I have a pretty nice 12x12 Gazebo that I had built with a vented roof (so grills/bbq smoke doesn't build up). I've been spending a bunch of time in it and am currently using either one of those propane eyeball heaters and sometimes a solo mesa xl pellet stove thing. Looking for something...

I use smallish torx and allen sockets all the time. Mostly bicycle related, where it really should be torqued to spec (carbon stuff). I currently have a mix of vintage craftsman, tekton, etc and looking to get a defined set. Here's the thing, my most commonly used bits are t25 and 4mm hex. for...

An old MCL injury is rearing it's head. I'm at the age where I need to stop screwing around with heights. I have a couple of kobalts, a couple gorillas, I like the gorilla better. Looking for something super compact to keep in the vehicle. Anyone used these? They aren't available locally so...

See attached. Long story short, I have a GC doing a bunch of work. They are not good with detail stuff. This pre hung door came with the latch/deadbolt strikers misaligned. It's not worth making them remove it and I don't want a gorilla with dull chisels "fixing" it so I'm doing it myself. I've...

I am fairly invested in M12, Makita 18v and Makita 36v. My trusty Dremel that I use a couple times a week is getting annoying as one of my only commonly used corded tools. I have put a lot of effort into sticking with m12 and makita 18v and 36. I REALLY don't want to add another charger and...

I should have bought one of these years ago. CRAZY shockingly quiet. My only complaint, and it seems like a kind of insane oversight, is you can't store tools inserted into the top of the wheel supports. It must be some kind of crafstman patented thing...

No HOA. Most folks have brick mailboxes, which are banned in my city for replacements due to liability. An amazon/ups/whatever truck tapped my mailbox and I need to replace it. I went to home depot and was disappointed. Boring typical 4x4 t setup or janky steel/aluminum 3 piece post. Is there...

I live in Atlanta. I have a tudor style home that is (was) sided with 4x8 sheets of 70's compressed fiberboard garbage. Original install from late 70's was r-11 batt, r-4 foamboard, then the fiberboard for a total of r-15 to r-16. No plywood or sheathing or wrap. Just foam then fiberboard It was...

House was formerly on septic. Before I bought it, probably 10-15 years ago, it was connected to city sewer. There is a cleanout, about 10' from the road. I noticed today that the cover is lifted. I figured it was utility co looking for a meter. I go look at it, and the cover no longer fits...

I have a full set of T handle allen, tons of bits, couple sets of precision drivers. Over the last couple years, the allen stuff is now plated, almost chrome. And the coating flakes off if you breath on it funny. The sizing doesn't seem quite right, either a little loose or a little snug...

I use my SO ratcheting stubby all the time. I currently pair it with some random wiha set. Has anyone figured out a good case/bitholder solution for the SO screwdriver? In a perfect world there's a small case that fits the SO and 10-20 bits.

My home office is turning into a mess of tools. Due to the layout, the perfect setup would be a chest of drawers about 3' tall, 2' wide, 1' deep. Has anyone seen anything close to this size?

Searching, I find a lot of older threads about Permatex assembly lube ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HBNVSK/?tag=atomicindus08-20 ) Interestingly, Snap-On recommends super lube in their dual 80's. There is a massive, massive consistency different between this assembly lube (thin) and super...

I have a new Snap-On ratchet where sockets are a bear to get off. I know that snap-on sockets are easier to get on/off snap-on ratchets, but the reality is I have about 5 different brands of sockets that I use. Right now I have a socket halfway on, letting it sit with the detent ball depressed...

Even as a complete home gamer, I am burning through these tekton wrenches. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F512F7Y/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I have a Miata and run a second track Miata. They have a FWD motor installed a RWD car. Tons of stuff is very difficult to reach and essentially...

Looking for a 46-56" box, hutch, upper to replace my 90's craftsman box. The HF Icon is overkill, and more than I really want to spend. What is the best "step down" from Icon? Thanks

Aside from them being delicate (and I am careful with my electronic tools), I don't like that the harbor frieght braun light is not toolbox friendly as it doesn't fold. It's round so doesn't do well laying flat on the ground. I just want to try something new. I saw the snap on ecard062 but...

I'm looking for a new long handled 3/8" ratchet. More than 60 teeth, made in USA, and has to have a release button. I really like my wright 3430, but want something with a release button!
