    Uneven under garage door

    I have blacktop on my garage floor. It is uneven at the door, high on the sides and low in the middle. The gap goes from 0 on the sides to 1-1/4" gap in the middle. That gap is below the existing stock rubber weather stripping on the door. Can anyone recommend adjustable weather stripping.

    Inside asphalt sealing

    Gents, We're down-sizing to a condo with a asphalt floored garage. The blacktop is about 12-years old stained and dirty. I would like to power wash and seal with J-16 coal tar asphalt sealer. Looking for chemical resistance and ease in cleaning. Auto and boat projects will provide plenty of...

    Moen bath faucets from the box stores...

    Racedeck Scrap

    Just finished install last night. Have a box of maybe, 15-20 lbs of scrap of 1-color. Do the Racedeck folks want this back? Seems they can just throw in in the pot with the other graphite color when making new tile. Is it recyclable?

    Harbor Freight Radiant Heater LP adapter

    Just purchased this heater and since this is from China the regulator has the old POL tank fitting. Can't change the pig tail because the regulator is variable, that's how your regulate the heat.

    Worn out GFI??

    Some of my basement lights are wired through a GFI in my master bath 2-stories up in my house. Don't know why it's wired this way. When I switch on my work bench lights I sometimes trip the GFI. Do these wear out and become more sensitive? The lights on my bench are 2 X 4' T-12 Fluorescent...

    Getting ready for RaceDeck

    It's been over a year. The Ladyship said all my designs were too Nascar. I said she can take here fung-schway BS and cram it. That was real productive so the project was shelved for a year. Finally compromised on a design. The Racedeck folks have been real patient with us. Getting ceiling...

    RaceDeck or SupraTile

    Here on the East Coast we have huge swings in dew point and I occasionally get condensation on my garage floor. I'm torn between these systems and like them both but I'm concerned about how each would do with moisture. The syn fabric underlayment would be required with RD plastic tiles because...

    3-Pc Ratchet Set

    For the home DIY guy don't think you can beat the HF swivel head ratchets. Problem is they don't sell them in a set. Does anyone know of a 3-pcs set, 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2 in padded or bare handles at the HF price?? Really on a tight budget.

    Pry bar setq

    Gents, On a tight budget and looking for inexpensive but quality pry bar set. I'll never have a need for anything over 24" so a 3-piece set should be fine. Problem is the spread in pricing from $10 for HF set up to $100's for a SO set. So can anyone recommend an inexpensive but decent quality...

    springing for a SO Instinct Screwdriver Set

    Do you guys prefer the soft or hard handles and why?? Recall reading a post from a guy that swore the soft handles got softer with age. I can't afford to spend that kind of money and be disappointed 6-months later after I get brake fluid on a handle.

    Snap On screwdriver set

    Looking for used sets. Seeing some used sets on ebay along with some used sets. Seems the sets hold their value when they are complete with the original case. I have no need for the case and looking for sets sans case. Are the new sets on ebay fakes? Some seem a little cheaper than off the...

    Sunex 8035 Tool Cart

    Really like the HF Red 5-drawer, but having sliding lids is really appealing. This cart is about $100 more and I'm willing to spend the extra money, but I've only found 2-reviews on Amazon. They are favorable but I'd like more feedback. Anyone have any experience with this cart? Do those...

    1/4" drive allen head sockets, metric

    Anyone know who makes a set like this? I've seen SAE but not metric. I'm phasing out my 3/8" stuff; broken too many bolts with my ****-*******. Not a pro just wrench on the KTM, Harley, etc.

    HF 1/4 Stubby Ratchet

    Just got my little stubbies with swivel heads. Not too bad for $8. Ratchet mechanism is a bit tight and can't see how they come apart. Any ideas how to lub it up to make it quieter and less binding? Little oil in through the socket release?

    Just saw that thread about 1/4" deep wells. I thought I was the only one to use 1/4" drive almost eclusively. Yep, I've snapped my share of bolts from ****-******* a 3/8" ratchet. Problem with the 1/4" ratchets is I keep hitting the direction changer thingy. Looking for a 1/4", fine tooth...
