    Pressure Washer Quick Disconnects

    A few years ago I got this Surfacemaxx quick disconnect kit from Lowes. It worked ok (some leaking at the garden hose to PW). However, I had tried to remove one of the fittings from my PW hose and it was corroded on causing me to destroy the hose in the process. I saw these Powercare ones at...

    Difference between Gearwrench 81381 vs 81204P?

    Doing research it seems that people like these wrenches. Looking to get a 1/4" and 3/8" and found two different part numbers and not sure of the difference other than color of the handle (and the 81204P is "teardrop" - not sure what that means. Can anyone tell me the differences between these...

    Got my Floor Jacks "Wall Mounted"

    Despite some warnings from @Hiball I decided to wall mount/lean my two HF jacks as floor space is minimal in my embarrassingly tiny garage. :( I had the new SuperDuty upright in its box for a few weeks and no leaks so figured it would be ok. Worked fine when I used it. I also got an inside...

    Adhesive for Floor Jack Pad?

    I recently purchased a HF Daytona Super Duty 3 ton Jack. It has the basic rubber pad. I decided to upgrade and get a thicker rubber pad (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H46MXO8?tag=atomicindus08-20) instead of using a hockey puck. The OEM pad was on there good and did not survive the removal :(...

    Removing Floor Jack Handle Release Screw (Harbor Freight 3 Ton Aluminum Racing Jack)?

    Hey All, Hoping someone can help out with a quick question. The handle release/set screw on my 3 Ton HF Aluminum Racing Jack broke at the tip so it no longer holds the handle. I ordered a new screw. The problem is the screw is captured so it doesn't fall out - basically you can back it out...

    Fold-flat Rolling Mechanics Cart?

    I've been wanting a rolling mechanic's cart when I do work in my driveway. My garage is too small to work on the car and space is extremely limited so I don't even have space to have a regular rolling cart (had to sell the one I had). Is anyone aware of a rolling mechanic's cart which folds...

    Worth Rebuilding My Harbor Freight Floor Jack?

    I have a Harbor Freight 3 Ton Aluminum Jack (Item 68052) which is 10+ years old. It started lowering under load so I haven't used it much (have another of the same model). It's been a while but I recall losing some fluid from one of the screws. After research I figured it was just an o-ring...

    Leaf Blower for Car Drying (Cordless vs. Gas Backpack)

    My question - is a backpack blower a viable option for drying the car or is it too big/bulky to make it worth it? Crazy title I know. Here's the backstory: I previously used my corded detachable blower from my ~20 year Craftsman shopvac to dry my vehicles after a wash. It had a narrow nozzle...

    Woolwax Spray Gun - Thinner Cavity Wands?

    I recently had a rear Upper Control Arm failure and wanted to use a lanolin-based undercoating to slow down the rust on my 16 year old Nissan Armada. After a ton of research I went with Surface Shield and the Woolwax gun: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0070WTGZG/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It worked...

    Need Toolbox Purchase Advice

    Hi everyone, Wanted to get some current advice on toolboxes. I am replacing a small ~30 year old craftsman 3 box stacked setup which isn't that great quality so my expectations are low. My usage will be mostly staring at it and occasionally doing some light work on the cars so minimal DIY...

    How do I setup a trolly for a hoist?

    I have a tiny one car garage with fairly high ceilings. I wanted to save space in my shed by storing my off season mounted tires in a tire rack. I have the tire rack installed 8-12' in the air. My heaviest set of rims / tires are 88 lbs each. I got a manual winch to lift them which...
