    harbor Freight Tools & Northern Tool

    Shopped at both for decades. Bought my first pressure washer from Northern in 1990. My bro has it and it still runs great. Both stores buy from the same factories in China. Both stores buy from outlets other than China. However, Harbor Freight, faced with higher prices, has demanded better...

    Talk about BS

    Daren, I wish I could burn here. In the summer the fire threat is so high I'd likely get arrested. In the winter, the EPA would have me arrested as nearly every winter day in my county is a no-burn day. (sigh)

    Talk about BS

    We have a 2 yard dumpster that, more often than not, goes out absolutely full. It's just about 1 foot wider than my bucket and my 4-wheeled drive orange compactor does a great job of smashing bushes or other plant material down. Our old local company sold out to a bigger company. Our monthly...

    PH, Do tracks have a "master link" or can they all be driven out?

    Gearheads

    I love it when lawyers think they are engineers. This is what absolving people of personal responsibility has wrought. Did cars brake before ABS was invented? Of course they did, and just fine. By the way, how is that working out for Boeing? Not so much.

    What is it with kids at auto parts stores? Buddy of mine goes in to get new lug nuts for a friend's trailer. The kid behind the counter looks at his computer screen and says, "MAKE AND MODEL." My buddy says, "It's just a dual axle trailer..." Kid says, "Well then sir, I cannot help you...

    Chevy Equinox Lift actuator/ support clip part

    It would cost GM $.12 to make those out of stainless -or alloy... And America wonders why GM vehicles are not selling. I see this strike going past Christmas. (sigh)

    No wonder John Deere went to so much plastic on their products! They wanted to get your mpg up... Can't wait to see this baby get some TLC. Hope you or your neighbor have a sand blaster. :)

    Car Hoist

    When my brother built his auto shop in CA, they put two single post lifts in. They came in in the morning, cut the holes for the post and the cuts for the lines to the lift control valving, used an auger to bore the lift recess, hung both lift tubes and grouted the whole project before 4pm. He...

    Car Hoist

    Always wondered about those... What is the concrete requirement for the posts? Did you have to dig a couple of voids to add mass underneath? Or can you go with 4" slab?

    Deal of the day

    A clip on food tray might be a worthwhile addition. Snack while you (don't) exercise. That motor looks newer than the unit. Is it a replacement? I cannot believe anyone would wear one of those out. I think the paint shaker suggestion is a good one. Even if just for rattle cans. I mentioned...

    Retirement Project

    Man! I hope they contacted the Mass HWY Dept for a survey on overhead obstacles between their construction site and the launch point... The standard 14'6" overpass looks a little tight for this project on a trailer. (Same with the guy and the metal boat in Tulsa!)

    No summer changeovers. Just leave the blowers and plows attached all year.
