I hate Harbor Freight. But the ICON stuff is pretty solid. Anyway, I'm troubleshooting the lack of brake light with front brake activation on the motorcycle. I have a HF jumper lead- wire, alligator clips, plastic boots, you get it. And for the life if me I don't understand the results of my...

Currently, I'm renting a shop 20 minutes from my house. It's functional, but it isn't mine and it's too far away. I've been blessed enough to acquire a 2 acre parcel 3 minutes from my house (or a 5 minute bicycle ride). My plan was to build a shop on the land and deal with what else to do with...

Hello! I have a 3M 7800s respirator, and am looking for some cartridges. It fits the 2,6 and 7 series filters. The 4 digit 6 series won't provide what I need. The 5 digit 6 series do. I can't really wait until May. If you know someplace that has the in stock, I'd be most grateful. Thank you for...

I have a 110v Horror Freight flux core welder. (Yes. I know. I need a real welder to weld. Thank you. In the mean time . . .) I bought a Warn winch that turned out to have problems. One of the problems was the stand it was on, to mount to a reciever hitch. Two of the bolts I was able to coax out...

I have 4 Snap On 14 oz aluminum tankards in new condition. These mugs were manufactured to appear "used" thus the aluminum does not have a mirror finish. The box is in OK cosmetic condition, but is certainly not 10/10. I'm asking $100, including domestic shipping. And of course the photos are...

I'm starting a serious car project, and I have a 2006 Subaru WRX wagon shell I don't need. I'd hate to cut a perfectly fine body apart to take to scrap, but unless someone has grand LeMons plans, or a wrecked shell they want to spend 4 days swapping over, I have no use for it. Free.

I have a pneumatic pop riveter for a project I'm working on. A few of the stems didn't come off, though the rivet is tight. I moved on, and tried my hand pop riveter to remove them. It worked for one. Both riveters seem to have trouble grabbing the pins. Any good ides to remove them that won't...

Hello! I just got exclusive access to an 800 sq ft shop located remote from my home. I know I need fire suppression when I'm there, and these things look like they'll help when I'm not too. Anybody have any experience? The videos look impressive, but we've all been lied to by cameras before...

What's the top of a "you ****" price for a Matco 4325rp? There's a box near me that I think I could get for a song. I've never had a "tool truck" box, and don't "need" one, but if I knew I got a screaming deal, then I'd buy it. So what is a screaming deal on a 6' box? Thanks everyone. *...

I have a lead on an IR T30 60 gallon 5hp 3 phase compressor from 1996. Do I: 1. Get it and a 5 hp rotary phase converter 2. Get it and swap the motor for a 5 hp single phase 3. Not get it and wait for a single phase to come my way 4. None of the above, and do something I haven't yet considered...

So I came into possession of some IV poles being discarded. They are basically a small pipe welded to a half inch steel base. The base is made up of 5 "arms" welded together in a star shape, with a bend to lower the center of gravity. While everyone else saw trash, I saw opportunity! While...

I finally got myself a lift. Scissors are rare on my local Craigslist, and I've never seen a maxjax. Scissors that are reasonably priced are even more rare. Unfortunately, any real identifying markings are gone. It has "Rotary" cast into the arms. I think it's a PAL7E, but if you guys have a...

Hi, There is a Walker 93655 for sale near me, but the price seems :eyecrazy: What would a reasonable price for one be? Pics seem to be in good but used condition. Thanks for the input.

I found an LR-60 near me for sale at a shop that's upgrading. I'm concerned for three reasons. 1. The price is high at $1200 2. It's a low rise. 3. (This is where you guys come in) When completing its upward travel, right at the upper end, it launches a stream of hydraulic fluid 4-5 feet...

Due to the location of my house, I can't build an on site shop/garage, and my projects are getting larger in both size and scope. Looking for somewhere else, I found a "garage condo". 2 buildings, each with 5 1200 sq shops. 18' ceilings, one man and one vehicle door, a bathroom, and not much...

http://myrtlebeach.craigslist.org/tls/5856517641.html I've been wanting a lift for forever, and this would solve so many of my problems (narrow garage, low ceiling) but it looks like a death trap, just waiting for the opportunity to fall and kill me. Is it as dangerous as it looks?

I have an "antique" car, with the associated 20 year old plastic. Some important switches are set into the console, just in front of the shifter. Over time, the nests for these switches were no longer able to tolerate the force transmitted by pressing and holding the button down. I went to...

I have some bolt extractors - the kind that look like nut drivers, but with left hand spiral flutes. As long as the bolt/screw has enough material protruding for purchase, they've never failed me. Broken screws/bolts without protruding shafts kick my ****. I don't think I've ever successfully...

I got myself in over my head, but that's good, because stretching makes me a better person. I was trying to come up with some child friendly projects to get the family involved in. Started well, had some good ideas. DD asked to make a bow. Sure, we can do that! I figured I'm looking at 3-4...

The short version of a long story is I goofed up and ordered the wrong thing. I have 2 GE P/N WR1210757 for free, you pay for the shipping. I don't need these, and will throw them away unless someone happens to need them for their freezer. Have a nice day!
