When wrenching, I hated working on the 4 post lifts. I would avoid it at all costs. It makes it harder to access many areas of the car, much more of a pain to do tires and brakes. I also hate the cross supports in the front and back. They don't seem that big, yet their gravity is enormous and...

Wow! That is an awesome looking grinder. Nice work.:rocker:

Could you post a link to those wrench holders at the sale price? I use those for organizing my big wrenches and would love to pick those up for a buddy of mine. thanks:rocker:

That screw is a really cool project. Clever person must have thought that one up. Seems like that would be a great lathe lesson!:rocker:

Thank you guys. I emailed and got my account fixed. It was just like you said.

I am actually an instructor and at least as far I know, I never run out of time for it. I have been using matco since 2004. It has always worked. Maybe I will have to contact them. Thanks for letting me know.

I noticed when I logged in this month to check the specials that there were no half off discounts. They did have some deals where if you bought one of the monthly tools, you got a free tool along with it. What gives? Anyone know what is going on? Does the discount still show for you? thanks

Oh, holy hell that thing is awesome! You CAN NOT get rid of that. That is one of those things you will always regret. That will become one of those old guy stories where they complain about the one they let get away and deeply wish they didn't. Nice find and great job fixing it up:bowdown:

Don't know anything about Wurth, but your link made me check this set out and they look so cool I want to order them just for their uniqueness! I wonder if Amazon prime works across the pond?:bounce: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B000VD1R8U/

lol, this story makes me laugh. I do the same thing. I always put away my snap on stuff and pull out the craftsman when I encounter a bolt so stuck I need a cheater. Since I don't wrench in a shop anymore it is harder to get warranties. I have put 4' cheaters on my craftsman ratchets too and...

Look what I found! I have been looking on craigslist and ebay for about 2 months looking for a good deal on a dust collector. I got this baby for $120 and it came with 1 micron bags and a lone ranger remote control! I wanted it so that I could use my router, tablesaw, orbit sanders, and planer...

Thank you very much. I love that land cruiser. I needed a project car so I could keep my tools working. It is a great project car too because you can take off most of the panels to get to everything, is high enough to roll on a creeper without jacks, and has room to reach everything. There is a...

I really like those top cabinets!

In America we call those tackle boxes and take em fishing:D

I hear this on here all the time. I was just curious why you think that when someone buys a tool (for instance sears since they are the one that has lifetime warranty) that the purchaser has paid for multiple replacements of that tool. I always assumed that since I have purchased a thousand...

Here is why I wouldn't build your own saw: 1. Dangerous!!!!! Very hard to get a splitter lined up so more kickbacks. Your splitter is the single most important safety feature on the saw. 2. Dangerous. Probably pretty hard to rig up a good guard. Most actual saws have crappy ones, so a homemade...

My grandfather was never able to go back to his house. He never did gain enough mobility. He had to stay at the nursing home. In all though, it turned out pretty good for him because growing up at my parent's house there was a nursing home literally next door. What had been a massive pain in the...

After seeing a couple of the garages in here, I got side tracked a little bit from the welding cart. I decided I wanted a little heat in the garage so I bought some garage door insulation and started installing it. It is the last part of the garage that isn't insulated yet. I have to admit that...

Not true! If that were so....where did these guys come from? hmm?? Confession: I had to take them out of the wingnut hardware drawer for the picture and I actually was able to leave them out about 30 seconds before their disorder made me put them back, lol.:dunno: In all seriousness, my shop...
