I’m looking to add some trim along at the top of the plywood paneling in my garage. Unfortunately the back right corner of the garage has settled a bit. When I setup my laser level, the right side is nearly 2 inches lower than the left side. I will eventually add some upper cabinets to this...

I live in California and I have a detached garage. I recently added Rockwool for sound insulation. I’m going to next cover the walls with plywood. I’ve read mixed thoughts on whether I need to add a vapor barrier over the insulation before covering the walls up. The garage isn’t heated nor...

My main electrical panel is mounted to the exterior of my garage. The main panel supplies 125 amps to a sub panel within my house. I am looking to replace a few of the breakers on my main panel that feed the circuits within the garage. I've already removed some of the old wiring and breakers...

Due to some termite damage, I’ve had to repair some of the studs along this garage wall. I’m doing so, I’ve needed to temporally remove some of the diagonal bracing to make the repairs. Given the exterior of the building is stucco and there is no exterior sheathing, this diagonal bracing is very...

I have a garage that was built in the 1950s. The exterior is stucco, and on the inside, some of the tarpaper is failing. I also had to replace some studs due to termite activity, which also caused some of the damage to the tarpaper. After a big rain, I noticed some water coming into to the...

I have a set of Snap On screwdrivers with green hard handles and someone borrowed the #2 Philips and never gave it back. I'm looking for a replacement SDDP42 with the same green handle as the rest of my set.

The new headlights that I'm installing on my Volvo come with all terminals and relays needed to upgrade the wiring. The terminals are apparently known as AMP terminals. I've never used these type of terminals before, but have always only used the typical crimpers for insulated terminals...

I'm looking to fill in some of the missing wrenches from my grandfathers tools. These are GM Goodwrench, made in the U.S.A., not the ones sold at O'Reilly's. I believe these were bought at Sam's Club awhile ago. If I can't find the exact replacement, I'd also consider a replacement of a...

I'm looking for some sockets for a travel box I'm putting together. Here is what I'm in need of. -1/4" Metric, Shallow Set -1/4" Standard, Shallow Set -3/8" Metric, Shallow Set -3/8" Standard, Shallow Set Looking for individual socket sets, or a complete set with everything in one set. Must...

So after reading a couple of threads about electrolysis rust removal, I decided to set on and try it myself. Like many, I was able to find most of the necessary supplies around the house. Here is what I used: 10amp battery charger 2 gallons of distilled water Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda...

So as I'm beginning to plan the organization of my toolbox, one thought, among many, has popped into my head and I though I would come to yu guys to see which you prefer. Do you have one drawer for your metric tools and another drawer for your standard tools? Or do you prefer one drawer for...

I'm looking into socket organization for my 145 piece all 6 point socket set and I decided on the Ernst system. Now as I've been looking around at the Ernest rails, I see they come in 8", 13", and 18" lengths. My question is, how many sockets can I fit on each rail? I understand it depends on...

I hear about people breaking tools all the time and sending them in for repair/replacement all the time. Well in my limited time wrenching I've never once broke a tool. How do tools break? Are people not using them as intended? Are there manufacturing defects in the tools? Or am I just overly...

Hey guys, I was cleaning some old stuff up in the garage and I found my Dad's old 1/2 speeder. The only thing is it looks like someone might have used it to pry something maybe and bent it a bit. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, I've never even used one before, to see if it affects...

I bought some tools off a guy on Craigslist last week, and now he sent me an email saying he has some more tools he is looking to sell and wanted to give me the first crack on them before he posts it on Craigslist tomorrow. I don't know anything more that what the pictures show, so what would...

Well I finally have a little bit of a score to share with you guys. Most of the time when a decent tool ad comes up on Craigslist around here it's either too far away, or it's junk and the seller wants gold for it, or someone already beats me to it. Well not this time. I was posted around...

So at my local Mr.Tool (used tool store) the guy has a used Snap-On 59C that he is asking $295 for. I've been looking to pick up a used Snap-On top box for awhile now and this one seems to be a fair deal. It has a little bit of surface rust around the bottom edge, but otherwise seems to be in...

Hey guys, I need an opinion real quick, should I buy this box for $150 or not? There is a little surface rust on the top of the roll cab, but no big dents or anything. All the drawers open smoothly.
