Tell her outside

The ikea here in Orlando has a "handyman's corner" where you can pick up some items for upwards of 90% off due to imperfections. I grabbed a $40 floating shelf (6.5'L x 12"D) for $6 because it had a gouge on the BACK that butts up against the wall. It worked perfectly for my sons room to put...

I built my own, kind of like these. http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=284607 Mine are a bit wider and a bit longer. I also put a stop at the top so I could use the highest "step". Of course, these are really best for low ground clearance vehicles. There isn't enough room to fart...

I had a box of the light blue nitrile gloves from HF last year, they performed nicely through all vehicle mods and maintenance. I encountered a few rips but there are some things gloves like this just can't hold up to. I have a box of the black ones now, haven't had to open them up yet though.

It was a tough choice but ultimately I decided to go with the Milwaukee. It came in today and I am pretty happy with it so far. The charger is gigantic but I am really enjoying the option of having AC/DC charge capability right out of the box. I appreciate all the input/opinions you guys posted up!

What are your thoughts on the products? I appreciate all the opinions, its still a tough choice. I'm going to skip on the Ridgid. That is about the only thing I have figured out so far. :lol: I have been to the store almost everyday of the week to get a feel of the Dewalt, Makita and Milwaukee...

I think Hitachi was the only one of the bunch that doesn't offer a radio. I didn't see one on the site anyway, may have missed it. Milwaukee seems like it is the only one of the pack that offers a SMALL radio. At $100 though, that is pretty crazy. I just need a small radio that will last so...

I have had a Kawasaki (Alltrade) 21.6v drill for about 2yrs now, it did its duty pretty nicely around the house. However, I will be doing a lot of mobile installs (GPS) in the near future (new job w/ AT&T contract) and I need something new that will last a full work day. Nothing too crazy, 3/4"...

Nice avatar. :thumbup:

I picked up this craftsman hydraulic stool a couple of years ago on clearance http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00961828000P?vName=Gifts&cName=AllDads&sName=Grandfather&sid=IDx20070921x00003a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=00961828000P I had to modify the back posts (just drill new holes) so...

Price matching in the store isn't using online though, so they would really be stretching their wording pretty far at that point if they tried to tell you that you could not stack.

Retractable garage door screen is the answer, imo

30' in the garage http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=47738&CategoryName=&SubCategoryName= I have a 12' Task Force in the house and a 16' in my truck.

It's actually a lot more pink than the photo shows. My daughter let me borrow it until I find a new one :lol:

I lost a 30' tape measure. I think that someone "borrowed" it. That thing was expensive too, a gift from my grandmother when I started work on the house. I "found" a bunch of snap-on, craftsman, matco and SK tools when I took ownership of my grandfathers old toolbox. He used to work on...

I see these in the store everytime I go to Lowe's. They ALWAYS feel like flimsy pieces of junk, nothing has changed in 2 years.

Can't say I have ever heard of that trick. Care to elaborate?

I picked one of these up on Sunday. They were $369 on the website for a while and luckily I waited because over the weekend they went to $349, printed out my 20% coupon and was out of there for under $300. Now I have a place for my tools, how fantastic of a feeling that is!

I had a craftsman 2 1/4 ton floor jack for about a year but only used it a handful of times. The last time I used it on a 97 Civic, as soon as I lifted the rear of the car up and pulled the stands out from underneath it gave out and LUCKILY my wheels/tires were on and luckily I was out of...
