    Columbian Hardware 604 1/2M Vise

    I’ve been looking for a useable vise to upgrade the cheap import I’m currently using. Bought for $125 on CList today, and yes, I am fully aware that many of you score some great deals on the flea market / yard sale route, but I don’t have the available time for that, so any extra $50 or $75 to...

    My Armorpoxy $0.50 / SF tile job

    So I was fortunate enough to find enough floor tile during Armorpoxy clearing out their warehouse sale listed here. It's hard to beat floor tile at like 80% off. My observations below are purely observations, and not complaints given the bargain price these sold for. It's infinitely better...

    AutoArc Plasma Cutter by Miller

    I bought this AutoArc XPT 6000 off CL a few months ago for little over $100. Seemed to fire up so figured worth the risk at that price. I think it was originally made by Miller. It's only 110V and has the compressor built in. Very long leads. Yes, I know there are no doubt bigger units...

    Conductive Grease?

    Short back-story: Trying to get a horn installed on my track-rat BMW E36, that has the typical NRG short hub (non-quick release) and aftermarket wheel. It's driven to the track, so needs an inspection. A BMW horn grounds through the column, with the horn button as the switch in the circuit...

    Lift Advice

    As I get older, crawling under cars isn't as fun as it used to be. I'm on the prowl for a used lift, but am struggling given the garage size. We live in a typical new subdivision, on about 3/4 of any acre. There is not a ton of "yard" stuff in the garage currently. We have one of those newer...

    Quick Cabinet Input

    Saw this for sale locally. No brand or manufacturer. I suspect it is "office" grade not industrial. Thoughts on whether it could hold tools? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Small Engine Gurus? Ice storm plus no start generator

    I have a 7500 watt generator with a Honda GC340 11 HP motor. Hasn't been run in a while. At least a year. Will run if I put gas down the intake or if spray starter fluid in it. Dies immediately tho. Lots of gas in float bowl when I take out the float drain. I have done a few car engine...

    Greetings from Raleigh, NC - Suburban Mini Three Car
