I found this in my late step Dad’s truck a while back and used it for the first time yesterday. If you don’t have one, I highly recommend

Found this today at my Moms in the scrap metal bin. I think I will build a handle for it.

I’ve thought about it many times and should have built one years ago but started one Monday night. My wife wants a cattle panel for her garden and they are 16’ long. I have a trailer, but it is less than 8’ long. I often bring home lumber using my CJ as it has a full roll cage but the Jeep is...

I swear I didn’t abuse it but it has stopped ratcheting. I have taken it apart a few times attempting to repair it but to no avail. Is there a trick to this style? A tiny spring that sprung? I checked with my local NAPA today and a repair kit is not available, though nothing is obviously...

TLDR version - I acquired these bins (and many lifetimes of hardware) 19 years ago and it's time to reorganize. I have shared pictures of these in the past but am in the middle of reconfiguring them and thought I would share the details. I know there are people that would rather purchase...

Have any of you used these and have an opinion on them? This will be for my ‘79 CJ7. I drive it on the street but very low miles per year. Current alignment was done 4+ years ago and was eyeballed. Random pic from Amazon; I haven’t purchased anything yet as I am still on the fence if this is...

I’ve had an antique and very unusual clawfoot tub taking up space in my garage for 12+ years and am really struggling with the fittings. It appears to be 14 tpi with an outside diameter of 1.39”. This is close, but will not fit a 1” NPT which is 1.315” OD, not to mention lower tpi. Any ideas...

I’m not a heavy air hammer user but have been wanting to convert to quick connect for a while. Anyone have experience and feedback on how to pick a decent QC that will fit? My hammer is a Husky H4610.

I was looking at the Tekton screwdrivers posted earlier and saw this mallet. Yeah, I caved… https://a.co/d/9lGC7qj

Open wrench is Williams 1/2 x 5/8. Anyone know the purpose of these super thick wrenches? Also curious about the age of the Craftsman vise grip? It doesn’t have any model number or distinguishing marks other than lines running down the spine. Snips are Pentco 95A Tank wrench was found in the...

Anyone have a good strategy to avoid melting holes in pressure washer hose? I’ve done this twice now and would like to not do it again. Here’s my machine with its new hose

I have wanted one of these for years since learning about them here but never could justify the expense until last weekend. I won a local auction with several drill indexes recently plus I got an Amazon gift card from work that was burning a hole in my pocket. So it arrived Wednesday and I...

So I bought these in an auction thinking they were drill bits. Nope, all are solid. What is it?

This belonged to my grandfather and my mom gave it to me a couple of years ago. He was a farmer in west Texas (dry, very dry) and passed back in 1989. I didn’t grab a before picture but it looks like it could have been left in the ground for a decade or two before my mom (or maybe her sister)...

I had to disassemble my old school Craftsman table saw and decided to replace the bearings while I have everything apart, but I don't have a press and don't have much need for one, but figure that hiring this out when nearly cover the cost of buying an inexpensive one. Any suggestions on a...

Anybody used both or have an opinion on the HF table? I have been considering the SWAG table for a while. I currently use an abrasive saw or recip saw. I don’t have a portaband currently and don’t have the space for a large horizontal bandsaw. I do have a small, older vertical Delta bandsaw...

When the reviews state it leaks the bar oil, believe them. I should have gotten the Dewalt or Milwaukee but didn’t know if I could run my Ridgid batteries with them.

Any suggestions on how to best setup for repeated cuts? I need to cut a bunch of 1/2” long pieces of 1/4” dowel. Then a bunch of 3/8 and 1/2 There is a threaded hole on the back of the table on my bandsaw Bandsaw is a Delta Model 28-160

I bought an organizer probably 15 years ago that served me well but i would like to be able to fit more in this space. I considered the magnetic rails but do a bit of metal work and don’t want to attract that fuzz that collects on magnets. A google search found that I wasn’t the first to try...

I have a sunroom which was probably built in the 80s with a small though the wall system. It’s pan has rusted out and now it leaks water to the inside so I am looking at replacing it. It needs to have heat and air for almost 400 square feet. 220 volt power. Any suggestions?
