Is there a new current gotta try it .030 flux core wire you guys are using? Need some for a project later this week and figure its worth asking - had some INETUB that worked well but anything else good out there with low spatter?

I have a set of garage door tracks - minus the bends I cut off so I could just store the straights. I couldn’t get myself to toss the tracks, but are there any good/cool/useful ways to reuse these things or am I just being a packrat?

Going through some of the old tool boxes Ive gathered over the years and found these. The small Ridgid wrench kind of cracked me up next to the big Channellock pliers.

So I can grab an unused Zap Butler opener for $250 and Im wondering if it is worth picking up and installing. Any problems or hassles that would make you stay away from them? Here is a link I found...

Anyone have any input good, bad or otherwise on the 3.5 ton Carlyle floor jack? https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NLE7916440 Ready to buy the HF Daytona unit when I saw this one. Is this Carlyle only or is it one of those that is sold under a dozen different names/colors?

Is there a simple, fairly inexpensive way to capture how many hours my shop heater runs? I'd like to track it for the season out of curiousity if it's not a big deal to do. The unit is direct wired (no plug) 7kw and 240v on its own circuit if that even matters. I was going to add a smart...

I have a King KBP-2406 240v electric heater and I think I want a remote thermostat for it. Anyone know if it is doable and even better, can I control one with an app from anywhere? Does it have to be 240v or is there a way to do this with low voltage? What do I need and how do I do it?

I want to have at least 3 Security cameras on my property. I'd prefer to not deal with running video cables, but they will be near power. I would like them to monitor motion and store video for at least 7 days for free and be iOS accessible. Doesn't matter too much to me if it is cloud or NVR...

I am really considering these two boxes as I have pretty much run out of tool storage. I'm getting rid of the box I have and I'm starting over. Either one of these will be enough storage for me, but I'm curious what you would choose and why. HARBOR FREIGHT BOX HOME DEPOT BOX My thought is...

My garage floor got a coat of Home Depot/Behr concrete stain about 5 years ago and needs to be coated again. Stain has worn off is spots - no peeling really, just wore off. My goal was for an easy floor coating to control how much this floor was dusting that wouldn't peel. It worked out pretty...

Really considering having sheetrock installed for my detached garage ceiling. Don't know if this is a bad idea or not, but only concerned about moisture build up or problems. Walls are already insulated and plywood covered and the two bay doors are insulated steel type. -Everything is 16" o.c...

Just got a call from MIL about new to her condo. Two switches for kitchen ceiling light. Switch 1: turns light on and off fine. Switch 2: if 1 and light are on, up and down with 2 leaves light on. If 1 and light are off, up and down on 2 pops breaker. What is causing this to happen?

Looking for the best heavy duty shop stools - either low or high and either with or without wheels and with or without padding and either adjustable or fixed height. What do you have? What do you wish you had? What do you suggest? I'd love to find some nice strong stackable padded low ones.

I have an old Milwaukee 6145 angle grinder with a s/n of 627-19730. I think it is late 80's early 90's from what I can tell and the paddle switch keeps hanging up after I release it and stays running. Worth getting the switch replaced or is there a simple fix for these? Or is it time to cut the...

Anyone else have big time page rendering problems with the forum after updating to iOS 8? Big banner graphics with every post. Makes the forum almost unusable in Safari.

My son has a small airbrush compressor that is almost silent. I borrowed it to try on the Bendpak lift I recently got, to open the air cylinder locks. The thing works perfectly and even has a regulator to dial in the correct psi needed. It builds the pressure needed to release the locks in just...
