    "Looks like your ad blocker is on"

    I have seen this a few times. I haven't added a specific one, nor updated settings on Chrome in the half-year owning this phone. Just mentioning. I will grab a screen cap later.

    One piece garage door hinges for outside gate

    I see single piece doors replaced with multi-piece doors on garage often. For an outside gate between a building and a block wall, is there any reason the E-900 hardware and P738 (dependent on weight) would have issues? The panel would ideally be full width and flush at the face of the...

    L-Boxx Tool-Specific Inserts Fitment - Old vs. New boxxes?

    I didn't think I would run into this. Sortimo had blue trimmed charcoal L-Boxxes on a good price. I bought a couple. I then bought the 2pc. 136 (L-Boxx 2) inserts for drill/driver and 1pc. 136 insert for 1-hand recip. saw (6.082.850.6D4) which lightly heated, allowed my Hackzall to fit. So far...

    Welder Worth - Tombstone Stick

    I looked at the first few posts here https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/used-lincoln-ac-225-5-stick-welder.482531/ A good friend gave me some info and linked to a current "Lincoln Electric AC225™ Stick Welder K1170" as "similar." Family member "has a Lincoln welder that uses the...

    Ko-Ken Interchangeable Nut-Grip Nut Driver 167C

    I want magnetic or nut-grip options to avoid dropping a taillight nut into a quarter panel. Narrowing things down, I want 1/4 dr. and at least semi-deep to clear studs. 3" long power shank bit nut-grip and magnetic are too short in an imp. driver. (but I could use a power bit extension...

    Bib Shutoff Valve, residential NG Water Heater

    Can I luck out and easily replace the shutoff center threaded piece (black, straight bit) ? Is it possibly a commonly available NPT part? We have a leaking water meter today too. City can deal with that.

    Hex bit retention, Proto 5441 1/4

    I hit the Glendale swap meet and these came home with me. Socket, no bit. They're drilled through. What originally held the hex bit in place?

    Smaller than 1/8 FIP fitting, water for icemaker

    The clear tubing going to the fridge/icemaker suffered a pinhole leak a day ago. I dragged one son with me to HD to shop tonight. Instead of the compression nut (?), flared tube stub@, and sleeve that were working, I picked up fittings to go 1/8 FIP to 1/4 FIP to barb. The 1/8 is smaller than...

    How to build a strong wood ring 27" x 1.25"

    I'm trying to fix a chair that's comfy (for large me) but broke. Pictures of the matching ottoman base and a "close enough" set should explain the general design. I figured veneer, glued, would be strong enough; maybe go thicker than original for strength? Any other design I should consider...

    Trick for two RH bolts in threaded hub?

    I bet there is a neat trick or tool for this. :bounce: I'm just trying to get both axle bolts out of the bearing hub sleeves. The bearings are ABEC-7, so when one is out, the other does not unthread; it just spins the bearing. Punch the end of the hub sleeve and use a pick to hold it from...

    Cutting Steel Shaft; Time to Upgrade Tools.

    I'm cutting an a-arm shaft to avoid messing with an exhaust header. It's probably semi-hardened, maybe 3/4" thick. I killed my corded Dremel on another job, and I killed my M12 cordless on this shaft. Yes, I use a Dremel too much. So . . . Will an oscillating tool and the right carbide blade...

    Keeping Corded Tools replaced by rechargeables

    I waited too long in life to get back into a cordless drill and other tools and don't plan on looking back9 Unless of course, I am in a bigger garage, with a need for pneumatics, like for body work. Last night, I set my 20yo Milwaukee Holeshooter in it's steel box, and my corded dremel back...

    Higher RPM Rechargeable Tool

    I want to run a 3M Bristle wheel (rated to 20 or 25000) faster than my (M18 or Holeshooter 1/2") drills allow. I looked at this: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=245834 And really, the side load wouldn't be huge, so I wouldn't be afraid to run a 4.5 angle grinder and...
