12 month limit warranty (of course) so at month 13 I'm using it to jack up the front end of my chevy, and all of a sudden I see oil collecting (pooling) under the jack. I can honestly say in all my years of working with jacks, I've seen one blow out. Maybe I have just been lucky? What are my...

So I was on a really boring fire assignment with not a lot going on. On Saturday one of the tribal members I was working for was streaming live college football games with a "SuperBox" from his command trailer on small TV he had. I have Dish back home, and I'll admit I watch maybe 4 out of the...

So I spent the last two week fighting fire in Alaska, I get back home to Florida and everything is all F#cked up. Microwave is down, dish washer is non op, garage door opener is non-op. Finding myself retripping breakers at the panel to get things going, just to do it again and again. Nothing...

I'm writing this out of frustration, as living in Florida with our high UV rays, it destroys stuff. I've been forced to replace my Valley Forge American Flag every year for the past 5 plus years. Last year I even bought that Scotch Guard UV protectant and applied it prior to flying- still didn't...

Just got home from a 2 week fire assignment in Alaska, and my honey due was waiting for me. Error codes from the dish washer, microwave door handle snapped off. Addressed both of those, then I'm told the automatic garage door opener isn't working: Checked/ replaced the door code keypad...

Have to admit I’m not an expert on the topic. Looking for an Infrared Camera to aid me in building inspections. Cost is not a huge deal as my company will pay for it, as long as its within reason and not a stupid amount of money. Is there a camera out their that blends performance and cost...

I've been using Rock Auto for several years now and I have never had any issues personally. But I was watching a documentary on online parts companies that are found to be unknowingly selling counterfeit parts, which is why they're so cheap. Rock Auto was one of several companies found to be...

For the casa, not the garage. But I've had a NEST Thermostat in my house for the past 4 years with no issues. Then all of a sudden I've been getting messages from Nest stating my HVAC isn't running efficiently, and has been running on auxiliary? Not sure what that means? Any ideas? My house...

So I've owned the Black Bull gravity fed sand blaster for about 5 years. It works "okay" but recently it's been really unimpressive. Getting more air out the gun then abrasive. Then I "jiggle the handle" and it works again as intended. I've kicked around the idea of a blasting cabinet, as this...

* Disclaimer: I'm new to wood working, and I ****. . . Being new to woodworking I was doing the cost v. benefit of getting a track saw. First time working with sheet goods, got my T-Square, got my circular saw, and a few clamps. Ripped a few sheets and thought, "I'm good." Few sheets later...

Looking for a Jet JWSS-10LFR Shipping to N. Florida. Standing by . . .

If anyone has had failures or successes with their warranty claims with the various tool companies you do business with, I think it would be an interesting discussion: What company? What happen? How was the process? Personally, and I may be dating myself. But my first experience was with...

Inspired by a FB Group I'm apart of, thought I'd start it here. Post your vintage Craftsman finds here: My recent find, I know they older than these, but still a cool find.

Gotta love the under guy, love this dudes channel. This is what happens when a Retired Military Engineer starts a YT channel and starts testing stuff. I'll admit I usually check his channel before making purchases . . .

I've been kicking around the idea of getting a router for some time now, never owned one before. But I was doing research but then I had that lingering thought I think a lot of cordless power tool owners face: 1.) Will it be powerful enough? 2.) Shouldn't I stay on the same battery platform? 3.)...

So while trying to better educate myself on rare tools, I stumbled across this website. It has an incredible amount of information on a bunch of vintage tool subjects. Figured this could come in handy for those of you searching garage and estate sales. Happy Hunting . . ...

Been trying to get better at tool organization, as I am the poster child for spending 2 minutes using it/ 20 minutes looking for it. Been looking at foam inserts for my tool box, to better organize my sockets, spanners, and various other tools. So if you have some share what you have and whether...

For me, I generally try to buy tools from one of two places (if possible): USA or Japan. Yet the I'm tired of the word salad that has become marketing . . . its like at the Corporate Office they're thinking . . . - Made in USA - Forged in USA - Sourced in America - Made in America from Global...

So my daily drivers are Toyota but my vintage project vehicles are Chevy and Willys. My original USA made wrench set I had (Craftsman's circa 1999) have been compromised where things have either been lost or (tactically) misplaced. So (because of the Made in Japan thread here on GJ) I've come...
