I have a few racks of the wire (aka metro) shelving from Costco set up in a work closet. I need a tool box that can sit on the shelves with slide out drawers just to hold a small collection of mechanical tools for some fine work I do in there. The metro rack is 20” deep, so I have been looking...

Have a project where I need to join 1/4" wall square tube to each other and also to some 1/2". All of it is mild steel, either ASTM A500 or A36. I'm going to use my Miller with some solid core 0.35 ER70S wire. So I have a tank of C25 on the MIG but technically I'm supposed to use 100% CO2 for...

You know, those tools you get when you buy something. I just bought a very nice Eley hose reel and it came with a great L shaped hex wrench. I think it may even be stainless steel, like the bolts. But I used to have dozens of these little hex keys, flat wrenches, etc that came with all the...

A bunch of Yost vises, on sale very cheap. Yes, not for the vise snobs if that's your vice. But decent enough for home use. https://yostvises.com/search?q=yost%2090&resources%5Btype%5D=product

I'm building an armature to hold a ski lift chair. Basically 4" tube with a crosspiece and a brace. At the end of the crosspiece will hang the mount for the chair. Along the lines of what's pictured here: What I need is a turntable bearing to put in line with where the chair mounts to the...

I'm looking for a set of Torx driver bits to keep on the bike (to save space/weight vs. my larger 1/4"-3/8" socket sized set). I'd like them to be of the absolute highest quality as I can't risk a failure. Amazon doesn't seem to have anything that doesn't feature reviews making me question...

I am adding an air compressor to my favorite project car, the HMMWV. The compressor sits up front in the engine compartment on a bracket. Mine came without that setup, so I have obtained the correct 24V Milspec compressor and bracket to add in to the vehicle. The issue is the military did not...

I sure can't find one. I have a bunch of 3/8" drive torx and other bits that I would like to use with my 1/4" drive inch-pound torque wrench. No shortage of 3/8"F to 1/4"M adapter, but I can't seem to find one going the other way. Anyone seen one?

tl;dr Found a drainage pipe and don't know where it's coming from. How can I trace it? Long story: So I found some mysterious white drainage pipe buried in my backyard. Background my house is on a gentle slope from the street that ends with a river in the backyard. My house has...

I have a Miller Spectrum 375 plasma cutter and it works on either 120V 20A or 230V 30A. My garage is hardwired for 230V 30A with a 6-50R outlet that I use for my TIG and MIG setups. Problem is the plasma cutter unit is supplied with a 5-20P plug as pictured below. The instruction manual...

There's a mill drill for sale not far from me in a local auction and I am thinking of buying it. Very similar to the one below, it's an EMCO 20" and is being sold with some accessories so I think it will be a good starter package if it doesn't get too expensive. Now the hard part: I need to...

This lathe has popped up at an estate auction. Before I make a trek to go see if I can get it, I’d like to know what it is and what the power requirements would be and whether it’s worth investing my time on. The auctioneer unfortunately had no further info, just this terrible photo. I only...

Has anyone used/installed/had experience with a pepper spray alarm system? I have a shop on piece of land that's quite rural, and has no power or communications (other than a generator for when I'm on site). I'd like to protect the shop as best as possible but a regular alarm system is out...

I need to replace 8 or 10 zerks on a piece of equipment I have. I'd like to get a whole box of zerks, since it seems cheaper than buying one at a time. But sorting through the reviews on Amazon has not left me confident in the quality of these assortments. Can anyone make a recommendation...

My nephew is starting a once-a-week intro welding class after school on Thursdays. The tuition for the class was my birthday gift to him as he's in 12th grade finishing high school. He's waiting to hear back from a few schools but is going on to study engineering next year (knock on wood)...
