    1966 Fairlane Wagon Journey

    My journey started back in August. I have been wanting an older ford, something from the 60's but a little different. I stumbled upon this little wagon on Facebook market place and decided to give it a look. I rode up to Columbus Indiana on a hot day at the end of August and kicked the tires...

    Opinions for DW872 or comparable saw for metal fabrication

    I am looking at getting the Dewalt multicut saw and was wondering what the opinions are from other fabricators. I am looking at the $400 price range. I don't mind buying better blades if needed but I want something that will produce repeatable precise cuts. I am willing to go up to $600 if there...

    Good battery charger / starter

    I am in the market for a new one. My old battery charger finally decided it didn't want to work anymore so I am shopping around. I got an email flyer today from Rural King and they had the Schumacher Se50 on sale for $30. It used to be a good brand, what is the general consensus on them now?

    Chicago Pneumatic Turbo 7750

    Does anyone have any experience with the CP turbo 7750 impact? I picked one up at the pawn shop for $90 and it looks like it has never been used. The threads for the air inlet seem untouched and the anvil doesn't look like it has been used either. The reason I ask is when using it, I can hear...

    Flex Head choices

    So, if you could only buy one type of flex head wrench, what type would you buy? The socket head type or just plain box end? Bottom line, which would serve a automotive mechanic better? I am thinking the biggest factor would be the socket end providing offset and the box end having a slimmer...
