of the jaws, and hit it with some rustoleum paint + primer from a rattle can. To clarify I'm not talking about hand tools where it's clear that most of the paint would never see...

Anybody own this thing? If so, do you like it? I like the small size, but it's only a 4 volt unfortunately. Then again maybe that's all you need for 1/4" drive. Clearly it's just got a single 18650 battery inside, which I believe you could replace for longer life and maybe more oomph. They say...

Many of you probably own a JNC 660, and it seems to be a favorite and a standard in the tow truck world. After 15 years mine is finally dead. I noticed that the battery just wouldn't stay charged. I'd charge it up and the little meter would say its fine, but the next day it would be dead. I was...

Yall notice most of the power tools these days look like they're trying to be something from the Transformers franchise? They may be good tools, but it looks like they're trying too hard to look cool. It's having the opposite effect. I liked it better when tools looked more like this one. Nice...

I have a Craftsman brand "dremel" type rotary tool from 1998 or 1999. The pic shows the part that is missing. It's some kind of nut-collar, and as far as I can tell it just keeps out the debris that flies away from the business end. The Dremel that's also in the pic shows a tool that still has...

First let me say that I'm not talking about coating your toolbox or door in stickers from companies. I mean something real, like painting a mural of an old 60's ford truck (or something) on a blank wall. Just to make the place look cooler, and less basic. For me, it makes me want to spend more...

I just want the impact wrench, but the only place I can find it is amazon, and it's being sold with a ratchet. Everywhere else says "sold out" just like the site I linked. It's the AC-Delco G12 3/8 drive 12v. The model number is ARI12104T, but I think it also shares that with the driver version...

I've had it with these chinese scanners. I've got an Autel, and I also have the $1,600 flagship Launch. It's all down the Chineses' age old inability to hire a competent translator. Too many times I've struggled to understand what the thing is telling me, only to later find out that it was just...

I'm looking for an under mount drawer for my plastic tool cart. Links below. If you've used some of these modern desk drawers found on office furniture, I'm sure you've felt just how low the quality can feel. They'll often use the thinnest sheet metal possible and the lowest quality drawer...

I really like the form of the 3/8 snap-on electric impact. I like that it's small and narrow. And I like that the battery goes up inside and isn't a big mass on the bottom. So I figured I'd check ebay, but man they all look like they've seen 9/10 of their service life. Probably a bad idea to...

I'm considering using a utility cart as a mechanic's tool cart. Not professionally, but I do most of my own mechanic work. I've been reading threads on the subject, and some people say plastic might be better cause you get less dents or scratches on fenders. And the plastic carts are less...

So I got this OMT brake bleeder off amazon and of course the recommended 42mm adapter doesn't fit the brake reservoir. It's screw on, and the 2018 camry hybrid has that other thing they call "twist" or push lock. It functions similar to how a radiator cap does...

Well the Texas summer heat has is here, and my house's AC just can't keep up. It runs all day long, and doesn't actually cool the house to 74 degrees. It can only cool it to about 76 degrees in the afternoon. Cearly I have some kind of problem, and I think it's air escaping the house. I've tried...

I've spilled my last quart of fluid. Not saying I've spilled a lot, but it's happened a time or two, enough to make me solve the problem. One way or another I'll have something to put the quart bottle in while I pump the fluid out. But what? I'm referring to a better, heavier version of...

I searched and found this in another thread, someone said it worked great: https://www.seesiius.com/products/wh760-cordless-impact-wrench Straight outta china of course. But it's $90 not $280 like the known good brands. I need one for stubborn lug nuts. So I wanted to ask if anyone else has...

Living in texas it's nice to have cold water to drink in the garage, even when the AC is on. Grandpaw always had one of these in his shop and I always made good use of it. But which one...

I thought I would ask because collectively, this board knows everything. I'm at the stage of electrical newbness, where I think I'm getting over the hump. That place where you go from fearing and loathing dealing with wiring and electrical gremlins, to finally gaining some confidence in your...

Hi all, about 8 years ago I bought an Amprobe AM-510 on the recommendation of this board. IIRC it was because it was a good value being a fluke subsidiary, and containing a lot of fluke parts. But now when you turn the dial, it makes a high pitched electrical squealing, and some electrical...
