    The best 75" Garage TV under $1000

    Just a heads up - I did a TON of research for the best 75" TV for my garage. During the day, the door is open and a lot of sunlight gets in. At night, I've got multiple LED strips lit up on my 8' garage ceiling. Both of these introduce different types of onscreen reflections that create havoc...

    [SOLD OUT] Hose reels at Tools Woot - air, water, electric, welding, etc

    I'm not up on the prices but it seems to be much cheaper than Amazon. I got this one to replace my harbor freight with its dry, rotted out hose. Coulda just replaced the hose but I was also upset with how difficult it was to get my HF to stop and lock when I was pulling out the hose. See all...

    Tall, thin and cheap?

    Would like to find something similar to the above that will fit in my 8' tall garage. I'd use it to store all those little tool boxes I have. You know the ones.

    Anyone have a US General Series 1 side-by-side with a Series 2? Roller Cabinet + Top Chest

    I've got a 26" Series 1 roller cabinet & top chest. And I'm thinking about getting a 44" Series 2 cabinet & chest to put next to it. I know the series 1 is only 19" depth vs 22" for the series 2.

    Is this from back when they were made in the USA? Seller wants $1300 and says they're brand-new-in-box. Were these high quality and worth the price he's asking?

    Wanted to DIY a whole-house water softener but this looks like a mess

    The three pipes running upward are for my water heater (cold, hot & blowoff). I'm guessing the mess at the bottom-right is where I'd have to tap into if I want to install a whole-house water cleaner. My pipes run under the slab and there's nowhere else that they pop up for access like this. Not...

    Why do I need a Dremel Drill Press?

    In a moment of weakness I bought this, thinking I'd use it for one particular project. I've since decided I don't need it to do that one thing. It's new in the box and I can just send it back to the seller for a full refund. Talk me out of doing that. Keep in mind that I'm a guy who's always...

    [AMAZON] Genie StealthDrive 7155-TKV WiFi Battery-Backup Ultra-Quiet Belt Drive Garage Door Opener $179.99

    I'm new to garage door openers, but my research indicates that if you don't need an integrated video camera or the highest HP available, but you do want WiFi, battery-backup and super-quiet operation, then this is the best option and by far the best deal. Normally $229 at Amazon (which was...

    Planning to close up my garage ceiling soon. And installing an electric garage door opener. It's a typical two-car garage. The upper area is like a typical non-accessible attic but I did lay down some small sheets of plywood to use it as a storage area. And I installed an access with ladder...

    Who has a 32mm socket and some calipers handy?

    Please measure the inside diameter of your 32mm socket. I'm guessing it'll be 32.2mm but need verification if possible. Have got a 32.5mm nut and need to order a socket for it. Could take it to the store but that would be a PITA right now.

    Hey folks, I need some help with drill bit set recommendations. This will be for drilling holes in my truck's frame to install suspension parts. I've got a carbide set that is working, but kind of slowly. And it doesn't go big enough. It goes up too 3/8 but I need a 7/16" and a 1/2" also...

    How do you use a Air Filter Regulator Combo?

    After several years of small air compressor, I upgraded to the big 80GAL/5HP type that does not come with built-in air regulator. So I bought a Air Filter Regulator Combo. It's a regulator + filter. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MSZOIN3/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I've got a couple issues...

    I'm rebuilding the front end and engine of my '94 Ford truck and have noticed some screw holes are starting to surface-rust up a bit.
