After many years of other priorities I'm finally going to fix this gash in the siding of my small garage. It's on the wall and in 20+yrs I've never had water or snow get in. It's not a common pattern otherwise I would replace the entire panel. I do have a panel that's about 5 ft long I could...

Accidentally spilled chain oil in a 20 volt rechargeable battery. I've tried draining it, wiping excess, spraying with cleaner into the holes. Should I even try charging it or just write it off?

Air compressor drain-I hope this helps someone: A little background, I've had my air compressor for years even before my current house. The compressor used to be on the floor but in the current garage it's been in the attic. Because it's in the attic it's been a hassle to drain. Get a ladder...

Was working on a chrome plumbing fixture and was curious how well a strap wrench would work to prevent scratching the chrome. For the rubber type straps how long do they last (stored in a drawer)? I've heard they're pretty worthless but lots of companies make them.

OK no Snap-on, Mac or other high dollar box is in my budget, even used. Looking in the 52" wide size, roller drawers/100lb and have it narrowed down to: 1) ProSteel-at Menards ($750 after $93 rebate) 2) Husky-at Home Depot ($800) Really wanted the Craftsman but not enough drawers in the top...

Just venting- Last weekend I broke my Craftsman digi-tork. Did some internet searching and Lowes had 16 in stock, went to the store finally found the spot for them on the hangar and not there. Hmmm, OK found the helper, we went back to the same spot, he looks up in the system, they're all in...
