I searched and searched through several threads, but I couldn't really find a "yes, this is the place with a nice selection" thread. I saw that old thread of SBD starting USA production again, but no details on distribution. Most of the Sears around me have died. Lowe's is not too out of my...

Why have combination table/miter saws been a thing in Europe for a long time and not in the US?

Kind of like an attachment that you can connect to a 1/2" drive or attach to a drill on one end, and on the other end is a rod with a hammer head that is pounding in and out. Basically I need to pound some metal in, but I dont have a compressor at the location for my air hammer, and the...

Well that certainly looks *****. https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/car-technology/a26749440/mclaren-speedtail-3d-printed-snap-on-titanium-toolkit/?source=nl&utm_source=nl_pop&utm_medium=email&date=030719&src=nl&utm_campaign=16214769

Dealer talk comes up quite a bit here. I got curious and started wondering HMM. How much really goes into starting up a SO dealer? So I googled and: https://www.franchisedirect.com/automotivefranchises/snap-on-tools-franchise-07086/ufoc/ I have always been about the customer experience and...

Came across this while browsing. It looks like a set of older Craftsman stuff. There is one breaker bar that looks like a Plomb 5467? https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/tls/d/matco-toolbox-with-hand-tools-great-buy/6783742527.html It looks vintage. How old ya think? You guys can probably ID...

I love mine. One of the best tools I ever bought. I first thought these things were gimmicks with their tiny sizes, but they really do an amazing job at getting cars started, and they hold their charge well. I am old school and was only used to those massive jump starter boxes. This one in...

a phillips bit, a flathead bit, and a 10mm 1/4 socket. Anyone seen one with enough space in it for these 3?

There are plenty of toolbox threads, but I’d like to see before and after pics. Before any major organization when you had a toolbox you have outgrown with stuff spilling and pilling over it. I would love to see either a major reorganization or migration to a new box with new organization.

I am eyeing the Ingersoll Rand W5132 which has the same specs for the 3/8" and 1/2". I kinda like this model because of the hand and wrench tighten options. I currently have a mixture of 3/8" and 1/2" impact sockets (regular and deep) with the 3/8" going up to 19mm and 1/2" going up to 27mm...

My mechanic, who has been in business for 35+ years, gave me a nice little discussion the other day. He has tools from every imaginable professional tool company. I see Mac boxes, Snap-on boxes, etc. He told me he has actually been very impressed with HF's Pittsburgh line lately. He even...

Im a one-man band small used car dealership that needs to have the occasional car repaired. For easy things like most sensors, O2 sensors, brake pads, accessory belts, lights, etc (all the small time easy stuff) I have no problem at all replacing them. Big jobs or real pain in the **** things...

What is a good set with hard drill bits that wont wear down with light use? All I plan to do with the set is remove the occasional broken bolt out of a license plate holder in a car. I bought a Northern Freight Titan screw extractor set, and the reverse drill bit is already dull after a couple...

I have a Dewalt compressor 15 gallon 5.4 scfm 200psi. Even with the regulator at 110psi, my blow gun isnt that powerful. It is nothing compared to the cheek blowing force of other blow guns in shops, but I dont recall what tank/hose they have. I use 3/8" hose. Its a simple blow gun from...

I know not exactly a garage, but I am hoping some may have some insight. :) So which would best circulate cool air? Fans on each corner of a warehouse with a few fans in-between or ceiling fans to push down on the cool air so that the cool air can go up the wall and get recirculated.

Anyone bugged about that huge gap between the motor and the deck? Im here installing it and was like wait a minute. Whats this massive gap that the previous motor didnt have when mated to the deck. There a few videos of people installing the Predator on a mower and running it, but no one has...

One of this month's projects has been to remove the Chattahoochee from my front walkway. I started out with a 3" chisel and mini sledgehammer just to see how effective it is, and it worked just fine. Then I started thinking well why not just get an air hammer? Northern tool is closer to me...

I've been looking at those ceiling mounted shelves in Home Depot, but for the price they want those things I'd end up paying $800 for the storage I'd like. So I started thinking about making a wooden shelf but had a few questions on the mounting. For the vertical beams I was thinking 2x4s that...

I just found these in the back corner of my garage my father left behind with a set of 2 others. Made in USA and are nice and shiny. :) Problem is its missing a piece at the end of the handle that holds down the adjuster. I'm sure I could craft some fork looking thing for it, but I'm curious...
