    Hypertherm Powermax 30-xp

    For sale is my Hypertherm Powermax 30-xp plasma cutter. Bought this last year and used it one day on an off-site project (didn't want to drag the bigger Powermax 65 along) Excellent condition, complete with the exception of the gloves originally included in the package - they didn't hold up...

    Something to be said for HF...

    I know, there's lots of Harbor Freight bashing on this site, and to be honest, they're generally not my first choice when shopping for tools. However, I have discovered one redeeming value to HF: they stock a much better selection than almost everybody else. I spent all morning running around...

    Hoist is FINALLY done!

    Took 4 months, most of that time waiting for the hoist to ship, a week waiting for concrete to cure and the neighbor to return from vacation (so we could use his front end loader to place the hoist), but it's finally done. Bendpak SP-7x, mounted flush in the floor. By the way, if I had to...

    Garage overhaul has begun...

    Along with actively trying to get rid of clutter, I've actually taken steps to turn my garage into a workable space for both storing and servicing the cars! Kind of amazing, considering what a mess it's been.... Ordered a high-lift conversion kit for the door from DDM Garage Doors, should be...

    HF 5-drawer cart, Ypsilanti Michigan

    Well...I bought one of these because of the great feedback they get on GJ, and it really is a nice cart. BUT, I have too many boxes and not enough space! Cart is unmodified (crazy, I know!) and has seen very light use. Has some very light scratches on the top from setting things there - I'll...

    Thoughts on life after "SK day"

    Still waiting for my order, but that's cool - I know they (HJE) are workin' hard and I'm in no hurry. Eager, yes...but in a hurry, no. I keep checking in on the SK-day sticky and reading the updates, and I see a recurring theme, i.e. "When is the next *** day?" Like everybody, I love the...

    Home Depot WTF?

    Sometimes I just don't understand those folks... Stopped on the way home to pcik up a couple of items I need for tomorrow (not my 'regular' store) Browsing the isles in the tool department, I noticed on the bottom shelf 3 Husky right-angle die grinders, marked down to $14.80 from $49. Maybe...

    Mac air hammer

    What's anybody know about the Mac air hammers? Going tomorrow to look at the one pictured below, listed on local CL. Are they reliable, better or worse than others? Price is right, includes some chisels etc., just wondered what the general opinion of them is. Thanks in advance for any...

    Unsolicited feedback for 'Skin'

    Bought an item from Skin, per his listing in the Classifieds. Sent the money via PP last night, he shipped it today. On top of that, he even sprayed the wrenches with a light coat of WD-40 to combat the miserable humidity we've been enjoying lately. My previous purchase from him was handled...

    Small score today

    Had a little time between jobs today, so I stopped at the local Habitat Restore. A little digging turned up the following: 22 Cornwell impacts (most 3/8" drive, + 3 1/4" drive magnetic drivers), a 7/16" Cornwell wrench, and a wrench for the O/A torches. Put it all on the counter and asked the...

    What's the skinny on Williams tools?

    I know they're owned by Snap On, I know they are generally very well regarded as good tools. What I don't know is what the target is, i.e. are they intended to be a lower-line/less costly line for Snap On? From what I hear of the quality, that theory doesn't make sense. Or maybe it's a line...

    GFI's in series?

    Working on a kitchen for a customer the other day - he had installed 3 GFI recepticles in series, evidently not realizing that the first would protect everything downstream. Intuitively, this seems to me like it could/would cause problems, but I don't know if that's really true. Seems to be...
