Thought you might get a chuckle out of my apartment workshop. I live in the middle east in an apartment building with an underground parking garage. I missed my tools and workshop at home so I put together a hobbyist’ mobile workshop that can go up and down the elevator. Mostly, Williams...

I have a large 8" Snap-On Machinists vise which is essential a big red Wilton, beautiful vise you could grip a Pennsylvania class super-dreadnought in. I also have a beautiful Wilton 3 1/2 inch vise for smaller needs. Why on earth do I keep looking at them with drooling temptation on...

Many of you have probably wondered why your ratchets wear out prematurely. In the early days, I too did this wrong. Please ensure you always turn your ratchets off when not in use.

Which OBDII diagnostic computer would you consider the best overall device to own for engine and transmission diagnostics as well as adjusting the settings. The device would be primarily used on European and Japanese vehicles as well as some US. Thanks. Art

Occasionally my wife is friends with some woman that she wants to socialize with and get me interested in hanging as a couple so husband and wife come over for first social get together. Usually it is a meal with beer and a BBQ. All safe stuff. Well, at some point any man worth his testes...

Set me straight on depressing the pistons back into the caliper on an anti-lock brake system. I was told you should open the bleeder when squeezing the piston back in or you could risk faults or sensor errors in the system. Naturally I have always just squeezed the pistons back in regular...

I have a set of 5 or 6 Snap-On snap ring pliers. Had them since the late 70's still work fine like the first day I bought them. Well one of you cretins posted a query about snap ring pliers and one of you ingrates post a link to a set of Lang pliers at a ridiculously great price. I didn't...

I have most of these tools in one form or another, but I'd buy if I didn't. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPWQBPE/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Seen a few threads about how to protect pretty epoxy coated flooring from jacks, stands, bike lifts etc. WTH? While I understand pretty floors as part of a garage attached to a house (been there done that), if the shop flooring is too pretty to wrench on, you may have a mancave and not a shop...

I'm about ready to build a new shop at my house in Sarasota. Waffling between block built and insulated pole barn. Initial estimates oddly have not been far apart between the two. All the builders I have contacted thus far seem to be pie in the sky high. Does anyone here know of a good...

As you know, as aluminum boats with rivets age, they seep and leak. Nothing a bilge pump can't keep up with, but inconvenient when leaving a boat in the water. I think epoxy delaminates quickly and solder takes forever. Have any of you had your boat interiors sprayed with Linex (or similar...

I started seriously twisting a wrench 41 years ago. Every mechanic I knew had multiple sizes and types of vise grips in their box. They were as common as shop rags. All were made in the US. They were cheap and guaranteed, but you rarely warranted them because the torch or welder punished...

I have always used portable Honda generators for back up power for outages. I still have a couple, but mama doesn't have the stamina to wheel one over and hook it up in the middle of the night anymore. Thinking about wiring in an automatic whole house generator in the 20 KW range which should...

I wish I was in NH http://nh.craigslist.org/tls/5087644625.html

First of all, mistake was completely mine, not the vendors. I had been looking at the Hein Werner 3 ton floor jacks for quite some time. I notice that TW had what I thought was a better price than most of the competitors given the fact they had free shipping over 75 bucks. Fine print that was...
