Found madeinusatools.com while looking for a Michigan brand ladder. Didn't end up ordering from them due to high shipping costs for a ladder (not sure what their shipping cost is for tools though). Anyways, this is the first time I've stumbled across this company, but their customer service was...

Looking to buy some used welding leads about 40ft (can be two 20ft leads) to make a set of jumper cables for my diesel pickup truck. I would like to find 1/0 cable but would consider 2 AWG also. Thanks

Need a short 3/16" hex key for my Milwaukee circular saw, tried to buy singles online, but the cost is to much. Looking for any good USA made brand (Bondhus, Craftsman, Eklind, Allen, etc) Thanks

Hi, I've got a Milwaukee circular saw I am refurbishing and I need something similar to the "Type Y" grease that they sell. It's kind of expensive for what you get and it's hard to find. Most of y'all are more familiar with different greases and their properties, so I figured it best to ask...

Hi, I've posted this on another electronics forum, but I haven't got many answers yet. I figured I'd try asking Garage Journal because folks on here know a little bit about everything. So if anybody knows if the two parts I have linked below will work, I'd appreciate any input. Here's the link...

Hi, I found this Snap On adjustable wrench yesterday while I was doing some work at a house. I saw a bunch of tools laying in a puddle of water all rusted badly. I happened to spot this wrench because the chrome on it was still in fair shape. I washed the mud off it and couldn't believe it was...

As the title suggests, I'm wondering if anybody knows of some good sellers on EBay or some other source to buy broken power tools to repair at a fair price. I've scored several good deals on some Milwaukee drills off EBay, but the majority of the sellers charge way too much for tools that don't...

Saw this and it made me laugh. I contacted the seller so they could change the ad. What other memorable incorrect ads have y'all come across?

Hi, I'm trying to fix up an old Bosch 1587AVS jigsaw I got off EBay and I need some advice before I tear something up. The original problem was that it wouldn't hold a blade, that was an easy fix finding a replacement part. I figured while the gearcase is already open, I'm going to clean the...

Looking for some woodworking clamps in various lengths. Mainly interested in bar clamps, but I'd consider pipe clamps too. Bessey, Jorgenson, or other quality brands. Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to repair a Dewalt Oscillating tool, and to do that I had to take the circuit board out. I accidentally chipped one of the components trying to get the board out. I've been watching several electronic videos on how to desolder and replace SMD components like this and I've...

Hi, So I've bought a Dewalt DCS355 off EBay that wasn't working. Took a risk buying it not knowing exactly what was wrong with it, but I have some experience repairing Dewalt power tools. I assumed there was a burnt out wire and I was correct. I finally got around to taking it apart today and...

Hi, I've got a project and could use a soldering station. I've been reading and the Fx-888d would seem to fit my price point and what I need. I've seen that it goes for $70 on sale sometimes, I was wandering if somebody on here knows when they might go on sale. I'm willing to wait a couple...

Hi, I realize this is a little out of place here on Garage Journal, but I could use a good set of fishing pliers. I'm guessing they should be stainless. I'm not doing any saltwater fishing, just bass fishing. They don't have to be anything fancy, a regular pair of needle nose pliers would work...

Hi, I've recently bought a Bosch 1587AVS on EBay, and it needs a few parts to get it in optimal working condition. I'll take whatever you got if the price is right, working or non working. Parts I need: Switch assembly Aluminum base plate Thanks

Hi, I found a used Bosch 1587AVS with a case for $30 shipped. The seller says it's fully functional but has one issue, something to do with the blade lock. I looked at the parts diagram and Bosch parts are pretty reasonable in price, so I believe it can be repaired for under $50. What do...

Hi, I currently have a Fiskars pole saw that has served me well the past few years, but we have some branches around my roof that we can't get with the Fiskars. I'll measure it later and see how long it is. My dad was kinda looking at the Silky's, but I was wondering if there was a more cost...
