Hi, I tried to mount my Harbor Freight manual tire changer temporarily and was discouraged when I hit the pictured. It looks like the back of a round lol. I have it mounted outside on another slab but would like portability during bad weather. So how do I miss stuff like this in the future...

I am pretty good at winding and unwinding the TorqueMaster springs on my single garage door. I have everything perfect. On my double garage door I was surprised to see 2 adjustments. Can I follow the process for unwinding the springs one at a time or do I have to keep moving the ladder back and...

I live in the Fredericksburg area of Virginia so summers easily hit upper 90's and winter lows are easily in the lower 20's. It doesn't get much worse than that for long either way. Garage size is 36wx22dx11h. For heat, I am currently using a Procom 30000 BTU Vent Free heater running to my in...

There was some magnet paints chassis saver (por 15 like) that dropped on the concrete during a project. The manufacturer refused to let me know if it could be removed chemically so I ground the light areas with a 40 grit diamond cup 7 inch grinder. The concrete around it is about 14 years old...

Where do you guys store/hang, etc. your funnels? It's hard enough to keep them clean for the next use and I really hate oil, etc dripping all over my garage floor. I have tried storing outside and then they get UV damaged, leaves in them along with dust.

One of my garage doors suddenly decided to exhibit the below behavior. After grinding my concrete floor in prep for Kilz 1 part epoxy I used my leaf blower to clean up a bunch of dust. Part of that effort was leaf blowing the garage door area. Shortly thereafter after pressing the garage door...

I run the below on all of my vehicles and love how I can pull the battery out quickly without much of a hassle but in turn they can make it pretty hard to troubleshoot when necessary because once you lift the plastic covers you lose connection to the battery. The covers also hide corrosion...

I know that I can run to my "local" bodyshop (1 hour round trip) like many prefer to do. However, the second that the majority of things became available online I do anything that I can to avoid B&M stores. So where do you get your automotive paints the cheapest? Is it still locally? I am no...

I have some plastidip from DYC that I want to dip one of my vehicles with. Unfortunately it will soon be too cold in Virginia to do the job and I don't want to lose the expensive gallons that I paid for. Any ideas on indoor or outdoor paint booth setups with heat? I don't want to break my...

Hi, I purchased this unit for $20 bucks at an estate sale. It is really good at grinding concrete without the stick but becomes very unwieldy when the stick is installed. For the price, I would like to use it to grind down sections of my garage floor a piece at a time. Also, it came with 2...

**Apologies in advance for this not being garage related but you all know how it is.** I have a few hundred nails to remove for on about 20 19 foot long rotten deck boards. There is no standing room underneath and my back isn't the greatest nor are my knees. The nails are pretty sunk in. Any...

I am doing my garage floor 1/3 at a time and was able to use prosoco 600 to etch the 1st part and it has been amazing with no grinding whatsoever. No damage when moving jacks across the garage floor or jacking. I can't believe it. Unfortunately the 2/3 section using the same methodology has not...

Hello, I have experienced this in the past and can't remember what I did but it was hell. This is an M8 1.25 ancient harbor freight tap that decided to get stuck in the 9/32 hole that I drilled out for it. I am trying vice grips and lubrication at this point but all I hear are major snapping...

Hello, I was on a budget when I put this epoxy down after etching the concrete floor. It looks great but doubt it will hold up to jack stands and floor jacks. Is there something that I can do to my existing floor jacks and jack stands to reduce surface damage? Thanks.

Hi, I have a 3 car garage. There is a large door for 2 cars and a single door for 1 car. The 1 car door has been giving me grief. It seems like whoever installed this might not have done it properly. They connected the bracket directly to the door. Now that area of the door is breaking. I...
