I've got this old Devillbiss air dryer in my garage, it works great but it just started leaking air out of the regulator diaphragm. I don't see a way to take it apart. I think the model is an HB502. Is this repairable or is it time to chuck it and buy a new one? Pic is from the internet but mine...

I've got this older Snap-on box that I want to rekey. I have the lock cylinder to replace it with, but I'm having trouble getting this one out. I have the key if I need it. I thought I could access it by removing the top drawer, but it's a roll top design so the roll top is still in the way. The...

I'm looking for a source for the older double sided key lock cylinders for my older snap on box. I need it to match my old Y-10 keys. Last time I needed one maybe five years ago they were on ebay but I can't find them anywhere now.

I am mounting a TV on the wall in my shop. I don't have room for the dish box or dvd player near the tv so I want to mount them on the other side of the shop under the work bench. instead of running two Hdmi cables, can I run just a single cable and a jumper Hdmi cable from the dvd box to the...

I have a few cheap fluorescent lights that I would like to add pull chains to. I have a few extra switches I picked up for my ceiling fans. I just need to know which wires to clip into to splice the switch into. Thanks.

I had my garage built in 2002 and I never had a mouse problem until this year. I built one of those nifty traps with a 5 gallon bucket and I've caught 4 in just over a week. I'm nervous about poison because I don't want them dying in one of my cars. I already found a bunch of straw packed...

I did a search but didn't come up with much. I have a detached 4 car garage about 100 feet from my house. In the house I have wifi internet and I also have a telephone line in the garage on the same line as the house line. I would really like to get wifi out to the garage. I don't have very...

I want to get my battery tender wires up off the floor. I decided I want to do it firehouse style, with the wires hanging from the ceiling. But I don't want to get the wires caught on an antenna or drip rail pulling in and out either. Anyone know of some kind of universal retractor I could mount...

I have a pair of Reddy Heat 50,000 btu kerosine forced air heaters I bought new a few years ago. After they've sat for the summer sometimes they act up at first but I've been running them both for a month or so now. Yesterday while one was running for about a half hour it just shut off and it...

I have a genie excelerator garage door opener, lately the light will not shut off. Usually it has a timer or a button, but it won't even go off when I push the button. I can here a relay or something click but it still stays on. I even tried resetting the circuit breaker, but it hasn't changed...

I have a craftsman 14" band saw. It's about ten years old and I haven't used it much lately. I had to replace the tensioner on the top wheel over the summer because the housing broke. I went to use it the other day and it's working fine, but it doesn't seem to be cutting quick or smooth, and it...

I'm restoring this old gas pump from the 20's. It was pretty rusty but saved back in the '70s by just repainting over the rust and keeping it inside. I did a lot of patch work and now I'm sand blasting and painting it. It doesn't have to be perfect but I'd like it pretty nice. I used aluminum...

I bought a pretty decent looking media blaster online like this one: http://www.homedepot.com/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment/Black-Bull/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xg1ZarcoZ3pi/R-100637526/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 I've seen the same one at Harbor Freight, Northern Tool...

I need a tire rack in my garage. Something up high off in the corner that can hold between 8-12 tires. Right now the garage still doesn't have dry wall up yet just insulation so I have easy access to the wall joists and roof rafters. Any plans or tips on how to build something that will be...

I picked this up a few weeks ago from an old friend. It's in good shape, complete down to the key, nice chrome, works smooth and all, but it's definately got character. I cleaned it up the best I could already. I'm trying to decide if I should leave it as is or strip it and repaint it. What do...

I bought a 50,000 btu Reddy Heater last winter. It preformed flawlessly but this season sometimes it sputters and sometimes it won't fire off. I have to wait a minute so it doesn't smell like kerosine (I don't wanna blow myself up) and fire it again. It didn't have much old fuel left in it, i...

I just got a new millermatic 180, it's 230v, and I have two garages I would like to use it in. Both garages have a 220 outlet for the air compressors that are in them. One is even on it's own breaker. But neither plug matches the plug on my new welder. What do I need to do to get it working...

I'm interested in buying a mig welder for home shop use. I took a welding class and I want to be able to do sheetmetal mostly and some occasional heavier stuff. I want something I can hook a gas bottle to. I'm thinking a 220 is probably better and my garage is well equipped for either a 110 or...

My house or garage was struck by lightning today in a fast strong storm. It killed a TV and killed the oven in the house. In the small garage on the house the breaker for the outlets was blown but I don't see anything wrong. The 60 amp breaker for the big garage out back was also blown. Out in...
