Does anyone know if any company makes an ELECTRIC power sweeper or power snow brush? For reference, this is the sort of thing I'm looking for: ... but electric instead of gas engined. :dunno: Where I live, we get quite a lot of the wet slushy snowfall each year... The kind where a...

Not sure on the terminology... For ratcheting box wrenches, is there any benefit to the open frame style over the smaller more modern one-piece fully enclosed style? I've run across several NOS sets of USA-made versions of the first, but they're bulkier than the newer style. Both styles are...

I saw this on Craigslist... Anyone know what the OTC (Owatonna Tool Company) branded tool boxes were like? Quality, manufacturer, when they were produced, etc? :beer:

Does anyone have a source for colored light bulbs that are especially bright and/or high wattage? For years, we have decorated the houses we live in by replacing exterior light bulbs during the holidays. I used to be able to find 75 and 100-watt colored bulbs, which was nice as they provided...

We moved houses this summer, and one of the lower-priority projects we didn't get to is that the driveway entrance against the street has years ago cracked and settled, leaving what is basically a large triangular pothole we have to drive over every day. It's one of those not-critical, but...

Just ran across this today, and thought it was interesting... A 'Chapin' brand cordless electric backpack sprayer, "Powered by Black+Decker". It uses the standard B+D 20V MAX lithium battery packs...

Something I've been wondering... Seeing as how this is a garage-centric message board, is there a general policy on the posting of "house" related questions? The members here are a wealth of knowledge in just about everything for the building trades, and areas like heating, electrical, roofing...

I've always thought Makita's dual-battery adapter (and dual-battery tools) were a good idea. They give you a fantastic upgrade path to bigger tools, without having to keep two separate lines of batteries. A 36-volt tool could simply use two 18-volt batteries. As I look at my growing...

Off-hand, does anyone happen to recognize this table saw? I thought it might be an Atlas because of the round red logo, but my Google searches were not finding a match in the image results... Thanks in advance. :thumbup:

Here is a generic mixed lot of tools I found on Craigslist. It's the usual deal, several separate "clean out the house" lots posted from a seller and priced as sets. But the question is... What are they? :dunno: (The grass shears are a given. ;))

Has anyone heard of this lift before, or know anything about it? The manufacturer's web site (American Car Lift Service) doesn't have any information other than a single photo and the 8'10" minimum ceiling height figure. :dunno: http://www.americancarlift.com/Low-Ceiling-Lift.htm The...

Informal survey: For cordless tools, what is your "ideal" mix of batteries and chargers? For example, I've worked jobs where outlets weren't available, so I had to have a bunch of batteries ready to go for the day, but could fast-charge the batch overnight easily enough with just a pair of...

Has anyone here lit their garage/shop with a majority of the light being indirect lighting or uplighting? You see this style of lighting all the time in offices, schools, libraries, retail, etc... and I've always thought it was a pleasant way to light a large area evenly without the glare of...
