Hi all, this is actually for my home but the DIY nature of this forum leads me to posting here. I will be doing the work myself. Hopeflly I can buy the new units myself (being a non licensed user). My current dilemna is such. CNY location, family of 5 (3 young kids). bought this house exactly 1...

We are looking to buy/build a home in the adironack area of NY. The tax parcel will be in an area where it is ok to put up outbuildings. So, location is taken care of. Which also means natural gas is probably out. Propane, oil, wood, electricity would be the only availability. I have big...

I keep seeing the "Honey Badger 2" should be coming out in 2022. I believe this will be the newest mid range impact? I see they have DCF894 listed as "new" but my buddy bought these from home depot already last year at christmas. 300 ft lbs tightening, 600ft lbs loosening. is this it? What...

I have the GW Spline drives. Going on 2-3 years now. At the time all I could find in the super long flex ratchet box wrenches. Now I see these guys, flank drive 12 pt, I like! Who has them, and what are your experiences with them?

Currently the pole barn is not insulated. So ill be going thru a thin layer of corrugated steel for my side and up exit of my 6” single wall wood stove pipe. Is there a thimble product made for this kind of application? also do they make some kind of long supports for the chimney running...

Ill be mixing up some air crete and making a form so i can line the 5” cavity depth of my pole barn (3.5” width of main poles, 1.5” 2x4 purlins) with this mix. Its portland cement, shredded styrofoam, borax and foam all mixed together to form a very rigid, light, insulating and fire proof...

Im going to be ditching my mid length Mastercraft maximum for some nice high end extra long MAC or Snapon. I like the older knuckle saver/pre knuckle saver-before they had KS stamped in it. Don't care much for the precision torque, the open end bulk is huge. The snappys are great. I used the...

I have an 18” deep craftsman drawer i use for sockets. Alwya had 1 rail. Its has provisions for two. Initial detents are ok-a little tug is needed to move it and the tool weight. Any preferred brands of good slide makers? maybe even a push to open and soft close? heck ideally even a damper for...

Look, another socket thread from me! Im looking to pick up some 1/2 drive nano impacts. Looks like Astro and Husky are black oxide, but the sunex may be phosphate coated? FWIW I despise black oxide finish, hard to keep clean. Anyone have the sunex and can confirm? Sunex 2673

Found a set on ebay under a benz OEM part number. missing two of the original sockets but the price reflects that. Do I want these for 160? Do I want full chrome Snap ons used ~150? Currently have some cheap Titans which have done me no harm.. but missing 18, 20, 24 I work on Benz which loves E...

Just need the one 8mm socket. About 2.1” length. Xd6 mmr series. Price shipped to 48462, thanks!

I see snap on has these 3/4" tall sockets but they only come in 3/8 drve. Anyone else make chrome (or thin wall impact) 1/2" drive sockets in metric? High quality non chinas preffered.

Revamping my metric socket collection. Main go to are snapon semi deep 8-19mm. I like the shallow broach, and uniform socket height throughout the set. For the deep wells, i would like a deeper broach, as well as uniform socket overall height from the smallest 8mm to the 19mm unit. Perhaps...

I have narrowed down my ultimate 1/4 locking flex ratchet to these two candidates: Mac MR690LFK and GW 81015T I have a Matco locking 3/8 12", not interested in a 1/4 version of it (although the GW is very similar is just not a cheaper lock mechanism). What I like is to use only the 1 drive...

Maybe my googling is getting soft…i cant find anyone that makes a magnetic torx bit set. Looking for a set that is either 1/4” square drive or 8mm hex. or is there a low pro clamp on magnet you can put on a 1/4” extension that will be powerful enough to hold fasteners as well? Im not interested...

Im on the hunt to find the right 1/4" drive locking flex head ratchet, steel handle. Criteria are: 1) needs to be high quality. Minimum backlash, quality locking components. Head cannot get floppy (shouldnt matter with locking flex I assume) Thin profile everywhere, metal handle, at least 6"...

Had to pick this little guy up today. Has a 14” blade on it. The cam driven hydraulic lever system is broken. Dont know if its dry or a seal is gone. 0 hydraulic pressure in the system. Thought the internal cooling/lube system was very nice. It is quite small and compact. Arm does not feel like...

Im prepping this area beside my shop to accept a 45' long RV. It is 8.5' wide and 12' tall at its peak. The space I have to work with is 13.5' from pole barn slab to the fenceline (new fence will be installed...) Barn is 10' slab to rafter. and barn is 32' feet long. I have about 6 feet from...

Hello, I would like to have wifi coverage in my garage and shop. I have a CAT6 cable ran from my home's router to the garage, and one from the garage to the shop currently. My initial thought is to just get 2 cheap wifi routers and link them all via the hardwire. Can this work in general? Can...

Hello, i need to replace the control board in my ADP CUH45 heater. New control board should come with the 9 pin to 6 pin conversion harness. Its backordered with no eta. Im going to make my own but the picture i saw of it has me confused. I have the old original diagram, and this is the new...
