    Dewalt Chuck Wobble Fix

    I've noticed that my two Dewalt drills (DCD996 and DCD777) have what I believe is some wobble in the chuck -- drill bits have a mild amount of variance when rotating, and it seems to be with any drill bit I use (though they're generally cheap bits, so maybe they're a little off to begin with)...

    Fasteners and Pre-Drilling

    I've been busy building shelving and storage in my garage for a few weeks now (off and on, as weather/work permits) and I've noticed an annoying trend. I'm building with 2x3s and 3/4" plywood, and I've noticed that if I don't pre-drill the holes in the 2x3s, they tend to split. I'm using 1-1/4"...

    Cold Storage for Batteries

    So I recently got on board with the 20v Dewalt platform, and I'm having a blast. With that said, living in PA, it's getting kinda chilly here, and I know cold isn't the best for batteries, and I'd like to make mine last for as long as possible. What's the best way to store batteries? I'd rather...

    Which Dewalt Driver?

    I'm loving my new Dewalt hammer drill, and picked up an inexpensive drill/battery/charger kit (primarily for the 2x 1.5ah batteries) as well. Now I'm looking for a decent driver. I've got a project coming up that will likely utilize a ton of screws, Tapcon and deck screws primarily. I'd like to...

    Right Angle Drill Adapters

    In my quest to properly outfit my garage with good storage and lighting, I find that I'm doing a lot more woodworking than I've ever expected to do in my lifetime. I'm not a fan of wood, but it's growing on me (pun intended). I'm finding though, that I have a fair number of holes I need to...

    Nine's Garage

    Hello everyone, I've been wanting to make a thread about my little slice of heaven, and finally got off of my lazy *** and took some pictures. I don't have much of the day my fianceé and I bought the house, but the garage was a pretty empty canvas. The earliest photo I have that I can find...

    1/2" Ratchet

    I don't need one, but I'd like to get my hands on another 1/2" drive ratchet wrench. I have a Kobalt 3/8" produced by Tekton that I really like, and at the moment my 1/2" go-to is a Pittsburgh Pro flex-head. I maintain and modify my own cars for pleasure and cost savings over going to the...

    Pry Bar Recommendation

    So I could use a good handled prybar for the garage. It isn't something I'd use super frequently, but right now I'm using a Stanley crowbar and sometimes it's not the best idea due to the hooked end. Harbor Freight sketches me out for pry bars, and the Lowes/Kobalt ones don't look much better...

    Tire Pressure Gauge

    I recently began competing in autocross, and using a pen-style tire pressure gauge to check and decrease air pressure in my tires. It seems woefully inaccurate though, and at best I can guess what pressure is in the tire by taking several readings, and frankly, it *****. There seems to be a...

    Tekton Ratchets?

    Hey everybody, I'm looking to add a new 3/8" ratchet to the family, something low-profile, non-flex-head, and preferably 72 tooth or higher. So far, it looks like the Tekton 3/8" Drive Quick Release 7" ratchet fits the bill, but I have a couple questions. I've been a huge fan of Kobalt, but it...
