So, after this weekend I've decided I need a new hand truck. The one I have is a dumpster pick that I put HF pneumatic wheels on - and it weighs as much as the stuff I'm trying to move...kinda done with it. So, I'm looking at Magliners on Amazon. Always have been impressed with them and I'm...

These are pretty much new. $60 shipped. PayPal only, please. Jeff Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thought we might take a look at the difference today. I've been doing some work on my lathe and decided that my no-name Chinese dial indicator needed replacement. It seemed kinda sticky and I've had it for quite a while but I'm far more educated about decent tools now, and I have a decent Noga...

Pretty sure they are punches of some kind, but I haven’t seen ones as large. Do these have a specific purpose? Thanks J

Kennedy cantilever Box, needs restoration or use as-is. I got too many projects for this to be a priority. You pick up, either in Highlands Ranch or Lakewood. J

Go–kart hub. The nut is off, but does it slide off or unscrew? Thanks in advance. J

Bought a new sliding compound miter saw today... A 12" sliding compound miter saw (Hitachi C12RSH2) and have a question about the runout of wobble of the blade. It looks a bit excessive, I'm measuring about .012-.015 of an inch - does this seem normal? The new one is belt driven, my old saw...

Today, for the second time in a couple of months, I popped a circuit breaker and could not get it to reset. It wouldn't flip off after being tripped. Wound up replacing the breaker, not a huge deal, but what gives? I had this happen on a different circuit in a whole different box just a short...

Hello all - I have an old Lab-Volt variable AC/DC power supply that I use occasionally. It's great, but also a pain. Has no voltage readout, so you have to use a multimeter to set it, and it takes up a ton of space on my bench. I'd like something smaller and I see plenty of cheap units...

Starting a new project today...the goal is to clean this up and use it as a "bar cart". Anybody work on these things or have some thoughts? Going to power wash it tomorrow. Wondering the best way to clean up the aluminum trim. Will probably "sticker bomb" the yellow panels, and build a...

Nothing really new, but I just thought I'd share. Was at the Sears outlet and they had a box of the pro screwdrivers for $2.50 each...bought a T40, short driver (probably useless) and removed the bit, drilled it out and stuck it on my HF roto, a ratchet I really like. Much more balanced now...

So I have upgraded my compressor, (now 30 gallon, oiled pump, dedicated circuit, nothing fancy) and have it in the corner of my shop. I want to plumb some on-wall/ceiling piping with copper, but I'm not sure what "best practices" are for running the lines. (I'm not referring to sweating the...

So, we get a lot of hail. I have the standard asphalt shingle roof on my house, and it needs to be replaced. What other options do I have? I can't put on a seamed metal roof due to HOA restrictions, but just about anything else is ok. Obviously structural work is out of the question, so...

GJ brethren - Anyone got a recommendation on a decent, inexpensive heat gun? I was using SWMBO's old hair dryer...but it's done. And I've got a project coming up...

Hoping to start a thread here about the good service that we get from tool companies - I just dealt with Extech, and it was fantastic. I bought a circuit breaker finder (on clearance at Sears) which didn't work correctly. Since returning it to Sears would have resulted in no replacement unit...

So, they fell out of my back pocket while I was working in the attic...and they landed somewhere in about 16 inches of loose-fill fiberglass insulation. Any ideas short of digging it all out? :willy_nil I'll probably just buy a new pair...but jeez... J
