OK so I did a little searching around and I also read the Branick manual for the 7200. The manual say use 3/8" bolts to mount the assembly. I have 2 questions. How long should the 3/8" lag bolts or carriage bolt be if I'm going to mount them into wood and how large of a piece of wood do I...

Ok guys, I am looking for some help/a sanity check. I have these 2 SnapOn cabinets and I need the floor space the lower one is in. In order to reclaim the space, in my head it seems like a good idea to mount the lower cabinet on the wall behind the upper cabinet and have the upper cabinet in...

So the structural rework on my garage is all done. I had a giant LVL beam put in across the peak of the roof and the rafters/collar ties were moved up even with the bottom of the beam. I've got about 14' 10" of clearance from the floor now. The whole point of this (as you might have guessed)...

After a LONG time, I finally got myself a Snap-On CJ2000 master puller set. I've been looking for off and on for a KRA276 wall mount cabinet with the plexi window. At this point, I'd be fine with one that didn't have the plexi window. I've also given up on trying to buy the board to hang the...

I have a ton of different specialty tools that come in blow molded cases. Things like puller sets or specific testers and whatnot. Today I have them in some wooden shelves which are VERY old, probably covered in led paint and need to be replaced. I'd like to get something that goes more...

I have a pair of tuffsheds which will be used to store stuff but I live in an area that gets over 110 every summer. I'd like to give the stuff I store in my sheds some protection from the heat. Also I'd like to be able to spend some time in there to organize things or get larger objects in and...

I haven't bought any Cal Van in a WHILE. I'm looking to buy a harmonic balancer installer kit and their 38500 kit seems to be very complete. I never had any major quality issues with their stuff in the past but it wasn't usually super nice either. They claim their stuff is made in the USA so...

So I'm in the market for a new floor jack. I've owned this Ranger but left it with my parents: http://www.asedeals.com/store/ranger-floor-jack-low-rider-super-long-rfj-3000lpf/ My piece of junk floor jack that I've had since I was a punk teenager that I brought with me when I moved is on its...

I'm looking to buy a vice for myself to use. I want something with some serious holding power. I was thinking something in the range of a 6" to 8" opening. I'm happy to buy a used vice, I just need to know what I should be looking at. I want to buy this once and have it forever. I'd like to...

I'm looking around for an OTC fuel injection service kit so I can actually use the fuel injection canister cleaner I bough (not realizing I bought the one that didn't come with the basic fittings kit) and I came across this on ebay...

I'm thinking about buying one but I don't know much about them in general. I would want one that can do motorcycles as well as cars. I don't know if I want to buy one new as these things ain't cheap.... Any recomendations ?

I have had so much trouble using regular wrenches on these damn AN fittings I'm now willing to try out the actual AN wrench to see if it helps. I don't really know what is a good vs crappy AN wrench. Right now, I only need a size 10 and I like the design of this guy here...

I was working on my friend's car this weekend and we needed to use a taper tap to move the seal point on a bushing so that we could get the fitting screwed in further. This was due to space constraints. Luckly we ran into a plummer at the store where we bought the fittings and he did it for us...

I want a pressure washer that is going to last for a long time. I've looked around and found that basically all the cheaper ones brake easily and I wasn't really interested in an entry level one as it is. I want to be able to clean the oil out which has soaked into some concreet at my parents...

Anyone ever seen these ? Apperently some people in the UK have them on their fixed gear bikes and such. One of our customers has 5 sided allen screws which holds computer chassis into the mounts. Any idea where I could get a set of these ? We only have 1 key left that came with the set and...

My dad bought these somewhere and has no idea when or where he got them. We have been using them on projects for years and they have been awesome. I'd like to get one or two of these for myself because of the extra purchase they provide over a standard type of needle nose pliar. We call them...

I want to buy a good set of transfer punches. I don't want to spend a huge amount of money on them but I do want a quality set. I was wondering if anyone had any specific recommendations. Also, do I need to buy this type of tool in both SAE and metric ?

Ok, I did a quick search and didn't find anything so I'm going to post a new thread. I just bought a house with a friend and I now need to move all of the car parts I have stored at my parents place to my new place. Unfortunately, oil/grease has made its way onto the concreate under my spare...

I'm looking at geting a 1/2" cordless impact driver. I'm looking around and the best one seems to be the Milwaukee 28v but it is also a bit pricey. I'm planning on using it in the junkyards to take parts off of some 60-70s F100s. I'm wondering if I really need an impact or if I can get away...

I think I finally convinced my parents to buy a generator. Temperatures have been breaking 110 easy here the last week and there have already been power outages in near by cities. I'm looking for something that can run a larger refridgerator and hopefuly the down stairs AC. The first place I...
