http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/26/investing/sears-kmart-kenmore-craftsman/index.html Inevitable since Sears is clearly in a death spiral, but I wonder where it will go. A big box store? Existing tool company?

I have a bracket I need to mount to a 4" square tube with 4 3/8"X6" bolts. I'd like to protect the paint on the tube from being destroyed immediately by the bolts. I've seen protective sleeves on bolts before, but I can't seem to Google up a source. Everything I find is either metal or very...

About a foot long. Extends about 6" when you crank it and has measurements along the part that extends. Like a little jack.

Well I wasn't careful enough and cost myself $20 in Diesel fuel plus the cost of a fuel can last night. I'm pretty careful about flammables and ignition sources. I have a shed for hay that has no electricity and I store my fuel cans under the overhang in there. Typically have 15-25 gallons of...

A couple of years ago I bought a box of miscellaneous stuff at an auction. It had several sets of vise grip welding clamps on top which was my target, and I thought the rest of it was just boxes of nails and screws. I stuck it on a shelf during a cleanup and never dug into it. While doing my...

I was pretty happy with my timed auto-drain, but there is one little problem. Our dogs come unglued when the thing discharges! I used a 7-day timer to let it run an hour between 2:30 and 3:30am and between 2:30 and 3:30pm during the week, then every 3rd hour on Saturday and Sunday. It didn't...

Trying to help a neighbor whose ex hit the garage wall when he was moving out. Knocked the wall off the footer and brought the overhead door down. Got the wall back into place with some tractor help and scraps of wood, but the track for the door is twisted beyond reasonable repair. Thought I'd...

Over the weekend I noticed I have a bunch of jigsaw blades, recip saw blades, oscillating tool blades, grinding wheels, wire brushes, cut-off discs, hole saws, circular saw blades, drills, sanding discs and probably several other similar things stored pretty haphazardly. Recip and circular saw...

My dad passed away earlier this year, and I brought home the rest of my grandpa's tools. Going through them, I found the wrench pictured. What makes it valuable? It's the first mechanical tool I remember using. Helping my grandpa put a lawn cart together, I used it to hold the 3/8" nuts while...

Went to see a new home the other day. The garage has radiant floor heating, which seems nice. The question I have is that it was poured like a conventional garage floor with the concrete extending under the doors to the outside of the finished exterior wall. Seems to me this would be a source...

I've been thinking about building some cabinets for my shop, and one of the things I know would slow me down is lack of horizontal surfaces. What would be great would be a 4'X8' table with a flat top that is well supported so I could do marking, drilling, assembly etc.. I have a woodworkers...

Time to mow the pastures, and I got started sharpening blades last night. My old auction-bought $12 7" grinder seems to have a drive issue and the spindle is locking up on me. I need something different to get the job done. It's a 3 spindle mower, so I have to do 6 blades every few years. It's...

There are several things posted. Some are interesting if not terribly practical.

I imagine I'm like a lot of folks trying to get jobs around the house done in the evenings after work. I've been doing some siding work in the evenings around the house. A couple of hours every night. Not so bad, but I spend a big chunk of time dragging my tools out and then putting them away...

Know nothing about it and have no connection to the seller. Just thought somebody might be interested in a restoration. http://bloomington.craigslist.org/tls/4336611135.html

Found a HF 44" box, top box and two side boxes on CL. Like new condition and decent savings over new. Holy **** that thing has some steel in it! It's perfect for what I need. Quality is much better than the typical non-pro boxes at a tenth the price of the truck boxes. Nothing everybody here...
