    Concrete Yoda?

    Interesting. No idea myself, guy seems to know what he is talking about. Seems to have good explanations, why I see most of the concrete problems I am seeing nearly every where. I spend hours per day standing around on concrete somewhere, so now I'm starting to do the post pour "analysis", even...

    Garage Air line Kits.

    I don't recall ever seeing a product kit like this and if there were discussions here, I missed them and can't find them. Maybe not this exact setup, but is there any reason this type of air line (and fittings)would be a bad idea for a home garage? :dunno...

    Ceiling mounted garage hoist

    Maybe this is an FAQ. I really didn’t find much by searching I found a pickup bed Dolly, to do the rust work, but it sits high.. right right now. I’ve been lifting it with an engine hoist, but it’s gonna take a bunch of goofing around to get it up high enough to sit on the dolly. I think I’d...

    Small Diesel Heaters

    I did do some searching here, if there is much talk, could not find much. :dunno: Seeing sub-$200 small diesel heaters advertised, wondering how they perform and what amount of fuel, they consume. Three car garage. I do have a 20K btu salamander, but it's pretty noisy and non-vented (kero not...

    20 Minutes of Craftsman Drama

    Watch it or not, does have a few interesting points, but a lot of it is more of the same. :dunno: "time marches on!" seems to be less of a thing and even though most tools are made overseas, it appears to be more about a personal betrayal. My family almost never purchased from Sears (too...

    Meme Tool Purchase

    Never did figure what that even meant, but I believe it included this set. :dunno: Not sure how much I’ll use it but it won’t take much space, in the tool box. Seems pretty well built for tiny stuff. HF star employee says if anything breaks, they’ll replace the whole set. $25 today only

    I have 3 pots with some really nice succulents, that have done real well outside over the summer. Never had good luck storing them in the basement, discovering that they need light while stored. Anyone use reasonable priced LED grow lights, if so do you run them on a timer? Thanks

    Best Bang-for-Buck ODBII Scanner.

    18yo Grandson can only afford the cheapest WM code/reset model. He likes to buy some of the crappiest FBM cars cheap to drive or flip. I'd like to treat him to a slight upgrade (since the cars seem to have plenty of codes). I like the battery/alternator test function Whatever else somewhat...

    Just happen to notice, with the exception of a cheapie and a heavy truck model, HF has all of it's "Zurich" code readers on clearance, with nothing new to replace them. Wonder if they want to push buyers to the more expensive tablet-based diagnostic tools? :dunno: I have a couple of their...
