I acquired a few boxes of miscellaneous tools and this was among them. I might have something else that goes with it but don't know what it is. The three pieces feel like cast aluminum, about 5-6" long. Any thoughts?

Can anyone tell me what can be done to fix a drawer that wants to self open? Where the cabinet is normally parked isn't level but all the other drawers on both lower and upper stay closed.

My 98 Frontier with 2.4L 4-cyl. died recently. Upon taking it apart, it was obvious the lower timing chain guide and tensioner were destroyed, with lots of pieces deposited in the oil pan. The chain never actually broke so plan A is to fit the cheapest aftermarket timing chains, sprockets, and...

My shop is relatively new, all pre wired and finished. Now that I have an increased requirement for air, my dedicated compressor circuit should have been 8 ga. min. I'm stuck with the approximately 60' run of #10 and the 5 hp, 60 gallon , 2-stage isn't going to happen. I can surely get by...

My lift has been installed and works fine going on three years now. It is a standard XPR-10. I took a Sharpie marker and made some marks on the column exactly where the carriage is positioned when it locks. I did this out of fear of what might happen if it was lifted to the max, thinking that...

I have yet to use a support bar but plan to use one on a 01 Accord while dropping the transmission. Most pictures on the net show the supports sitting down in the fender joint but a few show the supports on the strut towers where there is considerably more strength. This is where I would place...

I am looking for a Stanly #6 plane. I have two #5's- one smooth and one corrugated. Would like to trade one of them, both are excellent and I have no preference.

I first want to say I'm no welding pro but have had a Lincoln AC machine for many years. I was recently fabricating a fence stretcher for chain link and ran out of 6013. The brand was US Forge and was probably 10 years old or so, in a dry shop but no special protection for storage. I needed...

Have been installing chain link around the entire property my shop sits on (209 x 209) I feel pretty confident about what to do to install the fabric (6'0 tall chain link) but am wondering if I can go the whole 200+ ft. in one stretch. Or should I stretch it at half way point, adjust the fit...

A co-worker raved so much about a new hack saw he bought so I went out a got the same one. Up until then I had some real pieces of **** so this one was a cut above anything I had used previously. Well that was about 1975 almost 40 years ago and this one is still going strong. Like most...

Got a call from somebody I built a garage for. Have done some other renovations for these people as well and they decided to see if I could help. Do you think it might be the pressure switch?

I'm looking for a closed quick connect tire inflation chuck that will work without the valve stem core in place. Do these exist or will I need to get an open type and connect it to a lever operated inflator. I have a Coats 10 10 without any tire inflator and would like to set beads without the...

Is there any benefit to drilling the holes clear through the slab? If a bolt ever broke it could be driven clear through and replaced. Just curious and about to start drilling some holes.

With kids out on their own, I started building a new garage with apartment last October. Carpenter by trade so not new to construction and doing the complete project pretty much solo. Was drawn to this site while researching ideas and blown away by all the info. Hope to learn here and of course...
