I sure haven't. Sent my 3/8" stubby impact in for warranty service on 11/2. Checking on the website reveals "in repair" for the last two months. I've made phone call after phone call. I usually leave my number for callback, but no one ever calls. So I tried leaving a voicemail, no reply after 2...

Recommend me a sprayer setup. I've never had to paint this large of an area before. Closed cell was done a year ago and it's starting to yellow pretty quick now.

My shop has been up for a year. 2 months ago I had it spray foamed. Went on vacation and when we came back noticed a little water puddle in one area. Must have rained while we were gone but I'd never seen water inside before the foam. Today it is absolutely POURING so I went down to the shop to...

There's a guy local to me that builds and sells steel workbenches. I'm looking at a 2x6 and it gives the option for a 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2 thick steel surface. I'm doing mostly mechanical work on cars and light trucks. A bit of light welding here and there. Just need something to mount a vise and...

The thread about the toolbox abandoned at an apartment got me thinking back to something that I experienced almost 15 years ago.... I was working my first mechanic job. It was in the city, super high turnover rate. I stayed there about 18months. Part way through my time there they hired another...

I've now had 2 threads deleted, not locked, DELETED. One had a few hundred posts and I went to check it this morning, **** GONE. :dunno:

Picked this up from craigslist today. I needed one for the shop anyway and I thought buying an older one would make for a nice resto project with my son. Dont really know squat about it, but it works! Paid $100 Has 2 small holes on either side that looks like missing I'd tags possibly. Cant...

Is this a good setup/price? Better than what they sell at harbor freight? https://www.weldersupply.com/P/317/SmithCompleteMediumDutyO I've used a torch at work plenty for many years, but I just use what was there. Don't really know much about the quality/cost of different brands. I already...

I have a bunch of assorted sockets and wrenches that were leftover from incomplete sets that my dad gave me years ago. Just been collecting dust as I have many complete sets of other brands. There are no markings or engravings on anything! Prices listed include shipping to CONUS. The more you...

Not real impressed with dewalt right now. Bought a 20v 1/2" and 3/8" impact combo in september. One of the LEDs on my 3/8" went out. I called the service center and they said they would fix it and it'd take about 2 weeks. 2 F******** weeks? I use this thing every day. So then I mentioned that I...

I'm getting my lift wired up and I can't get the 2 pole 30a breaker to seat all the way. The attached picture shows what is preventing the breaker from being fully installed. Every slot in the panel looks the same. Do I need a special breaker??

Been going through YouTube and doing a lot of googling. If you take out the labor cost (confident that a team effort with my neighbor and brother in law will be successful) and go with a >$1 sq/ft tile, the cost doesn't appear to be prohibitively greater than epoxy. Here are the things I'm...

Just poured the slab last thursday and the building will be going up in the next couple weeks. Budget is stretched a bit tight, so I hadn't planned on doing anything other than a simple sealer. Now I'm starting to think now would probably be the best time to do something nice, before the floor...

First plan was to put up the building with no insulation and do foam in the future. Then I saw the price of foam and went :wtf: So I figure if Im gonna do the fiberglass roll insulation on a metal building it has to be done when the building goes up, which is some time in the next 3 weeks. Then...

I've been poring (pun intended) over a ton of threads about the million different ways to aid the curing process. Sprinklers, flooding, plastic mat, burlap mats, liquid curing aids, etc, etc. My pad just finished getting prepped today and concrete is scheduled for next thursday. I was hoping it...

Shop is going be 40' depth. Im used to having a toolbox up against the wall in front of the lift at work, leaving about 5-6' between the front of the car and the box. With an average size car on the lift that wouldn't leave a ton of room to pull another car behind it if need be. So I'm thinking...

Building isn't up yet. Concrete work starts next week. I had previously thought about just doing fans and waiting for the future to do AC but my wife is pushing me to just do it right off the bat. It's a 40x60x16. r10 faced batt insulation and 2 insulated doors. I'm wondering do I need to go...

Still planning out some last minute details on my building. 40x60x16 with east facing doors. No windows planned at the moment. I'm trying to figure out the best way to at least have some air flow until I can afford to put in AC in a year or two. I was thinking a big *** fan to pull the hot air...

After 10+ years of desire I finally have the opportunity to build the garage I've always wanted. Spent a lot of time with the building company going over details and sourcing a reliable contractor to pour the slab and install the building. Truth be told I know little to nothing about the...
