I lost the cookies on my other computer and also lost my password. I have sent for the "lost password" several times but never got any response. How do I get my password? It doesn't show when I go to "user CP" and I cant change it unless I know the old one. Any help here?

What would cause several outlets go dead once in a while? I have two rooms that the power goes out for hours or sometimes days at a time, ceiling light and fans still work. I have replaced the outlets in both rooms but it hasn't helped. The breaker doesn't trip. After a while we just check and...

I just got this new Armstrong 1/4 drive ratchet, I love this thing. This is 100 times better than the old Craftsman ratchet that I have been using for the last 35 years. I have mostly Craftsman tools and really never had many complaints about them but there is a huge difference in these...

This is my latest old tool purchase. I bought it at a large neighborhood yard sale in a retirement community in Florida. $5.00 and it works perfect. ******** sander.

Has anyone tried this under hood light? It clamps to the bottom of the hood and is cordless/rechargeable. I looked at one made by Backo? that was around $150.00, Harbor Freights is $29.00. If this has already been discussed I apologize...

Update in this thread. Its finished. Looks pretty good, not perfect but that is my fault Click here. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=220564

Update! Im ready for the Epoxy coat tomorrow! I've spent the last 2 weeks scrubbing, filling cracks and etching my garage floor. Tomorrow is supposed to be 72 degrees so the Epoxy Coat is going down. I'm sure the floor is ready I just worry about getting it cut in around the edges and spread...

I'm going to coat the floor of my house garage. I don't park in here, just bicycles and storage. What is wrong with using the epoxy floor coating from Home Depot? It is Rustoleum brand and seems like decent stuff. I'm not really trying to be cheap but if it is good enough I cant see spending...

Does anyone know anything about this caliper spreader. It looks like it has everything needed for most jobs, I don't know who makes it but I'm sure its Chicom. Looking for a set to use at home a few times a year, tired of the rentals from AutoZone, I'd rather have my...

What do you call those ratchets that have a crank handle on the end? Kind of like a right angle that you turn the crank to turn the socket. I don't know what they are called but I had occasion to use one the other day and it worked where I couldn't get anything else to work. A guy I know had one...

I have a set of Craftsman stubby SAE combination wrenches, the set only goes up to 5/8, today I went to Northern to get an 11/16 and 3/4 to complete the set, these are KLUTCH branded, they look EXACTLY like the Craftsmans except the name. Turn them over and you cant tell them apart. I was very...

I have a 1/2" drive pneumatic Ingersoll Rand Impact, the socket retaining ring is buggered up and wont hold the socket. I've been looking on the IR sites and cant find anything. Its just a steel split ring. Any ideas where to get one??

I've seen several comments on here about "lobster claw" wrenches, mostly about Craftsman I think. What exactly does that mean? They aren't any good? Are all Craftsman wrenches this way? Thanks Guess I'm not in the loop.

I need another 4"-5" bearing separator. I cant afford Snap On for the occasional rear end rebuild here at home. Any body tried HF or another China brand. The one I have now is Chinese and one of the long threaded rods stripped. Amazon has one for $60 but I don't know where its made.

I have a lot of Craftsman screw drivers but I'm not really happy with a lot of them. Are Snap on screw drivers that much better for a home shop? I really do a lot of mechanical work restoring old cars for myself and some for other people. Do they justify the price??

I needed a deep 7mm 1/4 in drive socket the other day so I grabbed these at Lowes. Anyone know anything good or bad about them? They seem decent to me...

I need a set of these, anybody say yay or nay on them...

I made this in high school shop class 40 years ago. I dont use it a lot but it is functional. The little hole drilled in the side of the head shows that it was graded by the teacher. I also made an aluminum meat tenderizer mallet that my wife still uses.

I found this in my Step fathers garage after he died, I've never seen one of these and almost hurt myself trying to figure out what it was and how to use it :headscrat. I figured out that its for pulling nails. I have no idea how old it is buts its made by Crescent.

I know a lot of guys dont loan tools at all but I will loan a few things. I have an engine crane that I bought new about 15 years ago, I only use it a few times a year so I will loan it to my friends. About 3 years ago I got to looking around my shop and it occured to me that I hadnt seen the...
