    Generator outlet question

    I have a co-axial cable coming through the wall in the living room that I plan to move. I was thinking about trying to find or making an outlet that I can plug a drop cord into from a generator to power the outlet in case of a bad snow or ice storm knocks out the power. Has anyone seen...

    Breaker box

    I'm not sure what the proper name is for the breaker box so I apologize if I used the wrong term. Is there a formal or a website that tells you how many amps you need for how ever many circuits you're wanting to have? We have a pole shed that I am wanting to put power in. I'm going to have a...

    Lincoln 180 question

    I've googled and searched and I can't find a direct answer to this. Is a Lincoln 180 mig welder enough welder to use to replace the hitch on a boat trailer? The specs say 1/2 mild steel with flux core and I can't see that tubing being anything but mild steel. The hitch is nothing more than...

    Drawer label color

    I decided on the 56 Husky combo set and it's the black with black handles. When I put labels on my very very old Craftsman I used black letters on white tape labels. What color combo do you think would look best/more professional/less junky on an all black box. Right now I'm thinking black...

    Air Compressor- building regulator/gauge set

    We have a tractor supply black friday air compressor that we've had for years. It fell over and broke off the outlet where the hose goes in. I replaced that part but it always leaked air. Tried to fix it today and the Chicom pot metal/MIM part just broke off in a hunk. I'm wondering if I can...

    Tool box moving question

    I wanted to run an idea by the brain trust. When I get saved up for my Extreme box I'm going to put it in the shed. The big door is on the back so I'll have to take it around the building. Inside is gravel and I'm building a concrete pad to set my new box and my old craftsmans 24-ish inch box...

    Mix and match combos

    Does anyone mix and match tool boxes? Like you've got a nice 55 or 72" bottom box and end up needing more space for whatever reason, do you get a matching top box or some other brand?

    Valve stem "tool"

    I don't know what to call what I'm looking for but here goes. We are going to fill the rear tires on the Tractor with either washer fluid or antifreeze and I'm looking for a fitting that I can put on the valve stem and hook to a tube/hose. Anyone got any idea what you'd call that? All I can...

    Individual sockets

    Besides the truck brands, what are good made in 'Merica! brands to get individual sockets from? We found up all our hand tools that were scattered around the house/shed/barn/trucks/various boxes and I don't have a "complete" set of anything but a Stanley 1/4 set.

    HF Tool box Drawer sizes

    Maybe my google fu is weak but I can't any info on how deep (vertically) the drawers are for the HF 56 and 72 boxes. I've been sorting and arranging my tools in my old Craftsman small combo and I think I would be better served with a box with deep/tall drawers. But I can't find any info.
