My wife needs a table on which to put a machine and that is height adjustable. The table needs to be able to be lowered to store beneath my workbench then pulled our and raised for working. The tool is a press for T shirts and etc. decorated with a Cri Cut thing and is too heavy to move on and...

I received, for some reason, an email from Grizzly, advertising some tools. I have heard of their name, but I have no experience with them. Question is, are they legit'? Are they selling good-quality tools, or are they more on the Harbor-Freight junky level?

I buy a tool if I have to borrow it more than once. Fortunately, my airplane mechanic lets me do a lot of the work on my plane, and there are a couple places I need a ratcheting stubby screwdriver. Which I don't have, so I borrowed his SnapOn. Any recommendations of what other ones people...

My old one is shot. Plus, I want one with an adjustable back support. I don't need a top-of-the-line expensive one, just use it several times a year underneath my airplane and I weigh in at around 150 lb. The Cornwell truck pulled up to the shop next to my hangar yesterday, so I talked to the...

My brother-in-laws dad died and this tool was found in his garage. We have zero idea what it might be. Only wild guess was a leather-working tool, however he had no known interest in that activity. Our brainstorming has come up with nothing. The three toothed discs rotate independently.

I have some deadbolts installed in my home that have those screws that one can tighten but not loosen. These screws are tightened with a flat-blade screwdriver but if you want to loosen, you cannot because of the way the screw is cast, the blade will just slip off. What kind of tool do I need to...

I need to order some tractor bucket forks. Anyone aware of a discount code or coupon for Northern Tool stuff??

Made my first Woot order when I saw the gas can deal on the forum here. This was two weeks ago. Still not shipped. Is this the norm for them? I am wondering whether they gather all the orders and hold off til the deal is over, or whatever. I am not worried, just curious, as it has been all this...

Not ready to spend on a new jack yet, but the time will come before too long. I have checked out the Hein Werner 2 Ton ad 3 Ton models [look pretty nice to me], looking online, and ran across the Costco offering of the PowerStation NOS 2 ton aluminum jack for $199 [shipping incl.]. I am not...

I've been planning my Racedeck stuff, the co. has been helpful, sending me the samples, etc. I just had a thought. Some winters, I end up using tire chains on my pickup, and I install them and remove them on the garage floor, where it is dry and I am not fighting snow to do it. Naturally. Am I...

I am considering building a regular door [you know, human-sized] in the side of the garage. I'm intrigued with the idea of building one of those doors which split so that you can open the upper half of the door and leave the lower half closed. So, I have no idea what that door style is called...

Just bought an IR 4.5-gal. twin-stack, that small 2 Hp one that is supposed to be portable. Model P1IU-A9. Anyhow, looking ahead, I've been searching both the IR site and the Internet for air filter elements and the synthetic oil [they ship it with IR All Season Select]. For the oil, I am...

Just bought a Bosch rotary hammer drill and started right out using a chisel bit in hammer mode to break out a shoulder of stone in one corner of my garden. This is the first hammer drill I've owned, and this is the first time I've used one. The reason for the post is that I find that the...

I don't have one. I rarely need one, but now and then it would really save the day. For example, I just got finished sweeping and soaking up a half-inch of water in a sunroom. I mean, the entire room was under a half inch on Mexican floor tiles. A shop vac would have really been nice. I...

I don't see where this has been posted, so.... I joined the Craftsman Club the other day and within days rec'd an email about some deals. The one here is the Mini-Pliers, a 3-pliers set with a cutter, a needle-nosed, and a long-nosed pliers. They list at $19.99, on sale for 9.99, Craftsman Club...

I have an 18" Ridgid and a 14" Globemaster pipe wrenches and both need at least a new heel jaw. Looking at the wrenches, I see that one can remove a pin and put in a replacement jaw. [knock out with a punch??] The Ridgid has no model # on it, and the brief search I've done so far on the web...

Did a search here and did not find an answer to this.....looking at a set of chisels and punches by Astro Pneumatics. I am not familiar with this co. and wondered about where their stuff is made and the general feeling about quality. I am not a pro and don't need something I can use hard every...

I am adding a tool chest and have been checking out the ones I can actually look at and touch here in my area stores. The usual suspects are, of course, the Craftsman and Sears and HD and Lowe's and those places, all of which carry what I have found to be tin-can junky stuff. In fact, I can't...

Recently I bought a new toolbox, and I need to replace the two fixed casters with swivels. I am forever pushing my tool chest back into corners, etc., where it is a royal pain to maneuver without four swivel casters. The distributor of my chest [the Costco "Kubota" model] is not interested in...

I have a carport which houses not only my truck but also has an area for my table saw, chainsaw sharpening stuff, etc. I poured the concrete floor probably 8 yr. ago now, and for the first time in concrete work I am seeing spalling in a couple of places, several feet square each. It is about a...
