I need to temporarily affix a small 16x20 piece of metal pegboard to the side of a steel cabinet. I’ll have a couple pounds max of tools and pegboard accessories. I may need to remove the entire pegboard section quickly due to a clearance issue so am trying to come up with a temporary way to...

The little screw that holds the faceplate to the electrical outlet looks broken off inside the outlet. I guess it was a plastic screw? I’d prefer to extract that screw so I can put a new faceplate on. Suggestions?

I frequently am cleaning some project at my garage and dragging my existing heavy duty garden hose off (and back onto) my manual reel is a pain. Has anybody bought a retractable garden hose reel they recommend? Everything on Amazon looks sketch. My TikTok feed is full of the Vevor ads but I know...

The unfinished attic (crawl space?) over my 24x24 garage is only wired for a single standard bulb receptacle. I've had a CFL bulb in it forever and I'm finally tired of waiting for it to warm up and throw any light, and it also doesn't throw enough light to the other end of the garage. Has...

Has anybody bully or seen any solutions for DIY shelving built into the A-frame supports over a garage? I fee like I can better utilize some space up there doing so.

I set up a small area with my various cordless power tool chargers which helped declutter things. I now want to incorporate a few additional chargers for my fishing gear - a deep cycle LiON charger, and 2 other chargers for other gear. I’m interested in seeing others charging/charging...

This area is where I keep a lot of my fishing stuff in my garage. These are relatively inexpensive drawer solutions from big box stores. Each drawer holds a particular type of gear (one drawer holds spools of fishing line, another holds various reels, another for cold weather gear, etc. and the...

I guess I never noticed this before but my 2-car detached garage door seal has like a 10" gap at one end. The other end is more or less flush so either I don't understand these seals or the door company installed too short of a seal. The only reason this is bothering me is that I get a few mice...

These are corroded and I'd like to buy a couple new ones. I didn't see them in the specialty bins at Lowes. I don't know they name to search further. I only need 2.

My big box store shelving has these sharp exposed edges at the top of the vertical supports. Surely there is a plastic corner cap of some sort that will cover them? I thought of splitting some vinyl tubing or something but figured they would get bumped off too easy even if I put some adhesive on...

Haven't been doing a lot of garage projects lately but today was out there and noticing a lot of mice poop. I don't keep any food out there, the little bastards are bringing in their own food (acorns) and chewing them up. Probably got a couple living in there. Any newfangle traps or just get...

I'm replacing our kitchen cabinets but want to upgrade my draw slides before I move these to the garage. They are 35 years, loud and not smooth. I can't seem to find anything like this, just the new style that expects the drawer to be as wide as the drawer slot. My cabinets have a frame the draw...

This Vector model 1097A 'smartcharger' has served me well for over a decade charging my lead acid deep cycle marine batteries. I am now switching over to a LifePO4 12v 100aH battery and wondering if my Vector will still suffice? I've always used the 'Wet' cell setting but wondering what is...

I need to cut some 12' metal roof panels down to fit a lean-to roof. I thought I read that you can reverse a circular saw blade to do this? Or do I need to purchase a specialty blade? If I get a blade made to cut steel do I need to reverse it? I also have a jig saw but not sure the blades are...

Today I'll be hanging the rafters and completing an 8'x8' lean-to off the side of a small shed. This shed has cedar siding and placement of my 2x6 header board was done so it sat flush against the siding. Any up or down would have had it rotating against the thickest edge of the siding. I...

I have used this model WG644 power sprayer a few times each year and it has always worked well. I have some of their other yard tools (blower, trimmer) and they have done well too. But now the power sprayer is having a hard time building up the pressure. All the screens are clear and unit...

I was recording some serial numbers (in the event of theft) in the garage and thought I'd also record my Porter Cable 20V cordless tools. Only takes a minute to jot them down. Anyway noticed none of my PC tools actually have a serial number on them. Seems odd - am I just somehow missing something?

I don't use this 14" Clarke 'Abrasive Cut Off Saw' often any more but I do occasionally need to cut some rebar or angle iron. Saw some pics of people using metal blades to cut metal stock and don't know anything about using a metal blade in this thing. I don't think they even had metal blades...

Gave away my primary circular saw to a friend that needed it as I have a backup. Neither get used much but the backup (Porter Cable PCC660) is an under-powered 6 1/2" 20V unit that only turns 4000 rpms. Used it yesterday and it serves it purpose but the blade is 8+ years old and seen a little...

Looking for a source to buy specific pegboard hooks rather than a mega-pack filled mostly with hooks I don't want. I'm mainly looking for select length/style hooks to hang a few additional things. HF and Lowes had a couple single/multiple packs but not in the hook styles I'd like to get.
