I picked up a Ford model T adjustable (monkey) wrench at a yard sale. This one has an end that is not rounded, but tapers to a small rectangle that I guess fit into a slot for some purpose. What was that purpose, please?

Will 30mm, or 60mm magnetic sheeting be strong enough to hold up to 3/4" wrenches (just cheaper Sears-type, not heavy snap- on)? I want to put 6" strips up to hold the wrenches and smaller bits vertically, and to do the home-made magnetic armbands with Velcro or whatever also, thanks. I can get...

Is the Harbor Freight motorcycle Lift manageable for two people to move the parts several feet into the garage to put together, weight wise? Or is it all pre-assembled, and just too heavy without more help other than a dolly and two people?

I am getting a 10x20 barn shed, that is delivered on permanent 4x6 skids. It will be going on bare ground (no slab), and I need to put down a moisture barrier underneath. I live in hot n' humid ne Florida. I was thinking of some kind of tarp and roofing felt arrangement. What do you use, if...

I don't want any noise from my lights. Can I buy the HD fixtures (2-bulbX4'), then buy the proper upscale bulbs, to eliminate hum; or does the fixture cause hum also? i read here something about HD doesn't carry commercial fixtures, is there a noise factor eliminated with the commercial fixture...

I figured the Klein bag and belt in excellent condition was probably worth what I paid for everything ($39.00). Yeah, maybe coulda done better, but I am trying to build my meager tools cheap and fast (which as we know, you can only have one or the other :) ):

Hi all, I am a member of Jockey Journal but new here; I live in NE Florida. I just have a 16X16' going up (m/c bike shed, mainly) soon, though the wife is coaxing me into a garage-combo, and damn if she doesn't win a few, soooo....;) Getting lots of steep learning curve done here lately, what a...
