    ZMotorsports Shop Projects 2.0

    I don't know too many people running RCV's anymore. They got crazy expensive and their customer service *****. When they went from a niche product to mainstream, they couldn't keep up. I've never been a fan of them for a daily driver due to the maintenance, but those orange boots tend to get you...

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    I'm surprised you haven't had any deliveries from OnTrac before. I get a ton of stuff from CA, NV & UT delivered by them. I've actually had good luck (usually next day from those states), but clearly you got a lazy *** ******* that couldn't walk another 50'. I'd be pissed as **** also.

    The Bicycle (Specialty) Tools Thread

    My friends and I have had much better luck with the Shimano derailleurs than the SRAM. In my family we have an equal number of both. I've got a SRAM 11spd GX that is temperamental at times, but keeps plugging along. Is it shifting in part of the range an not others? In other words, does it...

    rattle_snake's random shop projects v0.1

    I couldn't find a better picture, but my trailer had a gate that defied physics and would inevitably arrive with a latch open. It also was obnoxious with how much it rattled and banged. I added solid metal "straps" fixed to the top of the rails with a bolt and ran a Clevis pin into the gate. The...

    Electric lawnmowers in 2026 - any good?

    For what it costs to get my yard done, this mower and our effort pays for itself in 10 uses. I had a great landscaper for like 15yrs, but he had a hard time keeping help and we were a drive for him. The next guy my wife found did such a bad job we parted ways after 2 times. The final crew was...

    Electric lawnmowers in 2026 - any good?

    You are right, it was badass! I can't speak for how it compares to other makes/models, but I'm stoked on it! I did 2 passes on my ~4,500 sqft lawn and it used 3 out 4 bars on the 12.0Ah battery. First pass was on level 4 and the 2nd I dropped the deck to level 3. No clumps of grass left...

    Electric lawnmowers in 2026 - any good?

    The motor and compartment to hold 2 big batteries. I've read reviews where people are bothered by the aesthetic of it, but to be frank I really couldn't care less what tools look like as long as they work. We'll find out that part in a couple of hours.

    Electric lawnmowers in 2026 - any good?

    I bought the commercial Honda mower a few months ago for my RV park where our zero turn won't work. I haven't used it, but my employees love it. I needed a new mower, so I just got the HRX-BE for home use. Both purchased from ACME. I'm a Milwaukee user, but I have zero faith that Milwaukee will...

    Ryobi telescoping power scrubber for boat

    The only maintenance nightmare worst than owing a pool, would likely be a boat with a pool.

    Ryobi telescoping power scrubber for boat

    That Ryobi would be perfect for cleaning the tile on my pool's water fall.

    That's a fair point. I would have my Butler doing the screwdriving after making me a screwdriver......

    Olsen Spec Projects

    Tim, I know nothing about classic Porsches, so it blows my mind Porsche is still stocking body panels for these cars built in the 70's! Are they still producing these panels, or are they old stock? I'd be curious to learn more about this if you could share some insight.

    Avet SX reels: $150

    While I don't have a standard SX, SX Raptors are my favorite reels due to the monster drag they put out in a small package.

    Weedeater line

    My neighbors and I were talking about weedeaters the other day. We were all saying that the spool is such a pain in the *** to deal with. My neighbor was going to buy a whole new unit, but instead he drilled a couple of holes in the spool and routed some 10awg(ish) electrical wire through it. He...
