Has anyone used this table to create a lift workbench for small engine work (mowers, snow blowers, etc.)? I wonder how sturdy it would be if you removed the wheels and added a bigger base along with a top by might be 3’x4’. If you have, share your experience and some pics of your table/usage...

So I repaired my Ryobi 18V Hybrid Propane Heater Model PCL801 (Pic1). I wanted to share the easy repair so it might help others: BACKGROUND I bought this used on eBay. It was listed as used but in tested working condition. When it arrived it was missing the propane hose. That is kind of a big...

So let me describe the setting first: I have a newer (~5 year old) home with the common 3 stall garage. A double stall garage that holds the 2 vehicles and the offset single stall that is my workshop (mainly mechanical, some wood). When we moved in I thought my garage floor was sealed with...

Does anyone know what type of propane adapter fits this heater? The connection is an odd one. Hoses from Ryobi are $75+. I thought the Blackstone Griddle hose/connection might work, but it is different. I think Ridgid had a similar heater, but it has the same connection.

I thought I would share the hack I did to my MityVac evacuation pump. These are the vacuum pumps that you hand pump and **** up fluids (oils, fluids, etc.) from small engines, automobiles, etc. This solution should work for most any brand evacuation pump that is built similarly and most of us...

See attached photo. It looks like HF is clearing out their existing mini tire changer (on the right) and has a replacement (on the left) that looks about the same. The new one is currently on sale for $44.99 until 12-Nov-2023. Anyone use the new one yet? Comments?

I have the Harbor Freight Motorcycle Lift model 69904. I bought it used and the jack was leaking. Refer to the attached pic. I replace parts 25A and 26A.

I have a Columbian vise #43 I am restoring. The main handle has a bend in it as does the swivel lock handle. I am thinking about picking up one of those 12 ton shop presses like Harbor Freight sells. I hate to do that and take up the floor space with a rarely used tool. Any other options...

I wanted to share an observation regarding getting kids interested in these types of things. I am sure I have read similar threads about this topic before in the Garage Journal. However I wanted to share my observation that might be helpful. Background: I am a father of two adult children and...

All, see example below. I need a chest of drawers I can pull out completely and put on a benchtop to search for small parts (nuts/bolts, etc.). It needs to be heavy duty (each drawer could be 10lbs). You know those perfect garages that have every nut and bolt in a little cubby easy to...

I thought I would share my garage heater and small welding cart hack. So the challenge was making the setup and teardown of my Mr. Heater 30,000/60,000 BTU propane heater easier. It was always a bit of a pain to: 1. Haul out the heater 2. Haul out the propane tank 3. Get a wrench and connect...

Thoughts on how to reuse and re-purpose in the shop? I have used Google and Pinterest and found nothing. I searched this forum and found nothing. I have to believe this has been discussed. What clever things can I do with the can?

Can anyone share the correct name of this tool. I believe it has something to do with electricity. I see many "electrician knives with a similar blade to this". Thx.
