Through a mixture of alcohol and eBay, I have acquired, among other things, 2 dial indicators: https://imgur.com/a/XW6MmwZ Looking for recommendations for a magnetic dial indicator stand that fits my older dials. I’m a home gamer, so I’m not looking to pick up a industry grade mount, but at...

Sooo the lawn mower saga continues for those who saw my other post. Today I reassembled the Nikki carb for my B&S 44M777, and noted a lot of corrosion had returned to the previously cleaned surface. Apparently this is zinc oxide, and the protective coating on my carb is thin or gone. I had...

Prior to us moving into this home 6 years ago the garage brick wall had shifted and the crack was filled with some filler (old grey stuff) by some previous owner. This filler had a small crack in it, which I recently filled. The old stuff feels like a firm but is slightly pliable. I recently...

A while back I picked up a non functioning Armstrong torque wrench for a few bucks. Figured I would take a look inside and see what was going on. Got it open today and it's pretty rough in there...piles of rust dust fell onto my bench and the grease had deteriorated into sticky muck. Decided it...

Hi...hoping to get some product recommendations. I have been trying to strip a sealer off my concrete sidewalk so I can apply an acrylic sealer I have selected. Concrete has some type of sealant which is aging and needs reapplication, but I have no idea what type it is. Figure it would be...

Hey All...I am looking for some advice on what to do with my sidewalk. It is a newer walk, and it probably has only been sealed once. It appears to have some glossy/tinted sealant which is starting to break down and needs to be redone. I've done some reading and I've found that to apply new...

Been looking to pick up a generac pressure washer and the 6598 model went on sale at Menards for $349, from $399. Lowes and HD both price match and give a 10% discount, bringing final pre-tax price to $314.10. Think I'm going to pull the trigger. Seems to be a common model available at Menards...

Hey everyone...I have a problem that I don't believe to be unique, but doesn't appear to have been discussed in detail on Gj. Like many homes, mine has a basement. And in this basement there lived a cat, which was at the end of its life and liked to piss EVERYWHERE. This cat happened to...

Hey Everyone.. Noticed there was a small puddle of water in the light fixture for my bathroom fan. Pulled it down and it appears to be coming from the side of the fan. Went up in the attic and did not see any leak paths coming from the roof. I did feel moisture on the bottom of the vent tube...

Hi everyone...I plan on building a picket fence this spring and am trying to determine what type of nail/screw I should use. If I end up using a nail, it should be a galvanized ring shank, which leads to another question: is there a recommended style of galvanized/ring shank nail? All I can find...

Hey everyone....I am tired or risking my head with my 2.5 ton sears jack and need something with a higher lift reach anyways. I see some mentions of this HF 3 ton low profile jack on here and some people seem happy with it, but on their website the reviews are "eh"...I also understand more...

Popped up on my local CL. Not sure if its legit or if someone took a piece of plywood and spray painted snap-on on it (this may be what just happened to occur in the factory, actually..). Anyways, not sure if it has all 4 casters. Thoughts? I mean, its kinda cool. I wouldn't throw it down and...
