I could use some advice of my garage floor: I have a couple problems that could have separate solutions. 1) I have a 2 car garage. It appears to have been poured in 2 halves with a seam down the middle. The one floor sank a little at the front such that there’s a tapering step from around 1”...

Friends. I'm working on my new Packout boxes. (see the beginnings of my set-up here) I want to make a box of BASIC mechanical tools for my home build. So far I've got screwdrivers and pliers, ancient Craftsman 1/4" deep and shallow sockets in metric and SAE, allen keys, etc Purpose of this kit...

About to buy a 2018 Bobcat S550 from a rental place. Looks like it's in good shape. Been leased out for snow duty last few years. 850hrs. Any advice? It's a SJC machine, no hi-flow. Need to go inspect it on Friday and will buy it if it looks ok. Looking for advice on what to look for and...

Just got my 2013 F-150 back from the garage for inspection and an oil change. I've been neglecting all my vehicles lately, as I've been busy building a house in my spare time. The F150 needed rear brakes and rotors. I knew it, because it vibrated during braking. Oil change with Mobil 1...

On my way to get some scrap butcher block to use as tops for my miscellaneous collection of Kennedy chests and I have a couple questions. Some will be light duty work surfaces, some will support surfaces plates, and others still may just get upper chests on them. I think I have 4 or 5 of these...

I‘m having trouble with my chainsaws and could use your advice. I have a Husqvarna chain saw I can’t start. I rebuilt once before and it worked fine. Then I put it away with fuel in it. (I used the stuff in a can that doesn’t need oil mixed with it?) Now it won’t start. I have a 14” battery...

Time has come- need to cut bevels and my ancient Bosch (CS180) saw can't do it. Thoughts on Milwaukee vs Makita? Trying to stick with these as I have the batteries. Also have Bosch. Not sure if Bosch 18V fit Mafell? Comments appreciated. Trying to rule out yet another battery platform. To...

Sister thread to this one: I'll kick this off with some controversy; Snap On Hard handle ratchets. Don't love them. I find the square handle distracting. It's a screwdriver handle designed for torque, not for pulling. The soft grip is SO much nicer to pull. Least favorite is the stubby HH...

I have a lot of Snap On tools. But reading GJ, and respecting your views, I sometimes ask myself if I really need expensive tools for everything. Did a brake job yesterday and bought a Lisle caliper compressor. Lisle make decent speciality tools of the sort you don't want to buy from Snap On...
