So my 1/2HP Craftsman unit decided to stop working this morning. When I hit the button I can hear whatever relay inside the unit activate but nothing happens. Also, the two bulbs on the unit don't work either. Do these things have any fuses that are user replaceable? I think there was a quick...

So this is more of a general house question but since my house has a garage and this forum seems to always have good info I want to get your opinions. Just moved into the house a few months ago. Went up into the attic to check for leaks after a recent rain storm and noticed this...

Finally moved into a house with a 2 car garage so I plan on doing most of my own car maintenance. Looking to pick up one of these mechanics tool sets but not sure what the best bang for the buck is. My budget is $200. Obviously there is HF, and I've also seen Tekton, Stanley, Bostitch, etc...

Did my 2 car garage yesterday with Rust Bullet. Thought I would throw out a few tips to those about to take the plunge. 1. If you have done any floor prep grinding to remove a previous coating BUY AN EXTRA GALLON. I did a diamabrush grind to remove a previous sealant and boy did it soak up the...

Just got my Rust Bullet in today. For you guys that have done a floor coating in your garage (RB, epoxy, etc..) have you left the garage door open or closed during the dry time? I feel like opening it would help it dry faster but risk stuff blowing in and sticking. Maybe I should disconnect the...

Just moved into a new house. I don't own alot of tools but I'm slowly buying as needed. I plan on doing some wood cutting for things like siding repair (fiber cement) and landscaping timber that needs to be redone. What kind of saw would be best for those uses? Table, Mitre, Circular, etc.... I...

Going to be throwing some insulation and drywall up on my garage in the next few months. I want to install some additional outlets as well but not certain if I want to have them in the walls or on the outside. Seems like theres more chance for screwing up having them inside with doing the...

Just finished grinding off an old coating on my 2-car garage using the HD Clarke RS-16DC and Diamabrush coating removal tool. Figured I would throw some tips out here for others thinking about trying this as I've never used a floor polisher before. First tip: If you've never used a floor...

For you guys that have rented the HD Clarke RS-16DC floor polisher to use with the Diamabrush coating removal tool: Did you use the black skirt piece that is supposed to be wrapped around the outside (assuming to help dust collection)? The HD closest to me doesn't have them, while the one that...

Do you guys find the harbor freight hand tools to be decent quality? As in, the sockets and wrenches are within tolerance etc.... Something tells me these days they shouldn't be much worse than regular HD, Lowes, Sears hand tools considering I think those are all made in China now anyway?

Just moved into a new house with a 20x20 2 car garage. There are some existing outlets in there (not many) so I'm looking for some advice on where to put some additional ones and what rating. Right now the areas where I want to put shop equip. is unfinished so will be easy to install. I've...

Looking at doing an epoxy or rust bullet on my garage floor. I'm fairly certain there is some type of very thin coating of something already on it as its flaking up but I can't tell what it is. I've attached some pictures, any ideas?

So just bought a hour with a two car garage and I'm pretty excited about "customizing" it to my liking. I already have a thread over in the flooring section but I wanted to get some opinions on insulation. It's an attached garage with insulation/drywall already installed on the walls attached...

Just moved into a new house with a 2 car garage (about 410 sq ft). First time having a garage and pretty excited since I like to do all my own car maintenance. First thing I want to do before I start a tool buying spree though is to get a good epoxy coat down. It looks like there is currently...
