I did some searching, but did not find any good suggestions. I am looking for a good quality, reasonably priced oil drain dolly. The largest volume is 14-16 qts of oil from one car. It will be used under a 4 post lift, and I would like to be able to put it in the back of a SUV completely sealed...

Just FYI...I picked up at HD today the Porter Cable Pancake Air Compressor and 3 Nailer combo on sale for $299 AND THEY THROW IN A 23G PIN NAILER FREE. (They had it mis-priced at $289 so I did even better) The guns are pretty good quality, with good fit and finish, and very good ratings on...

I did a search and found some good opinions, but most were from 2005 -2006. I am looking for a unit that is easy to move and store, is EASY to use for moldings , floors, some light framing. I do not have room for many tools, and I am not going to be building too much furniture, but maybe a...

I am having my panel and service upgraded to 200amps, and while I am getting a new panel I was thinking of whole house surge protection. I had heard about these devices that are mounted in the box at the feed, and covers the entire house. Any comments on these. They are not very expensive ($100)...

I am thinking that if the SS counter top that I have listed in the classified section do not sell, I may just cut off the ends (scrap the part with the hole in it) and use them as fold down benches that I could put a miter saw on as needed or a drill press etc. The question is what would be...

Just an FYI...the 12" Bench drill press is on sale from $199 to $159.99 and eligible for 10% Craftsman Club, and you can also get free shipping, and a free $5 tool bag for spending more than $50. All together with Nj's 7% I paid $154.07 Well since my 17" Floor Press will never come in, This is...

I am looking for a good 3/4" torque wrench that will click at 350lbs in both directions. I would be great to get a ratcheting one, unless it is just too costly. I guess a breaker bar would be the best to remove the nut, but to put them back on I would need the wrench. While I do not want a HF...

I have a 20x20 or so garage that is insulated nicely. I do not need the garage to be 60deg, but in the 50's would not be bad the 1 day a week I will in there for a few hrs. I am not sure if I will have the juice to run a 220v line as I am pretty much going to be close to my limit. When we do our...

I have 2 (1/4 & 3/8) SK Speeder handles, and right out of the bag / box the knurled Handle squeaks. I was kind of expecting them to have some sort of bearing. Anyone else have Squeaky Speeders :) ? Best way to stop it?

This is one of the only places I found for the treads and tape http://www.safewaytraction.com/SafetyHazardAntiSlipTapes.htm Anyone else have a source?

I will be laying the floor around the lift, but will need to put it in it's final spot or may need to move it on occasion. Anyone ever have an issue with the casters either from their tool chest or lift dis-lodging a tile?

Which mfg do you guys prefer? They both sound about the same in the descriptions. Any particular variation for each brand. Also I am getting different opinions regarding the need to roll the tiles. Do you or not?

I opened an old tool box that I had tucked away in the garage from my old days at Ford, and found a few air tools from one of the major re-toolings that one of my assembly plants went through. At the time I was a superintendent of the trim / final assembly area and these were some of the tools...

I was in HD the other day and this caught my eye. I think it was $30 or so. Husky 3/8 In. Drive Rotator Ratchet features a twist action handle for a zero degree arc swing. Rotator features a comfort grip and is Guaranteed Forever. Does any of the other tool companies have this? And does...

A few people have asked me to give a quick review of the Direct Lift Pro Jack 4500 that I purchased from Greg Smith to go with my Pro Park 9 lift. Since I am still working on the garage, I have only had some limited use of it so far. Most 4 post lifts come with a bottle jack platform that...

At the suggestion of many of you, I was looking on Craigslist for some good Cabinets that I might be able to use for the garage. I was considering buying a few good base units ( I was trying to figure how to justify to the wife Lista for at least the bottoms) and then fill in with cabinets found...

Just an FYI that Tooltopia is having their anniversary sale, plus they lowered their free shipping. I picked up a few things. Their prices are not bad, but the shipping is what makes the overall deal better.

I want to ensure that I do not get that annoying flicker shadow when the light "goes through the blades". There will be 11 4' strips surface mounted and a fan that will hug the ceiling.
