I've got a small 8x12 back yard shed that I framed on top of a large concrete slab (beside a pool). I want to cover the inside walls with something because I installed siding and have nails sticking through the sheathing, and don't want the kids getting poked. I keep putting it off because the...

About a year ago I installed an Ingersoll Rand ARO Filter Regulator Piggyback (P39344-600-VS) in my garage compressed air system, with the expectation that it was going to filter out any water or moisture in my system. Using a die grinder yesterday it was obvious there was water in the system...

Hi all, I'm going to be building a small shed soon, and I have some questions for those of you with more experience doing this than I do. We're currently having an in ground pool put in our backyard, and once ready there will be concrete poured around it. That concrete pad will extend about...

I'm guessing the number of Canadian members on here is fairly low, but I was so displeased with these ratchets that I felt like I needed to do a PSA anyways. This week's CT flyer has the "newer" 90T ratchets packaged together in a promo set of the 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" for $50 CDN. For anyone...

I apologize in advance for yet another wrench thread, but after doing some searching I didn't really feel like I came to a solid conclusion. I have many wrench sets, but none that have any kind of Anti-Slip / ASD / grip feature on the open end. What I'm looking for, is what brand has the best...

Is there a "standard" practice for where on the wall to run your electrical conduit or EMT? My garage has a 100a panel in the front corner, and I need to run some surface wiring for my compressor and a couple additional receptacles. I'm just wondering if there's a standard or best practice for...

I bought a couple of the Wen cast iron grinder pedestal stands off Amazon, like below. The stands are quite sturdy, and it got me thinking, would it make sense to mount my vise on one of these as well? My current workbench top isn't the most stable / solid top, and the pedestal can be lagged...

I'm looking to get a one handed reciprocating saw, and I've narrowed it down to these two options. I'm not considering the M18 Hackzall because the DeWalt 20v and M12 lines are what I'm already into, and not looking to add another set of batteries. Maybe comparing a 12v tool to a 20v isn't...

Anyone know if this is a "twin" to any other reactionless / impact air ratchets of other brands? Aluminum body, 75 ft lbs, 450 RPM, about 11" long. Made in Taiwan. Sold in Canada at Princess Auto under the Pro.Point name, but I'm guessing it's a rebrand of someone else's like Kuani. Just...

I've got a DeWalt "carpenter's" tool belt that's apparently made of polyester. I was using it while drywalling and now it's covered in drywall dust. Can I just throw it in the washing machine? Or does it need to be hand washed in some special way?

I'm looking for a new 25' tape measure for general use, and not sure what to get. I currently have a 25' FatMax, which I've had for quite a while. Reading reviews online it seems like this is actually preferred by many, but I've never been in love with it. It's supposed to have 11 ft standout...

Anyone tried the Sunex flare nut wrenches? They are a very good price and seem to get good reviews online. I know Sunex makes some decent quality stuff, I own some of their sockets and I'm quite happy with them. But flare nut wrenches are a different animal. I'm just looking for something...

I've got a question on the effectiveness of air line lubricators. Is there a certain minimum distance from the tool before you should be worried about the oil not actually reaching the tool? I've heard anecdotal recommendations of "shouldn't go more than 10 feet from the tool" but nothing...

I'm looking at picking up a DeWalt fast charger to charge my 20v batteries (up to 5.0ah right now, no Flexvolt). The DCB104 and DCB118 "Flexvolt" chargers specify a charge rate of 4 amps for "small" batteries, and 8 amps for "large batteries". I'm not sure what sizes they consider small, but...

This is a "new" item at Canadian Tire and on sale for $129 for the set of 11mm-19mm. Extra Long ratcheting flex head wrenches. They have the same style set without the flex that specifically says made by GearWrench on it, but this one doesn't specify. And I can't see anything in GW's website...

I'm looking at picking up a right angle cordless drill to add to my collection, mostly for ease of drilling in between studs when wiring / plumbing my basement. Hoping to get some opinions or experiences on a couple different options. My main options are the DeWalt 20V or the Milwaukee M12...

As the title says, what's the easiest way to drain the hydraulic oil from a 2 post lift? This is a baseplate model with the hydraulic hose running along the ground. I'm moving so I need to disassemble and bring it with me. If I disconnected the hose from the cylinders and drove it "up" would...

Not sure if this is just a local thing, or if it's more wide spread, but has anyone else noticed the cost and availability of Knipex pliers has been getting worse? HD in Canada had the 10" Pliers Wrench regularly stocked for $57, and it was something I always thought I'd buy next time. Just the...

Wondering for those that own them, his useful do you find the Milwaukee M12 Screwdriver? HD near me has a good deal on it with two batteries included, but it seems to me like it would have a lot of overlap with my 1/4" hex impact driver and drill. Do people find it a more useful tool for...
