I always have a 30 gal (or so) trash bag sitting in one corner of my attached garage right by the door. I am tired of it sitting on the floor. I have looked quite a bit online and all of the trash bag holders seem to be made for small kitchen type bags. I do not want one of the holders that...

Hey guys, My over the stove microwave uses bulbs like the ones below. I have tried three or four brands of led replacements and none of them will last more than a few months. The darn incandescent ones were lasting at least a year if not longer. Incadescents are getting pretty hard to find...

Hey guys, I want to replace the 45 year old cut off valve under our two bathroom sinks. The ones that are there now have the "corrugated" metal lines that go up to the faucet. They have a compression rubber fitting at the faucet that squeezes the line to seal it up. Those lines are made...

Seems like lately there are more and more people who sign up,ask a question and then disappear ? A bunch of others will waste their time answering but the original poster is never heard from again and never checks in again. Maybe there should be a way to weed them out ? Possibly a 1 hr wait...

Hey guys, The control box on my jet spray washer has 8 1/4 turn latches that hold the cover on. One of them has been broken for quite a while and even though it probably is not a problem I wouldnt mind fixing it. Only problem is I cannot seem to find the "latches" I have tried searching...

Hey guys, The coolant reservoir on my Wife's 84 Riviera has a small crack and has been dripping. New one simply not available. I could probably rough it up and try some type of "glue" but my experience has been that there really is nothing that sticks real good to the white plastic...

Looking for a pop rivet gun that will reliably do 1/4" rivets. I need to do both of the window motors in my Tahoe and would prefer to rivet them back in like the oem rather than use bolts but looking at all of the 1/4" capable rivet guns it seems like the worse reviews are when people try to...

So this afternoon my Wife called on her way home from a friends and said she was seeing some steam and smelling antifreeze :( She was able to pull into a gas station and she wsnt too far from my shop so I ran over to see what happened. The upper radiator hose on her car sprung a pretty good...

If any of you guys have a set of hollow shaft metric nut drivers would you mind measuring how deep the shaft is actually hollow ? I need to be able to go over a 3" long part to get to the 7mm hex part. I am going to start sending out some inquiries tomorrow but figure it would be nice if...

Do any of you guys have a digital microscope that you can use with a laptop or tablet etc ? I do electronics as a hobby and have been getting more and more stuff that has the really small surface mounted devices. Using a magnifying glass to solder them is getting old quick :( There are a lot...

Hey guys, Probably a long shot but I broke one of my countersink bits that I have had for 40 years or so. If somebody has a broken set with the one I need, let me know. There are a few complete sets on Ebay as a last resort.

Hey guys, If any of you have a blast cabinet that uses a dust collector like the one shown below could you tell me how loud the dust collector is say compared to a shop vac ?? Can you easily carry on a conversation standing 4 ft away from it ? I have a need for something for a different...

Hey guys, I am trying to help out an older friend who is looking for something to help him move some specialty items around a machine shop. He found this this thing on line and seems to think it would be perfect but it is on AliBaba from China and I am real leery of telling him to order it...

Hey guys, I need a favor if you dont mind. If you have a mulching push mower can you check and see how far the blade is above the bottom edge of the deck ? I replaced the engine on mine a year or so ago and I don't think it is mulching as good as it used to. Its really been noticable this...
