From my last thread, I bought a Bosch 12" sliding compound. I didn't want to add to the thread and cause confusion. Anyways, I got the saw. Haven't tested it yet. One thing is bothering me though. For those that have it, when the arm is locked to prevent "sliding" for chop cuts, does your arm...

Thanks everyone, going with the Bosch. I need a new miter saw. I have a HF(old red one) that has served me okay for 8 years. But I need to upgrade. I have mostly dewalt tools and don't have an issue with them, but I am seeing mixed reviews on their models. Mostly model number shenanigans. That...

Came across some older tools(pre 40s) and pulled these wrenches out. From left to right. Frank mossberg co. Wrench 5" Hub wrench? 9" Can't make out looks like a large diamond. Made in U.S.A warranted. 8.5" Cobs wrench 8.5" Cobs wrench 10" 13" wrench ? & N B(or R)Y Trimo 8" Trimo 12" pipe...

I know not garage related but really looking for opinions here. I live in Upper MI and I need to replace my hot water heater soon. I only get about 15minutes of hot water(they only last about 5 years here do to the harsh water) that's with just taking a shower nothing else running. My house is...

I want to "redo" the laundry room in my basement. When I first bought my house there was NO moisture at all down there. After the first year there has been:confused: The house was vacant for probably 5+ years. But anyways, the laundry room has the tile flooring like the kind in schools. I...

What is the trick to using this ****?:headscrat Bought some to use on old porch swing brackets and when I spray it on it goes on like normal paint unless I put it on thick. Then when it dries only certain areas are "hammered" looking but smooth to the touch(I thought it would be textured almost).

Someone might have some insight on here so figured I'd post. Long story short I ran across 6 boxes for $18ea and couldn't pass it up. Plus my kitchen needed a new floor. I think I'm going to go with nailing. My question is, should I go with an 18ga or 20ga gun? My kitchen has old linoleum...

Was looking at a Planer as one would come in handy for something I have planed. Comes with another set of blades but the guy wants $150 firm. Seems like a lot. Says it's in excellent condition but doesn't look so in the pictures.

Only place I could think of to ask this. Long story short my house was half *** renovated before I bought it. All the trim work inside the living room was replaced with oak. Well, when they put sheetrock in, they used a spray gun to paint the walls and very poorly if any masked the...

Bostitch BTE820K 7amp but $50. 10amp D28402K $95 Aren't they both made by the same company and in china? I need a new grinder as my one I used to use is my brothers.

Does anyone know? My Kmart has 1 SAE, and 1 Metric set left of the offset ones for $30ea. They say Made in USA on them. Wondering if I should get them before someone picks them up. I think they're still made in the U.S though? And I might wait until they go on sale.

I have the older "V" series with the metal push button releases. I don't have a sears near me and NO WAY in hell I am paying $15 each for a new one. Would just go to HF and buy new ratchets. Anyone know of a contact number or email? I tried online but couldn't find one and nothing I could see...

I hate having to go to the hardware store and buy 2 set screws for around a $1 Where do they get there assortment boxes from?

Just bought a 17pc set today. I obviously overlooked one when checking them out. Hopefully I can exchange it without bringing them all back.

Cracked a Craftsman and Snap-on socket. Friend just sent me this picture. Asked if he was using an impact. Said he was just using his own 2 hands. I guess the Snap-on couldn't handle it either.

Says they have a lifetime warranty. Sent them an email a week ago with no reply? Mine will keep shutting off randomly. Will work fine one day then the next go off or keep flickering. Have to hit it in the palm of my hand to get it back on. Don't think its the bulb.

I don't see any posts about it on here:dunno: Does anyone have one that has been using it for a while? How is it holding up? All I can say about mine is I left it in my car at work when it was -16 outside and it spun up perfectly in the cold and I haven't charged it since.

I had an ad looking for tools and a guy messaged me to come take a look. The house was disgusting, reeked of marijuana guy was in his 40s or so and high. But had about 5 yellow craftsman tool boxes full of about 40 wrenches, 3 vice grips, 30 or so screw drivers, mini plier set, set of 5...

Long story short, I had a Companion tool set with a 1/4" 3/8" 1/2"(Sold by sears before craftsman switched to China) Well, my 1/2" ratchet disappeared. I used and abused that thing alot. Using it as a breaker bar with a cheater bar etc... and that thing lasted through all of it. Tried finding...

Thinking about getting this, anyone ever used them? Opinions? Was gonna go with the craftsman ones, but the metric sets seem to be double the price of the SAE and the cheaper ones are only 7pc sets. Also, unsure of the gearwrench warranty. Seems to be hit and miss. I have a GearWrench pass...
