Over the last few years I've been embarking on my first automotive restortation project. First time doing body work/paint, so I'm trying to learn everything as I go along. For the outer body panels I'm using professional 2k stuff from Tamco, but for the chassis parts I decided to use good old...

I have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with 100% hardwood floors. It's all original 1959 flooring, and the finish is in bad shape in most rooms and in need of refinishing. Now I know the typical thing is to go down to the big box and rent a floor sander, but around me HD wants $65/day to rent their...

Hey Hiball, as you know I recently "restored" an old Napa Walker 2 ton floor jack. All has been great, but I noticed when I tried to use it yesterday that it started ******* fluid out from around this screw. I took the screw out and inspected it (nothing to see really), then put it in good and...

Talking about the ones that store on a shelf, not the giant ones that are on wheels, preferably with enough amps to jump start a normal gas engine vehicle Seems to me that everything on the market is a "smart" charger, which I don't want. I don't want to deal with the B.S. cutoff thresholds for...

Anyone following my last thread (https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=458826) knows that I stumbled upon an enormous Napa Fleet floor jack on FB marketplace last week. When I got it home I decided to tear it down to get rid of the rust and lubricate all the moving parts. It...

Just a heads up for any of you who were thinking of buying a yellow daytona super duty but prefer green to yellow. https://www.menards.com/main/tools/automotive/automotive-tools-shop-equipment/masterforce-trade-3-ton-heavy-duty-floor-jack/t830008/p-1555569041912-c-9113.htm HF doesn't allow 20%...

I'm a very novice gardener and I'm looking to build a budget irrigation system for my backyard garden. I have been looking at various models of automatic water timers and they all seem to get horrendous reviews. Seems like every one on the market dies in 1-2 years, usually by either failing to...

Hey guys, So I've had an Echo SRM 225 string trimmer for a few years that I like, but I am in need of various attachments like a pole saw and hedge trimmer now that I am a new homeowner with trees and hedges to manage (that are too far away from an outlet for corded ****). So I purchased a...

I know this makes no functional difference, and I'll have 9000 people tell me to just go buy more HF sockets...but I don't like them. All my impact sockets are HF/Sunex, and the rough finish just bothers me. On top of that, the HF ones that are Cr-Mo are lazer etched ONLY and not stamped, so...

Hey guys, I have been on the lookout for a Craftsman model 51888 bench vise and just thought I'd see if anyone was interested in selling theirs. If so, send me a PM. Thank you. :beer:

Imagine my excitement to see Made In U.S.A. stamped large and proud on the side of the package. I was really surprised to see it there. https://photos.app.goo.gl/NR211E6bocYawxN99 Clearly that makes it the best right. Any guesses what it is? https://photos.app.goo.gl/pnVotuLp2S3cdBUw5...

Should have taken before pics, but it was a mess. The screwdriver drawer contents would just roll around and shift everywhere when you closed it. The pliers drawer was stacked 2 or 3 deep...and I forgot I had some of the ****. The sockets and ratchets all used to be in the big drawer together...

So it has been bugging me recently that I have never had any of my torque wrenches calibrated. I considered having them calibrated, but to be honest, I'm just a DIY'er and the cost would be in excess of just purchasing new ones. :headscrat I really hate the idea of just purchasing a new, cheap...

Bought this from fleebay the other day: https://photos.app.goo.gl/sgFJJ9cHZqDNAYCk9 Model 875.199340 Professional Series 3/8 Air Ratchet. It didn't come with a box, and there are no manufacturing labels on it, so I presume it's Chinesium but figured I'd check to see if anyone knew who made it...

Was strolling through my local lowes this morning and came across these wrenches: https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-7-Piece-12-point-Standard-SAE-Combination-Wrench-Set/1000594169 I'm fairly certain what these are the "Max Axcess" wrenches that Cman sold for a while. The open end anti-slip...

Menards has a Craftsman Drill Press listed in their Cyber Monday ad. I thought Lowes had the exclusive here...not that I'm upset about it. I don't much care for Lowes...

What gives? I'm trying to find a 3/8 lead in air hose that has 3/8 fittings on the ends...and every one I've found that has 3/8 fittings immediately necks down to the same ID inside the fitting as a 1/4 fitting. This hose: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072ML37TJ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Next...

...for the most part, no. You guessed it...lots of offshore **** with a few smatterings of US made things. Country of origin isn't specifically mentioned in the listings unless it's US made, in that case that's plastered all over everything. I think it's safe to assume that if they plaster...

Alright guys, I'm an air compressor newbie and I'm down the rabbit hole a bit here. Hoping for some guidance. I'm shopping for a 60 - 80 gallon compressor for my home shop. I am a weekend warrior mechanic type, so I don't necessarily need top of the line, but I am young so I want to buy...
