We didn't have gas in Savannah and I didn't miss it except when it was in the 20s for a few days after an ice and snow storm (which was a once-in-several-decades event) and the capacitor in the heat pump went out. We got by with heater fans until the roads were clear enough to go get the cap...

We have Sam's and Costco memberships (they're across the street from each other). Some things are better from one or the other. Sam's has the pickup and scan-and-go which I appreciate; Costco has better deals on some things and carries beer I like (but why, Sweetwater, did you change the...

I lost the first one within a year; it fell off in the ocean when I was trying to learn to windsurf. Went through a couple carbide ones, and wife had a resize or two done before we finally decided to just get them tattooed on.

All the P clamps I've used came with holes for #10 hardware. I've used #8 a few times, and also drilled a couple out for 1/4in. I don't know if anything bigger would leave enough meat on the clamp. Could you make a little extension tab that the bigger hardware picks up, and then mount your P...

The solution is to get a rivet gun and bucking bars (new tools!) and learn to drive solid rivets. No shanks to stick up 😉

I'm a satisfied customer of these batteries. Yes, they are that light.

I have a 12 year old sliding Ryobi; the laser is a gimmick. It'll get you in the ballpark but that's it. Soft start would be really nice, but I don't use it often enough to justify a new one. It was a "buy it for the project" purchase when I built my shop at the old house.

Yesterday I dug mine out for the first time after our move and used it to turn down a 5/16 socket so it would fit into a tight recess. For this kind of use it's just fine.

I can't think of any reason to put a fast charger at your house. If for some reason you just have to charge up super quickly at home (and I can't think of one), it would probably be cheaper to just buy two cars and drive one while charging the other on a normal 240V charger. This. We have two...

I've been using a Greenworks 60V one for 8 years and counting. No issues.

I have a little HF mini lathe I picked up off Craigslist years ago. It's done great for the simple little things I needed it for (making simple bushings, boring out an alternator pulley, etc). Just be prepared to spend time working slowly to get the results you want.

Go big or go home, it's the GJ way...

How much space do you need? Before the ******* CEO yanked hybrid work away, my "office" at home was a cheap Amazon gaming desk against the wall in my shop, between my toolbox and a parts rack. But then, we never used our cameras for meetings, so I wasn't concerned about my background. (CEO...

Same. I crimp till I hit the limit and the relief opens. It did all the 2AWG and 6AWG cables on the airplane and the golf cart just fine.

I would. There are products that will position the J bolts to the forms before the pour to make sure they're exactly where you want them; I used them making my shop and they really helped.

I would suggest more like 50 ish inches everywhere. Read on here once that outlets should be high enough to allow you to lean a 4x8 sheet against the wall without blocking them and that turned out to be good advice when I built my old shop. Also, each wall had two dedicated outlet circuts...

No, not even when I lived on the coast for 18 years.

Add kids and it becomes a month... Found a practical use for mine and printed a replacement foot for a set of those modular plastic shelves. Two moves in six months and that was the only lost part, guess I didn't do too bad...
