    Packer/Shim/Wedge for behind lights mounted to Hardieboard weather board?

    Replacing the exterior lights on the garage, and I'm looking for a packer/shim/wedge product to go behind the light so that it sits on a vertical surface. This is most important for some lights where the holes/wires are such that the light can't sit just on one board, so would have a huge 1/4" ...

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    Anyone got insight into what the new normal is for HF and HF-inside track coupons? I used to time all HF purchases for when there was a coupon, then coupons stopped for a while. My inside track expired and I'm now wanting a few Icon tools. Trying to workout if waiting a couple months will pay...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Thanks, I figured 1935 seemed too old, and also thought it looked smaller than 4", but the seller said that it had 4 stamped on it somewhere that I've not found. I'll set up the bath one day this week, it'll be my first time doing it. I did a 1960's or so Craftsman with wire wheels on an angle...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Repaired Wilton 4”. Paid $40. Planning to restore for a learning project, and pass onto one of my kids. 1) do I put everything, once disassembled, into the electrolysis bath, or do I need to mask the chrome(?) inner part? 2) is this from 1935, or is that the model? Thanks

    Choosing a gas powered log splitter, and I think I've found the one I want. Open to comments

    The local used market had slim pickings, but I did stumble across a used TroyBuilt 27T with the Honda GCV160 OHC engine. Paid about 1/3 of what they're worth new. I think I paid more than it would have cost in 2019, but given everything has gone up in price so much, I think I got a good deal...

    Choosing a gas powered log splitter, and I think I've found the one I want. Open to comments

    Thanks for the info and videos (I'll watch them tonight). I was scared off B&S by too many forum posts (I accept that the forums are not a statistically significant number of reviews though) that ended up with issues and claims that "they're not like B&S used to be" etc. Just sounded like B&S...

    Choosing a gas powered log splitter, and I think I've found the one I want. Open to comments

    I didn't think I needed a log splitter, but I'm finding that I just cannot split the oak we have. I'd like to split around 3-4 cords a year. I can rent a splitter for $100/day, but then I need to free up a day and my body gives in after a few hours. The internet/forums have convinced me that...

    multi socket outlets - more than duplex, but maybe 6 or 8? I cannot find them, are they against code?

    Two of the 3 gang plastic retro fit boxes, one on each end of the work bench, with a mixture of GFCI sockets, USB ports and switched outlets. That would save me from buying the expensive 6 gang cover. I'm still surprised that there aren't more euro style options, but will cobble together this...

    multi socket outlets - more than duplex, but maybe 6 or 8? I cannot find them, are they against code?

    Thanks, I didn't realize that's what those single boxes are for. So for a 6 wide face plate, I'd get 6 of these individual gangs? That's the "correct" way to do it, not two 3 wide ones? I am retro fitting this to a wall that is already finished. I didn't want the corded outlet rail type, as I...

    multi socket outlets - more than duplex, but maybe 6 or 8? I cannot find them, are they against code?

    It will look close, just that the NZ/AUS one is all one piece without the joins. I think I'll be going the individual sockets and one big cover route, because nothing else is available in the US. Thanks

    multi socket outlets - more than duplex, but maybe 6 or 8? I cannot find them, are they against code?

    1) I'm in the US, so subject to US code and products that have UL certification 2) I want to add some outlet sockets to the wall behind my workbench. I have 2 laptops, a monitor, USB charging for cellphone and other things, plus I need another couple outlets from time to time. I cannot find...

    Is this site a scam? "www.topsalefad.store"? Seems too cheap for snap-on

    No, easier to build a fake website, but the other ones I've seen only bothered listing a dozen items, and stuck to more mainstream products. This one has lots of listings, and they're all these used items, not just copy/paste of stock new photos from a manufacturer. I'll try a google image...

    Is this site a scam? "www.topsalefad.store"? Seems too cheap for snap-on

    Yeah, the website is odd, and the physical address is a house. Just seems like they went to a lot of effort for this. I tried to see if there were reports of it being a scam, but found nothing. I’ve not ordered.

    oil deal- (via slickdeals)

    Do you know for sure that that is the case? I read it that way too, but could see how they may have meant a claim for 2x5qt jugs is two claims. As it runs almost all year, I'm waiting for my first claim to be paid out before buying more (and I need to use some up to make room ... I think more...

    Ebay or Auction Deals Permathread!

    The seller has a regular online store too (with more stuff for decent prices), and shipping on 2 sets was !.50 cheaper than eBay ... yes, $1.50 isn't much, but it's something. Got 2 sets, one for each kid. Probably should have got a 3rd set for the car too, but only just realized that now.

    oil deal- (via slickdeals)

    Ordered from Walmart with delivery. hopefully I provided sufficient proof of ordering and delivery. I have a shelf of oil (maybe 10 x 5qt jugs), and they'll have cost between $2.50 and $20, depending on which rebate/sale I was using for synthetic oil. Thanks for posting this one.

    oil deal- (via slickdeals)

    States Ultra Platinum too on the page. I'm going to order the Ultra. It does have conditions about needing order confirmation number and delivery proof etc to stop you ordering and then cancelling the order.
