I'm hoping to get a recommendation for an air compressor for home use. I've been getting by with a Senco 1-gallon that is really great, but just can't keep up with my modest needs. My typical uses are: * filling tires up to 37" dia on a 17" wheel * running a vacuum brake bleeder * blowing out...

I still need a floor jack after saying I'm going to buy one for several years now and see Napa has this one on sale (from $364 down to $219): https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/CHT7916440SO Napa says it's made by Balkamp, I assume in China. Any opinion on how this Napa jacks compares to the...

I need to replace a hose bib in my back yard and all I can find is made in China junk. Can anyone point me to a made in USA (or at least not made in China) hose bib? I checked with Prier and Woodford but they don't seem to make what I need (3/4" FEMALE inlet, and would prefer 1/4-turn).

https://boxousa.com/collections/garage-sale/products/boxousa-tool-bag-with-tool-roll-plus-mechanic-mat I really like this kit (mostly the idea of the bag and tool roll pre-filled with tools) but damn does it seem overpriced. Is this a case of paying for the convenience of a one stop shopping...

So the car wash guy sprayed bug remover on my $2,000 Baja Designs lights and stripped anodizing off the housings. :mad: Any way to fix this? Baja Designs has told me they would warranty the housing but 1) it wasn't their fault and 2) I'd rather not have to remove the lights and send them in...

All the recent talk about jacks and jack stands has me realizing I don't own either; and, in keeping with Garage Journal tradition, now I must buy them. :cool: My question is, should a factor of safety be added in when determining which weight capacity to buy? For instance, I will be working...

My trucks getting older and I'm venturing more and more off the beaten path, so I thought it best to start carrying a more comprehensive tool kit with me. The plan is to buy a couple socket sets in blow molded cases I can store behind/under the back seat. So the question is, should I buy...

Hey guys, I’m trying to consolidate my power tools into fewer platforms so I’m offering up my little Craftsman C3 collection for sale. As shown in the pictures I have a couple drills, impact wrench, grinder, 18 ga brad nailer, light, jigsaw, bag, batteries, chargers, etc. I also have a...

I need something for general use for home garage type projects. Are the multitude of offerings on Amazon good enough?

.....how would you suggest I go about doing that? I could just drill (4) holes through the top and bolt it down, but my gut feeling is I'll end up deforming the top of the box before too long. What do you guys think of sandwiching the top between a couple pieces of ply or HDPE before bolting...

Can anyone recommend a source for quality Weather Pack connectors? I'm uncertain about the Chinese parts sold on Amazon and prefer to avoid them unless you'all give them the thumbs up. Oh, and I will be buying the USA made 12014254 crimp tool. Thank you!

I keep getting yelled at by the wife for dirtying my good clothes while working in the garage, so I figure its time to buy some coveralls. Something relatively inexpensive (I'm a home DIY guy, not a pro, and won't be wearing them daily) and quick to get on (otherwise I won't wear them). What do...

I'm shopping for a 1/4"-drive torque wrench and came across Digitool Solutions at protorquetools.com. The claim they are made in the USA, and they seem to be selling for roughly the same as CDI. Anyone have experience with a torque wrench from Digitool Solutions? In particular, I'm looking at...

All I know is it has ball bearing slides and weighs 400-500 lbs, so I'm told. Measurements are: 59 1/2" W 25 3/4" D 41 1/2" H Anyone know who makes it? It's for sale for $800. Thank you! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Anyone have a hot tip on upcoming Father's Day sales on the 72" boxes from Harbor Freight (US General) or Home Depot (Husky HD series)? I'm starting a side business and need a tool chest for tools and supplies. I'm not going to get rich off this business, it's more to be more involved in...

Made is USA. $75 for 16-pc set. I know not everyone is a fan of Tekton but you have to respect the fact they regularly bring new product to the market, and, on appearance, do their best to have that product made in the USA. Black oxide blades are coming for only $60.

*SOLD* Mastercool 52325 Thermal Imaging Camera - NEW I have a Mastercool 52325 Thermal Imaging Camera for sale. It's new, but I did open the box and try it out, so the memory card has been inserted and the battery charged. It's about 6 months old and never used in a work environment. SOLD...

TEKTON has released a handful of 6-n-1 drivers. Handle is molded here in the USA and the steel components are made in Taiwan. One nice thing is individual components can be purchased separately.

I'm going to have to replace the load center on my house before too long. The existing load center is one of those crappy Zinsco units from the mid-70s flush mounted in the south exterior wall of my stucco house. At the same time, I'd like to run conduit/wire clear around the house to the north...

Looks like Tekton just released their 90T flex ratchets. I'm liking their standard 90t ratchets (I'm not a pro, just a home user) and will definitely be buying these, too. Now they need to update the sockets so I can buy a set to keep in the truck. https://www.tekton.com/flex-ratchets
