    Has this happened to you here on Garage Journal?

    For some reason the GJ page changes to this after clicking a web address a member has posted for referencing a tool or something. This has only occurred a few times and I have only noticed it happening on this site. This is annoying as hell because I have to log out, close the page, start over...

    Milwaukee M18 Fuel Rant

    Ok, I want to purchase the M18 Fuel Hammer Drill/Impact Driver XC Combo Kit Model # 2797-22. Good news is that Home Depot still has the $150 off special going on. I also would like the M18 FUEL 7-1/4” cordless circular saw model # 2731-20 to use as the qualifying other tool. This is fine...

    Grout Bag Vs Tuck Pointing Gun

    Having done many projects using stone veneer and brick, but when it comes time to grout, hate life. I’ve always used a grout bag for this, but I’m ready for a change, something a little quicker maybe, or easier. I’ve seen these guns advertised, but not sure if their really any quicker, easier...

    What is considered vintage for this section?

    Is there a specific age for the tool or equipment that puts it in this category? I was just wondering for future use. Maybe something like an age requirement could be added under the heading so the newer or non vintage tools and equipment don’t mistakenly get mixed in. Just a thought, Thanks

    Plastic or metal coffee cans for storage.

    For those that give a rat’s ***, Yuban is back in metal cans again. Lol…Most of you probably could careless, but I like the metal cans. I don’t know about any of the other brands, but I’m glad they switched back to the metal container because when the coffee is gone I use the can for other...

    Cleaning metal with Muriatic Acid

    Muriatic Acid, has it lost its OOMPH! This is a cut n paste from “Free Parking” as not sure where to post this. Since I’m cleaning metal with it, I’m going to consider it as a tool… Lol Many times I have used muriatic acid to clean rust from metal and it has worked very well. Recently I’ve...

    Work bench top.…went to use an old door, but then this…….

    Got an old solid heavy door from a guy doing some demo work. He asked if I wanted it since he would be throwing it out anyway. I thought sure, it would make a nice top for my work bench especially since it is 1¾” thick. Be nice for doing heavy work on and mounting a vice (or so I thought)...

    “Suckage”

    I’m curious now and this looks to be the correct forum to inquire about it since the majority of it takes place here. I posted in Free Parking yesterday, but not much concern about “Suckage” rules over there. Here, it seems you guys take it much more serious and do have specific requirements...

    What have you built from an old bed frame?

    Looking for some ideas, I have a couple old bed frames I want to save for future use. The angle used in them seems to be of decent quality and could be used for making many things around the shop / garage. Please share what you've made or done with them along with any creative ideas of what...

    Update on boat trailer axle spindle repair (pictures)

    Hey guys, Thanks for recommending the Speedi-Sleeve seal repair kit. I had issues with water intrusion on my boat trailer axles. Needless to say, bearings and spindle took a hit from this. There was minor pitting where the seal rides and somewhat of a groove left as well. I like the idea of...

    Wear sleeves for trailer axle spindles

    Hi everyone, It is my understanding a stainless steel sleeve is available that presses on over the existing spindle thus giving the new grease seal a nice smooth surface. Anyone have experience using these repair sleeves?

    A little something for the air compressor guys….

    Just wanted to share this with you, it’s made my compressor and I much happier. I’m sure most of you already have something similar, but up until a short awhile ago I was just using some cut-outs from old mud flaps to help with vibration. While cleaning up around my compressor I looked at the...

    Purchasing something of lesser quality just to save $, then regret it later?

    For the most part, I have always believed in purchasing better quality merchandise as opposed to cheap just to save a buck. You know the saying: “You Get What You Pay For”. My father had taught me this early on and I have also learned this the hard way, or should I say the expensive way since...

    Binks Model 7 Spray Gun (anybody still using them?)

    Hi all, I’ve still got my old Binks 7 gun I purchased back in 1979 and my fathers old Binks 19 from 1965. I used these guns a lot when I was younger working on my own cars and for side money on the weekends doing spot painting and such for friends and friends of friends. Good money back then...

    Craigslist to the rescue!

    Well, I won’t have to thread the pipe by hand now! I’ve been wanting to run a new black pipe air line in my garage for a while and install a couple hose reels. I’ve decided to run the main line with 1” branching off with 3//4” and using 1/2” for the drops. I already have a Ridgid ratcheting...
