Hi, I need some help building a bike rack for two e-bikes to place over the bed in my Chevy Avalanche. What I've initially done is put in my parameters and requests to Chat Gpt. After going back and forth a bit, It seems like this is a good basic plan. Here's my ask, Would fabricators and CAD...

Hello, I am in need of a torque wrench. And since I don’t have experience with them I thought I would ask what foot pounds range would be most used. My use case is general automotive, small engine and DIY fasteners, maybe appliances, gun smithing. I also realize that multiple torque wrenches are...

I do not know much about lathes but I saw this on my local Craigslist for free and thought, maybe? Hopefully some with knowledge of this or an opinon ( did I just ask for opinions from this forum??, LOL) could discuss. Thanks, Griff...

I saw a thread reviewing the Tekton split beam torque wrench, are there opinions on the micrometer torque wrenches from Tekton? Pricing is good, $44.00 and I have a $15 credit. My usage is working on my Jag and 4Runner, small engine and general mechanic work (non-professional).

Greetings, I have to do some tree trimming and I was looking at getting the DeWalt pole saw. Main reason for this is that I already run DeWalt, so I have several batteries and didn't want to start a new platform. Have you had any experience using this product? Thoughts? Good or bad? Thanks Griff

Do you guys have a preference for a Dewalt 18v variable speed drill. The drill works perfectly, the batteries gave up the ghost. Right or wrong I'm the type of guy that has trouble tossing out perfectly good items to buy new, unless absolutely necessary. I'm thinking of picking up an...

I have a question about wrenches in general. I see in comparison photos the some wrenches are scalloped along the beam, KTC, Stalwillie, and others are not, Snap On, Wright, Gear Wrench, etc, etc. Is there a comfort difference? I know this is personal preference and subjective, but it seems to...

Hey Y’all, I have a gas fireplace in my basement shop and the glass has a film baked on the inside. I can’t get it off. Windex, Dawn, Soft Scrub didn’t work. I’m hesitant to use abrasive such as Commet, a Scotch Brite etc as I may scratch the glass. Suggestions? Thanks, Griff

I found this on Facebook marketplace and was going to buy it but I’m not sure of the model. Has anyone used a tool like this before? :willy_nil Griff

I saw this at a Habitat for Humanity restore and thought it was interesting. Not sure if it’s someone’s imaginative Frankenstein or not. Have you seen this before? Thanks, Griff

Greetings GJ, I am looking to make a rolling workbench to use since my shop space is limited to a suburban one car garage for now. As I am formulating my plan and best use of space, I think it is a good idea to have as many tools as I can on casters to free up the floor. I really liked...

I have almost and unanswerable question, but here goes. I am just getting into auto restoration/customization for my own fun. I have been building a tool collection over the last 40 years. Previously I did woodworking. My auto tools consist of a CM set that I purchased in 1978, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2...

Greetings GJ, If I may start off by thanking you for the body of knowledge and assistance the collective offers. This is only my third post because I have very little to offer that you masters haven't already forgotten. I am very mechanical and can build much however; not so much with...
