So, my SO had a GC not complete a kitchen she designed, so I got "recruited" to install just 1 piece of batten molding on the end of the kitchen cabinets. Will 23g pin nails suffice or will I need to use 18g brads? The batten is 1/4" so I was going to use 1 3/8" 23g that I have unless you guys...

Ive recently picked up some Ryobi tools for one-off projects, and Im looking for advice for batteries. Im already pretty vested in Milwaukee, so I dont want to spend a lot of money for factory Ryobi batteries. Are there any preferred knockoff brands or would my best bet be to get an adapter and...

We have some projects coming up where we will be relocating outlets from standard level to counter top level, as well as a ceiling fan moving further in to the room to center it. What is the correct way to "splice" longer wires to the existing if theyre not long enough to reach the new outlet...

The Old Lady got me the 10" Ridgid table saw/stand combo from HD for Christmas. Im new to table saws, so what would you guys suggest/recommend getting prior to use? I plan on using Freud blades, and have read about squaring it up, so I know those things need to be done. Any recommended push...

Ive got some odds and ends to do in the house, and some projects I want to try out, and its looking like a table saw purchase is on the horizon. What would be an entry level table saw? Would the Ryobi or Ridgid saws at HD be sufficient? Some of the things Ill be using it for: behind the couch...

So Ive got an older Hitachi 10" single bevel compound saw (C10FCH2) and Ive used it for little things here and there, nothing major. We are looking at redoing crown molding, base boards, window/door trim, etc. Being a saw rookie, would this saw be able to handle that work, or would I be better...

Wanting to pick up one of the Milwaukee circular saws to do some door trimming when replacing doors and general household use. Both the M12 Fuel 5 3/8" and M18 Fuel 7 1/4" have some deal with free batteries going on, but theres $100 difference. Any opinions on the M12 and the uses I stated?

So I loaded my 4 drawer HF cart with tons of metric tools before turning a wrench on my new to me 2005 4Runner (I know, shouldve asked first, but it was a great excuse to buy tools :D ). So far, Ive torn down the whole front end and replaced rear diff fluid, and these are the only sizes Ive used...

Been looking to pick up some nicer ratchets, and have been looking at the Wera Zyklops. I currently have Kobalt and some old Craftsman that I was given by my dad. I got some Wera Kraftorm torx drivers recently and love them, so thats what is steering me in the Wera direction. Are there others...
