    20'W x 12'H Overhead Door... is it too big?

    Hi all, I had an external garage designed by an architect and I wanted (1) large door and I wanted it at least 12' in height, but still be able to pull two cars in side by side. So we ended up with a 20'W x 12'H. Now I am in the process of building and I'm worried that this door is too large...

    HOT DEAL Index!!

    Isn't that kinda like telling someone that's posts some Snap-On wrenches half price that the can get a set at HF for $20? Yeah their drill bits but I'm sure the US Chicago Latrobe Aerospace spec set is in a different league. No?

    Not the same manufacturer, not Aerospace specs and I doubt USA. But for $30 that's a good deal too. To each their own!

    Yep I heard that, but I usually trust them to sell a good brand. I was just surprised this set was half the price of everyone else.

    Want a complete drill bit set? Seems like a good deal at McMaster

    I was wanting a complete drill bit set for the shop and had to pick up some other items at McMaster Carr so I checked out what they had. Of course they don't list brands or models so it is kinda luck of the draw. I ordered a 115pc master combinations set. Black Oxide HSS jobber length bits...

    Columbian 604 Restoration

    Looks identical to my Ridgid. Guess it is true that Columbian was the OEM for them. How did you get the handle out?

    I took it apart and hit it with a wire cup wheel, lubed it and put it back together... I just couldn't bring myself to paint it when it is going to get used and I kinda like the weathered look. I just wiped it down with some air tool oil. -Josh

    Help me pick a new wrench set....

    Say what? Your saying that 43 pieces raised panel Craftsmen set is made in the US? BTW, that is exactly what I was getting at with that set... seems like a good value even if made overseas given the number of large wrenches in that set.

    Help me pick a new wrench set....

    Yeah I know that and the brands you mentioned are what I am leaning towards. I just thought that was a good deal for as many wrenches that came in that set, even given the quality. Blackhawk is looking good! Right up my price alley! So it is confirmed they are made in the US of A? Thanks all!
