    Reactionless air impact ratchets

    What is the darling of the GJ hive mind mid-23? The Astro 1128, Aircat 810 (I think), and SP 1765 seem to float to the top reading through threads. How do they compare to one another?

    Air coupler types

    I'm setting up my new air system, and trying to figure out couplers. The Euro/Milton-V flows more air than the standard industrial/M-type that are easy to find everywhere in a variety of materials. I've read up on the Stedlin quick connect, and really like the idea and feedback/reputation of...

    Seeking Air Compressor Recommendations

    It's finally time to get shop air! I've been reading up on the subject for the past week or so, and looking into what is available, but I'm not really liking what I'm finding so much. I have 120V@20A only (kind of a major limitation), and need to be able to power the usual mechanics tools, but...

    Copper through concrete floor?

    I have been trying to fix a water potability issue with my well in a ~100 year old house and matching well in the Rocky Mountains. At some point between 1936 (the applicable addition) and now, someone ran a 1" copper pipe from the well up through the floor in the mechanical room in the basement...

    TTY Head Bolt Concern

    I'm asking here, because in my experience the GJ crowd on average seems to be the most technically savvy across the board and doesn't suffer quite as badly from tribal thought and weird inexplicable or overly irrational biases. If it weren't Sunday afternoon, I'd call the manufacturer, but here...

    Router recommendations

    I'm in the market for a new router, and I want to do it right the first time. Primary concern is longevity/quality. I'd also like a solid feature set; a good height adjustment mechanism, plunge, ability to mount in a table, etc. It'll primarily be used for wood, but could occasionally see soft...

    What to do about a large dent in a jointer bed

    I bought a jointer from CL, and did the inspection without my glasses on... When I got home, I discovered it has this huge dent in the infeed bed, and upon further inspection, both beds are longitudinally concave with the infeed bed being all kinds of wavy to boot. Sighting down the bed...

    Where to find cartridge-style brush holders

    I've undertaken my first vintage-ish tool restoration/restomod: an old Craftsman 20" scroll saw. I was getting into the motor to dig out the bearings so I could order replacements and get the housing prepped for paint. The paint that was already on the thing combined with the way the terminals...

    Review: GoJaks Wheel Dollies

    I didn't see a review of these when I was researching wheel dollies for my own needs, so I figured I'd leave one here. I have no affiliation with the manufacturer or any retailers. GoJaks seem to be the HF44 toolbox of the wheel dolly world here on GJ. I really appreciate the lack of brand...

    Expansion Joints and Casters

    I have a ~6000 inop truck I need to move around my garage. Initially, I need to move it further to the side so my wife can park her Jeep (and we can swap tops for summer), but also I will be moving it around to gain access to different parts of the truck, park my soon-to-be-acquired daily...

    Writing Device Options

    I'm trying to decide the best route to go for my garage. I like to keep checklists going for various projects. It helps keep my brain organized, and also gives me a bit of motivation to get things done so I can scratch them off the list. I currently have three boards that have fallen into my...
