    Cherry picker/engine hoist caster replacement/upgrades

    I had a very nice cherry picker many moons ago. I didn't use it for years, so I gave it to a friend. I recently realized having one again would be helpful to me. I was shocked at the price tag of new ones these days, so I found a used 6 wheel (all swivel), 2 ton on marketplace for a really good...

    Whole home reverse osmosis on a well/septic

    We are approaching closing on a house that's on a well/septic/natural gas. Had the well tested, and it came back with ~3x more arsenic than the safe amount. We are pretty much dead set on a whole home RO, not just a point-of-use one. I will preface the rest of this by saying I know nothing about...

    Topdon Phoenix Lite 2, safe to buy off of Ebay?

    I'm pretty dead set on getting a Phoenix Lite 2 as I think it checks all of the boxes for what I'm looking for as a DIY. The ONLY thing I'm not sure of is if it will do crank relearns on 96-00 and early 00's GM trucks. Anyways, I see a lot of these listed for around $800 on a few different...

    Method/tool for cleaning rust from inside corners

    I'm replacing a bunch of front end components on my plow truck. Last night when I was down there, I noticed my bump stop horn on the driver's side was pretty rusted and a bit mangled. I made some support plates so I can weld them in on Saturday. Figured I'd prep the area and clean the existing...

    Looking for opinions/input on these induction heaters

    Good morning all. I've been looking up different induction heaters for my weekend warrioring. I do have an Oxy/Acetylene torch, but I think an induction heater would be really handy for single or a few nuts/bolts so I wouldn't have to drag the torches out. Also, with the way prices are for...

    Mitutoyo 543-790B indicator value?

    I have three of these indicators. I see the "new" prices online, but am looking to sell these. They are all in great condition, one is brand new, only being "used" to calibrate it. I want to post a classified ad but am not sure how much to ask. I don't have any pics as of right now because I'm...

    Foam for toolbox

    Hello all. I just pulled the trigger on a 56" U.S. General from HF. I would like to get some 2-layer cut-out foam for 5-6 of the drawers, plus maybe some drawers in my other 2 boxes. I was wondering if there was any cheaper stuff than the $35-$55 per-sheet stuff on Amazon. It doesn't have to be...

    Looking for a new lock cylinder for Husky 52" top box

    Hey all. I want to replace my lock cylinder with one that's keyed different. I'm NOT looking for replacement keys unless they come with a new cylinder and it's keyed different. I'm having a hell of a time trying to find an exact one that looks like this, aside from the fact that I don't know if...

    ANOTHER screwdriver thread

    Hey everyone. Am I the only one that doesn't ever get any relevant results when I use the search bar? I've tried doing a google search "Screwdrivers garage journal," but mostly find 2017 or older posts. Anyways, I'm looking for a basic Philips/flat blade screwdriver set. I've used the 8 piece...

    decent quality impact sockets for a decent price

    Good morning everyone. I just bought a Milwaukee 1/2" Fuel impact and 3/8 Fuel stubby impact a few weeks ago. I'm looking to get my own sets of shallow & deep metric and SAE sockets for both 1/2" and 3/8" drive. Also, a pair of swivel impact sockets in metric and SAE would be nice eventually. I...

    Tool reviews on YouTube

    Good morning everyone. I came across this guy on YouTube yesterday that does tool reviews. He's from Canada, the videos are pretty informative, and the guy is VERY hilarious and entertaining. I don't know if he's been mentioned before here, I'm assuming he has. However, when I used the search...

    I really need to hide my phone when I'm drinking!

    I was hanging out with my wife in the garage yesterday, keeping her company while she painted her canvases. Just then, I had remembered how my Dewalt bit driver and hammer drill are on their way out. I also remembered how I've been wanting to get the Milwaukee 1/2" FUEL impact. So, after about...

    Different size tank pressure

    Good morning, A co-worker and I were just talking about O2 and Air tanks and were both wondering about two different size tanks that were connected to the same output line. Would this cause an issue with the smaller tank being over-pressurized by the larger tank? If we got two "new" full tanks...

    "New Comment" notification?

    Most of the other forums that I'm on will send you a notification (usually by your username), telling you that somebody commented on a thread you are following. When you post, you are automatically "following" that thread. Is there an option to do this here? Am I just looking in the wrong place?

    Looking for a winch for a zero-turn mower

    Good morning everyone. My dad is looking for a winch for one of his zero turn mowers. It's a newer Exmark Lazer. He doesn't want anything too extravagant, but he obviously wants something that's going to hold up to a little abuse. The winch will primarily be used to pull the mower out of wet...

    Husky 52" bottom box issue

    Hey all, I've been lurking for a while, and decided to make an account a few days ago. I had nothing to make a post about, until I remembered that my dad's top drawer on his Husky box doesn't roll properly anymore. Long story short, about 4 years ago, there was a Husky 52" top+bottom box set...
