    Tire Socks vs. Chains for Snow/Ice

    We're getting ready to travel to a mountainous area in May/June that could still see snowy conditions. I'm hoping the roads will be treated and clear where we need to go, but just in case I'm considering buying a set of tire socks as a backup. Are these worth the money or should I just get a set...

    Flexzilla hose whips

    Anyone here making their own flexzilla air tool whips or know where to get some made? I need a few 6 to 8 ft. whips for grinders and burr tools, but just need 1/4" brass male NPT ends. I don't like the ball swivel joints they use on some of them. I see the hose is available in bulk.

    PVC Cement

    Anyone have a good tip for storing PVC cement to keep it from drying out. Seems like I have to buy a new can every time I need to glue some joints. I always buy the smallest container because no matter how tight I put the cap back on, it seems to be dried out when I need it.

    Question on Pressure Reducing Valves

    I had to replace a 2 year old pressure reducing valve today that was groaning and moaning every time we used the hot or cold water, took a shower or flushed the toilet. The previous one lasted 32 years. When I replaced it two years ago I used this valve...

    Anyone want to buy a used garage in Alabama?

    This 30' x 30' metal building popped up on our salvage sales at work. Would be a good deal for someone. Not quite what I want for my location, but someone could get some good use out of it. https://investmentrecovery.southerncompany.com/program/auction.cfm?do=detail&auctionID=7485

    Living the Dream in Hampton, GA

    I found a news article in a small local paper about a guy I used to run around with in high school. I worked in his dad's gas station for a while and we built some wild rides in the service bays there in Atlanta. Here's a link to the article and photos of his shop. I wish there were photos of...

    Riding mower won't start

    Hopefully someone here can help me figure out why my mower won't start. It was running fine when I last used it a week ago. I have a Murray 40" riding mower with 13.5 HP Briggs and Stratton engine. When I turned the key, I got nothing so I charged the battery. Still nothing. Started inspecting...

    Air Whips

    I've got to make some short air hoses to connect my blaster and hose reel to shop air. The Western Enterprises hose repair kit looks pretty good, but is a bit pricey. I'm wanting crimped ferrules or similar, but not just barbed hose fittings with worm clamps. Anyone got any recommendations...
