Not a garage question, but I've got a stem wall going up on my new house. The tallest portion of the stem wall was initially built to about 6 or 7 feet, but that was a mistake, so more blocks had to be brought in to add another three courses (2 feet) of height. when the masons came today, I...

First off, I have read a boatload of posts here in the forum on this subject, and I'm only more confused! I've also looked at about a half dozen online voltage drop calculators and that still has me scratching my head :lol_hitti The calculators ask me what voltage is (120 vs 240), but which do...

15 bucks got me two Armstrong 1/2 inch ratchets, a set of Proto Professional sockets (number 5400 F) including organizer (7/16 to 1 1/4 inch) and also (not pictured) 2 regular sized USA vise grips, and an old Stillson wrench that looks to be in great shape.

Anyone know anything about this particular toolbox? Model 920. Looks like it has been on a shelf for a few years and not used. Is it old? I paid 7 bucks.

Littlestown bench vise. It is a 4.5" No.450. Any good? Guy is asking 30 bucks on craigslist

I've got a KRL7002APC that I'd like to put a hardwood top on. Other than the 27 21/32" x 53 23/32" top that SO sells for $384++, has anyone made their own? Other aftermarket (non-SO) options?

I just picked up a bunch of tools from a guy that seemed to have purchased a set at a student discount then figured he wasn't using most of them. Mostly wrenches, a general service set (1/2"), few sets of sockets, some screw drivers, allen wrench set, spark plug sockets w/wobble extensions, and...

When I built my garage, I didn't plan for something as big as a Millermatic 200, but I picked up a great Craigslist deal for it. Problem is that my dedicated welder outlet is 208V on a 30 amp breaker and the wire to that outlet is 10 AWG (As I recall, I used specs for a Millermatic 212 when I...

Guy is selling a Millermatic 200 which he says comes with 20ft leads. What does that mean "20 ft leads?" I've never owned a welder and looking to buy one to start. He says "excellent condition." What is a "steal" price for something like this? I've been looking at a brand new Millermatic...

In my search for a new (to me) tool box, I came across a guy that is leaving the automotive repair business and has offered to sell me his boxes (MAC Tools) and everything in them. Blue Point, Snap On, Air Tools, etc. Pictures are provided at the following link. His first asking price was...

Can you guys help me make up my mind on this before I drive to go look at it. It is a bit of a haul to go see it. $2,000 and is supposedly in like new condition. KRL7002APC. Anyone know how old this would be (approximately)?

Anything look like a good deal here?? http://tampa.craigslist.org/psc/tls/868840513.html

Paid 25 bucks for a box of miscellaneous stuff at a yard sale today. Took it home and cleaned it up a bit and noticed there was one Snap On tool that looks to be a harmonic balancer remover??. Anyone familiar with the wrenches. Looks like a pretty complete set of boxed wrenches made by KTC...

Got a line on this MIG welder. I am going to see it tomorrow. Seller says it is a year old but never used. Doesn't include gun or tank (not even sure if either was standard equipment when these were still being sold new. Was asking $900 bucks, but says he will take $600. Sounds like a...

I have a chance to pick this up for $200 bucks. But by no means am I a compressor expert. What do you guys think? Is it common to find service providers that would completely overhaul this. Or how easy would it be for me to get it in good shape? Supposedly it was working fine before the guy...

I had planned on putting a compressor just outside of my garage, underneath some stairs, and plumbing it inside. I put a 30 amp 220v plug there just for this purpose. But now the wife is having no part of that, since she claims the "outside" (i.e. yard) is hers and the inside (garage) is mine...

http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/bfs/824226974.html I was looking at a $1,300 IR 60 gallon 2 stage 5hp new compressor from Northern Tool, but came across this today. What do you guys think? Overkill for a home garage, or if I can pick it up for $750, would I be better off than the new IR?
