Stay away? Jump on it if the price is good?

I went through a toolbox I don't open very often tonight... It belonged to either my grand-pa or great-grand-father. I may have some of the missing peices in another box I have not open for many many years.

I have issues with a compressor of mine. It's a small 110v unit. I'll plug the cord in the outlet, turn the switch ON, then the compressor starts working and building pressure in the tank. Fine, that part works. But all of a sudden, it stops working. The pressure switch should stop the motor at...

I think I read the name somewhere around here sometime ago but I don't remember what people had to say about the company or its products. Anyway... that's what I found this weekend. I'm not sure what make the 10" one is. There is no company name that I could find on it anywhere. It's built...

As the title states... how do you keep them clean? Mines are filled with shavings and whatnot.

I don't know if I got a good deal or not... but I think I got something decent. 25$ The jaw needs a bit of work, and the whole thing needs a fresh coat of paint, but other than that, it works fine. The handle is a bit bent, so I'll be replacing that tomorrow.

As the title states, I'm on the market for a bench top grinder. My budget is rather limited and I'm sales shopping at the moment. I know Sears has a few options, so do my different hardware/tool stores. I see 2 types of grinders available... 6" and 8". Are there any significant advantages...

Do we have an option like that? Would it be possible getting it? It shows you the threads you created or replied to, in the chosen number of days. It's vBulletin like here, although I don't know our version.

Here I go again ... :spit: I have 2 rather small compressors that are in good working conditions. Since they're so small their CFM ratings are barely enough to keep up with most air tools. I mean, I can use my impact for short periods of time, or I can even use a grinder for about 10 seconds...

What do you think? Have a look, or stay away? Anyone know if the distance between the posts can be shorten?

I need your input. If that thing actually works, it'd get paid for after I used it twice. I'm looking to mount car tires in the range of 15" and 16". Including tires with stiffer sidewalls. http://www.harborfreight.com/portable-tire-changer-34542.html

So I started playing with google sketchup a little bit today... attached is what came out. Center portion will be 1/4" steel plate for welding. I'm almost done fencing the backyard, so I should be able to get onto that project earlier than I thaught. The plate should be home when I get off...

So I've seen a few welding tables setups on here and they mostly all look nice and tough and sturdy and ready for war and able to carry a rocket. I'm just a hobbyist. I don't build rockets, I don't build dump trucks, so I don't really need a table to carry the load of a dumper. I currently...

I bought my-self a drill press a few years ago and used it maybe a handful of times... The thing has 5 speed settings that can be set by placing the belt in different channels on the pulleys. What speeds are good for what applications? Because I mean... how useful is a tool if you don't know...

Can someone tell me what difference is? Other that one sits up, and the other sits sideways? What can one do, that the other can't? :confused:

Short of being able to afford a complete garage rebuild, I start with a backyard shed to free some floor space in the garage. It will be a ready to assemble 8X9 shed, sitting on a 9X10 concrete slab. So today was digging day!

I'm sorry if I can't categorize it yet :lol_hitti This weekend I just felt the need to do something creative :headscrat So this is what came out of it... Obviously it can only tackle rather thin materials, but it should get the job done. It can even do angle cuts lol

Hey... it's my turn to show off my newly built welder's cart. I got sick and tired of having to lift the welder to carry it around the garage and to get it out from under the work bench, so I went ahead and built this basic cart for it. Its only purpose is to dolly the thing around as you can...

It's not my item but I figured I'd pass the word around. The seller is asking 0$ That's right... he's giving it away. If I had enough room I'd pick it up in a heart beat :( http://www.usedgatineau.com/classified-ad/11788379 If this is against board rules, feel free to delete my post

I'm about to put up my backyard shed and I'd like to have it sit on a slab. I did the Patio Stone Vs Concrete cost debate and it appears concrete would end up cheaper than Patio Stones set on top of stone dust. According to most online concrete calculator, I'll need 35 bags of 30kg to do my...
