It's interesting what motivates me sometimes, whether the threat of impending boredom, a persistent curiosity, or embracing the fact that variety is the spice and life it too short. I like adventure, and love to research and learn. I'm not in my happy place if I'm sitting idol, and after many...

Bought a new HF jack Pump Me Up Big Boy and maybe the third or forth time I used it, while raising the GX460 it was making some squealing sounds, almost like it was cavitating. Now I notice the first half of the stroke (pump handle vertical, down to about a 45deg angle) seems dead, like it's not...

Found an ad on CL for a vise. Old fella who didn't wanna post pics and just wanted the buyer to stop by...so I did. Well the vise was cheap junk, but he offered me this for $20 along with a spare switch as he said the one on the motor was bad. I'm hoping GJ can educate me on what it is used...

Well, in typical GJ fashion I have outgrown my current SO Classic 78. I got a great deal on it used, and it has served me well. But, as the tool collection grows, the box overflowith. I am a bit tight on space, and a 56" box is ideal for my garage. I know the Master series is deeper then the...

I have wanted a track saw for a while, but the price of the three mainstream saws really isn't justifiable for my the amount I would use it. I am not a wood worker, but I do enjoy straight clean cuts. My philosophy as of late is to buy good quality tools if I know it will be something I plan on...

I use BLO fairly frequently, and am always frustrated by using the container it comes in. Would an oiler can or other type of metal can work better for storing AND dispensing this precious oil? Or, anyone have a method to share for more effectively dispensing BLO.

Looking to run a narrow dado stack in a M18 Cordless circular saw. We are thinking about putting dados into wood ramps on biking/walking trails in the woods, where electricity isn't available. Precision isn't required. Yes, no...maybe so! Jonshonda you're crazy just let it go?

Excellent condition. Figured someone would love to add this to their collection. $30 shipped.

Maybe print or stamp the size higher up on the shank so the chuck doesn't ruin it right away? A$$holes.

Stamp the size of the socket multiple times around the perimeter in as large of font and as deep as possible!! I have good vision, but am so sick of having to hold and spin the sockets at obscure angles trying to catch the light just right to decipher the size. A$$holes.

For some odd reason I was in the mood to buy a hammer whilst traipsing around Menards last night, and found some what appear to be higher quality hammers from Germany. This one in particular caught my eye. They had dead blows and soft faced hammers as well...

We have some friends that need help with some porch repair. They recently bought their house, and after using a pressure washer on their painted deck, discovered a fair amount of rot in the tops of some of the vertical 6x6 posts and other locations. First off, there is not a lot of weight on the...

Bought the latest M18 Mid Torque Impact w/ pin detent from local farm store, and there is an issue with the detent pin. That issue is...once the socket is on, it ain't coming off! Well, without using a small hex wrench or pic to push the detent down. I didn't see such a tool in the box, nor was...

I found the Kreg Top Track, and Production Stop used on FB. Used some 1x3's as the work surfaces, and to mount the top track to. And some 2x4's for risers, and to mount the left side to the stand. The other side is screwed to the telescoping material support with a metal bracket and screw...

I have been looking for a decent mobile miter saw stand for a while, and thought I would try my luck on the Masterforce MX124. I don't have room for the larger Bosch T4B, or similar Dewalt, and my local Menards doesn't stock the Bosch GTA3800. I want something with wheels as I store the...

Found this on FB marketplace, and it was too cool to pass up for $25. With that being said, I don't know much about it. Parker Watts/Watco brand. Curious what does what, what I need to do and look out for, and how to add lube and whatnot. Also curious what the Left and Right outputs are on the...

I have been interested in getting a nice framing gun for a while now, and have always remembered that the Paslodes were nice guns. I was at my local Menards looking at the different models, and came across this gem. I sincerely hope that it isn't rusting away form just sitting on the shelf. A...

Hello all, I am prepping for the installation of a NG garage heater in our 20x25' attached garage. Going to be installing soffit vents and insulating the garage ceiling this wknd (already has drywall). The reason I ask about gas line sizing is that our laundry room is right next to the...

I picked a really nice USA made SkillSaw HD77 at a garage sale last year for really cheap. I've been trying to get the hang of using it, but am having trouble figuring out how exactly this thing is supposed to be beneficial to right handed users (vs a typical side winder), other then the better...

I bought a beast of a hose reel (24" tall and 80lbs) today on marketplace, needs a new spring can and a few other small parts. They sell replacement spring cans, but they aren't cheap at $150. Wondering if anyone has ever attempted to mess with one before, and walked away w/o injury? :needpics...
