I fought my ~16 yr old B&S mower all last year. I got harder to start every time I used it. Today I blew out the carb, pulled the plug, checked for spark, threw some gas in the plug hole and it fired right away. I put everything back together, filled the tank with new gas and fired it up. It...

I have this free ratchet that lost the tiny screw that holds it together. I don't even know where to start looking.

I missed the truck 2 times before finally getting this today. I bought it for lug nuts on my van and for general use in the field. It definitely does the lug nuts.

Those of you who use a cordless impact wrench for lug nuts what is your experience. I would like to get rid of my pneumatic wrench in favor of a Makita mid torque. It would serve to change tires twice a year (summer rims to winter rims......) and it would live in my work vehicle for the...

I have a 2016 Chev Express for a work van. The other day I closed the rear main door and it didn't close quite right, something about the sound you could tell. I grabbed the handle to try again........and nothing. The door feels like it's locked. When I unlock it with the key, it doesn't...

Not hoarding. I promise A few years ago I realized my kids could turn anything into a toy (see: old washing machine drain hose). Thus I bring home random stuff just to see what my kids will do with them. I was able to snag these large pieces of pipe from the plumbers at work. I will get...

I left my Eastwing 22oz framing hammer (not new but the milled face was still really good) on the floor when I completed a task yesterday morning. At the end of the day I went to find it and found that one of the labourers, someone I have know for 10 years or more had picked it up and used it...

Is truly vintage if it was made in the 80's? I stopped to look at this on the way home today. He wants $500. Everything is in good shape for 30yrs of daily use. Comments?

Not garage related per second but handyman home reno. Just a scant month ago this room was the slightly small-ish middle bed room. Now it's the new laundry room waiting for linoleum. The best feature is that it is on the main floor. But it also has connections for 2 washers (yes we have 2...

Am I the only one that gets a little nervous when jacking up the minivan on the suggested jacking points. The ones on the welded metal seam just fore and aft of the wheel wells. Since you're lifting on the body and not the suspension you end up lifting it up twice as high as you fell you should...

I just had new shingles put on by a contractor. It was arranged by one phone call and a quote by text message. The guys came. They were polite. A good job was done and they cleaned up all of the mess. I sent a cheque yesterday for a surprisingly small amount. The price was so good that I...

Not really. But I did. After working through a few ideas if how to add bluetooth to my Bosch jobsite 18v radio I landed on this. All I did was grab 18vdc straight from the battery, ran it through a fuse and then to a 12v socket. The Bluetooth fm adapter is good for 12v to 24v so it works...

I didn't want to be that 60 year old guy telling the kid installing my heater, "I should have done this 25 years ago."

I'm getting there. I dug the power in earlier this spring, even before I put the posts in. Today I put the plug on the outside of the shed part and put a light and a plug in the playhouse. The siding will have to wait until next year.

$45. This will probably out as me

This found its way into my garage the other day. Courtesy of my wife. <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/klassenl/media/20161223_112934_zpszeff2fly.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/klassenl/20161223_112934_zpszeff2fly.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo...

I picked up an Emglo wheel barrow compressor today. It is a few years old but the original stickers are still on it...so not much use. It is a continuous run only, meaning, when it is plugged in it pressures up to 125 and then the pump disengages and the motor continues to run. This is great...
