My local Sears Hardware only has China sets. I stopped at my local Ace Hardware, they had SAE & Metric sets made in the USA and 3/8 drive impact set made in the USA. The rest was China :( My first thought was to buy it. But then I started thinking. If something breaks, it will be replaced...

Looking to add a set of short SAE & metric impact socket sets. What do you recommend as the best deal? Not cheapest, not most expensive, good quality since i'll be using it for years to come and possible pass it down to my kids. Made in the USA would be a huge +. Sears craftsman? I also...

Looking at purchasing a pressure bleed system. The 2 that are on my list is the Motive and the Mityvac. I've been told pressure bleeding is easier/better than vacuum bleeding. What do you guys like and why? For now I'll be doing my '03 Chevy 3500, '07 Toyota Prius & '08 Toyota Sequoia...

I just pulled 5 of these Modine V193 Vertical Hydronic steam/hot water heaters from a factory. I wish my garage had tall enough ceilings to use them since I have radiant heating in the house. Would these be good for a home shop? I put them on craigslist for $150 each, any other place I...

Ran across these toolboxes at Costco today. I really like the color and seem well put together. I don't need anymore toolboxes, but was wondering what everyone thought about these??

This is couple month old Harbor Freight 5 drawer tool/service cart. It's basically brand new. Save yourself money/tax/assembly if your looking for one of these. For the price, it's a really nice sturdy cart. $150 OBO and I can help with delivery if within 10 miles of Wauconda, IL.

Pulled this out of a demo a couple of years ago. Never had room for it. Now that my garage is slowly coming together and about to have a nice solid workbench, I thought I'd see about using this. 1. What brand/model is it? 2. Is it good quality? Worth rebuilding/refinishing? 3. If yes to...

I got this table from a client. It's 5' x 3' solid maple butcher block with heavy solid oak base. We don't need it in our kitchen. How would you use it in your garage? What would you do with the legs? I would love to set it up as a workstation, but don't have the room in the garage...
