What's your favorite brand of floor-dry? I bought some at Menards and it doesn't seem like it does much at all. Anytime I have any sort of oil spill, I dump it on immediately, and still end up with a big oil spot on the floor - whether I step on it and work it in, or just leave it to soak...

I know, another one of these threads… but I haven’t seen one that’s newer than a couple years old, so I wanted to see if there are any new opinions. In reading the old threads on this site, it seems like tekton had a pretty large following, and get very good reviews on sites like Amazon. But...

1/2" drive Craftsman easy-read 6pt sockets that I bought years ago as a full set.. These three sockets are 7/8", 15/16", and 1".. why is the hole in the 15/16" smaller than the other two? Its the only socket in the whole set that is that way, and it doesn't fit on my peg-style socket tray.

Now that the series 3 has been out for a month or two, has anyone had a chance to compare them to the series 2? Looking at getting a new 56" box, and from the one photo I've found online, I think I like the drawer layout on the 3 better, but I'm a little concerned with the weight difference on...

I am needing an air compressor for my shop, and I'm unsure of my size needs. Most of my tools are cordless so the majority of my compressor usage will be airing up tires on vehicles/utvs/mower, and blowing off my lawnmower, radiators, etc.. I'm (currently) torn between two - One is a 30-gallon...

I have 2 ceiling fans running on 1 switch. The switch I bought is rated at 5A and stated that its for multiple fans.. Hooked it up tonight to test it and my fans buzz when they are on anything other than high. Is that something with the fans and I'm just going to have to live with it (turn...

I'm perplexed by vapor barriers (cold climate where we are heating all winter). My understanding is that they keep the moisture thats in the warm interior air inside, so when the warm temps meet the cold temps somewhere in the wall, there is no moisture in that air and it cannot condensate...

What's the general consensus here on using batt insulation in a pole shed vs having it spray foamed? I haven't gotten actual numbers to put to the project yet, but the spray foam will obviously be significantly more expensive.. but is it worth it?

I have a 40x48x14 shop with a 7x28 loft along one side. I have 9 high-bay ufo-style lights hanging from the ceiling and will be adding lighting under the loft and over the workbench.. I'm having a hard time deciding if I should put them all on one switch so all the lights come on at once when I...

I built a loft in my shop with the bottom of the joists @ 7'4", and was planning on using some 4' tube style LED fixtures tucked up in the joists a little so they are flush with the bottom (so I don't lose any headroom), but I am now contemplating adding some plywood to the bottom of the joists...

Will be finishing out the inside of my shop next spring (ceiling and walls), and I've been seeing a few pictures of shops with wainscoting on the inside, and I think it looks pretty sharp, but I'm curious if there are any disadvantages to it.. electrical, hanging stuff on the wall, etc.. Here...

Building a 40x48 shop and haven't decided how I'm going to heat it yet.. I want the shop heated all the time, but only need it "working temps" maybe an evening to two a week. I have heard about guys that heat the concrete to 45, and then use a standing hanging unit to bring it up to 65 when...

Looking for some insights and opinions. Getting ready to build a 40x48 pole shed/shop in southern Iowa.. Sorry if all of this has been discussed already! 1. In-floor radiant heat vs a "standard" garage heater. I won't be working in there daily or anything, maybe once a week or so. I don't...
