First, please forgive me for starting this thread. Trust that I've searched and searched and read and read trying to find a tip on where to find someone to do a rebound hammer test on my slab. I've called several local lift installers, several concrete contractors, tons of tool rental places...

Given the amount of wisdom and experience I've seen here, this seems a wise place to solicit opinions on tools. I'm in need a some additional jack stands and I thought I'd like to have some screw type for easy adjustability, especially when trying to level the axle or on uneven surfaces as I...

I grew up with my father storing stuff in the attic and we recently "excavated" boxes that have been taped up for 30+ years. We found all kinds of cool and totally useless ****, and it would've been nice to have some of that stuff through the years, but instead it was out of sight - out of mind...

So I've convinced my wife that as a requirement for father's day that I'm supposed to get tools. This year I've specified something from Snap-on... I didn't really care what she got since I have basically no Snap-on in my box anyway. But now she wants me to specify... What do you suggest I...

First, I gotta say I'm very excited to finally have a reason to be a part of this board! After living in a condo (no garage!) for 10 years in Seattle, we moved to Sarasota and bought our first home last year (July '09). So now I finally have a garage to call my own and make it what I will...

I can blame you guys for this one... ever since I joined and started frequenting this forum, I've been drawn more and more to looking at vintage tools and stuff. So the other day I reply to a CL ad and score this old AJAX #2711 mechanical floor jack. It was reasonably priced but clearly needs...

I'm seriously considering this box because it seems a fair deal at $200, but I wanted to get an idea of what market value is on it. It's legit Mac and it's in good functional condition even if its not the prettiest (I'm actually digging the patina). Here's a pic... let me know what you think:

My garage will be modest compared to the many I drool over here, but I'm just glad to have a garage again after 10 years of condo living and working on my cars in the condo parking lot (with the blue hairs giving me hell all the time). But to the point... I'm on a budget, have some freebie...

I've lurked here for a good while and joined not so long ago, but now I think I'm ready to enter the fray properly. We purchased our first home last July (2009) and I'm just getting to the point of making progress on setting up my garage. After spending the previous 10 years in Seattle using...
