I just bought some :) Part of finishing my basement is setting up a new "lab" space for working on electronics, computers, audio stuff, whatever...just things that are cleaner than what I usually do in the garage. So I wanted some tool storage for the space and something a little nicer than...

Might be picking up a new box soon for a new workshop space and potentially going with a box that I can pick the drawer layout and heights and such. What does everyone find most useful for drawer heights? layouts? I have a 56" SPG International in the garage now with a variety of heights and...

Milwaukee Packout, Dewalt Toughsystem, Flex Stack Pack, Tekton Stacking...all of them are terrible. Let me state some reasons: They cost a lot for what they are They're made of plastic, no nice ball bearing slides or metal latches either on most They are FAR from optimal for storing anything...

Does anyone make a cordless mini blower? Like think those compressed air duster cans but in a drill sized cordless tool? I have the cordless leaf blower and have the 60 gallon compressor with lots of blow guns and hose...but it would be nice to have a tiny handheld thing to quickly dust...

Okay, so here I was thinking that self locking measuring tapes are the best thing ever. I find them WAY better since the thing doesn't slam shut on me if I so much as slip a little bit...and I can immediately use both hands without having to set the lock manually (usually marking something)...

Well...my big (huge) project for 2023 is on, finishing my basement finally. I originally had planned to start in 2020, but well, something happened in the world that got in the way. Finally material prices are starting to get back to "normal"ish so decided it was time. It's going to be a total...

Finally did a tour of the full garage for YouTube, so if you guys have ever wondered what my little shop looks like, here it is:

My old trusty Mastercraft 1/2" drive 250ft-lbs 24" clicker torque wrench is getting fussy, doesn't always click anymore. I've had it nearly 15 years, so doesn't owe me anything and it's time for a new one. Wouldn't mind spending a bit more. Sooo...what to get? CDI? Snap On? Gearwrench...

I've had a bit of fun doing 12 days of "casemass" aka Christmas...basically, grabbing one case out of my workbench and showing the interesting tools inside, how they work, what they're for, etc. First day is here, a snapon set: I'm particularly proud of the intro/outro's for it, so at least...

What gives? Yes I use an adblocker, no I don't want to whitelist this site, ads are intrusive. Do we really need a modal every single time I open the site?

Hey Guys...I just did a full walk through of my toolbox: Realized after doing it just how messy it is, any suggestions on how to utilize the space more efficiently and/or make it better organized?

Alright, keeping this party going with pliers week lol So what'll it be? lol Clearly I've had the Channellocks a fair bit longer, but there's some really neat things about the Knipex pliers that I've recently picked up a bunch....we can have both right? This is GarageJournal after all?

So I recently picked up a Wera Kraftform Kompact bit driver. It's pretty nice, but I find the collar that releases the hex shaft to be REALLY stiff. For anyone that has one, is this normal? I also did a quick two minute video of it, if you want to see what it's all about and how stiff it is too:

I'm putting together a mid-size service bag, something I can quickly grab when I go help a family/friend/neighbour and not have to raid my tool box for stuff. It will have the usual screwdrivers, pliers, cutters, gloves/safety, wrenches/sockets, measuring tape, pencil, etc. plus things like a...

I don't think I've seen one here (searched a bit) but was posting somewhere else about Fluke stuff and took a picture of my kit...287 Meter, 325 Clamp, 1AC II Tester, TLK281 leads, C195 Bag. Anyone else here rocking a Fluke setup?

Nothing too fancy, a Craftex CX601 bench top mill but it sure is nice to now have the two main machine shop tools (lathe and mill) in the garage! It was bought used but is in pretty good shape and is a clone of the Grizzly G0704, Precision Matthews PM-30MV, or King KC-20 mills. All of them have...

At least when it comes to grinders...it's actually a bit of an interesting result: I know it's not Tuesday, so technically not a Tool Test Tuesday video, but this is one I've wanted to do (and have been promising) for a while as I've never seen anyone comparing such different grinders against...

I've wanted to try this for a while, I know it wasn't possible but it's another thing to see it first hand. I think I was even more surprised by what happened with MIG welding aluminum with C25 gas, was, energetic :) lol Anyway, here's the video if all of it: Will say, the welder was the MVP...

...this is why: 10" thick grass, slightly damp, full width cut, full speed...literally no problem. I had a regular ol' Briggs powered mower before this, even with a sharp blade, it would have been a crawl with a half width cut to get through this. The Honda, ya, just chews it up and mulches...

Did this video for someone on another forum asking about my scissor lift...but figured it would be worth sharing here too. It's a Bendpak MDS-6KF that I have flush mounted into the floor. Cheers!
