Hi all!

I’m a property manager and have been asked by some tenants about a way to more easily open our top-opening dumpster. I purchased this on Amazon but I need a way to fasten it so that it isn’t stolen.

The dumper has 4x4’s around it so I was thinking about getting some wire and attaching it to one of the 4x4’s and to the opener/prop.

What do y’all recommend?

Could companies make yard tools that run on 12v batteries? Like if it required three running together at 36v or something? Just wondering if this is possible.

Does anyone have one of these they want to part ways with? I used to have one and misplaced it. They are super handy to have.

The main part of the tool is a flat file which has been heavily used. The curious thing to me is the sharp, bladed hook on the end. Any idea that this is called and what it specifically designed for? TIA.

Does anybody know the name of The socket type needed for this stud lug style? Its for a mobile trailer with a dually setup

I have a Dewalt DCD796, only a few years old but the clutch broke. Motor spins fine but it just makes that noise. I know how to remove a chuck normally, but when I try to remove it the clutch just let's it spin. Is there still a way to get it off?

Hi all, I'm a robotics technician in deployment and maintenance. I'm looking for a new torque wrench with 1/4" drive for P2 of my work project that ideally has a range between 0.5Nm-27Nm.

I'd prefer a clicker style wrench but if a reliable digital wrench exists I'm willing to explore that option. I'm trying to stay away from beam style wrenches. The wrench we were using prior to P2 was a digital SUGPV Amazon source.

Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I want to buy an air compressor for ocasional Airbrush painting and to fill my 26 gallon hidroneumatic tank every 3 months. My home workshop is tiny and I have limited storage. Do you think this will suffice or better play it safe and go for the 6 gallon compressor?

Hey guys, first time poster

Just got this old craftsman tool box tower from a buddy's dad who upgraded to something newer and just wanted to get rid of it, got it for free

I think it's cool and really nice to have some more storage space finally

However, I think I've been spoiled by roller bearing drawer slides and find the old worn out box fighting me a little bit when opening and closing, especially the the drawer holding all my sockets and rachets

Anyone have any directions to point to either reburbish the slides, buy new ones or convent the old metal in metal slides to nice roller bearing ones? Thanks

My father swears that he used to have an all-metal Stanley powerlock-style tape measure that he unknowingly replaced with a plastic model, and then couldn't find any metal ones anymore. This feels correct to me, but I cannot for the life of me find any examples or photos.

Can anyone confirm or deny that the powerlocks were ever made in metal cases, and if so, when Stanley transitioned to plastic? I know that the vintage tapes were metal, and some of the long ribbon tapes are still in metal, but I'm specifically looking for the powerlock-style tapes in 15-25 ft.

I've been searching off-and-on for years and have bought more online that claimed to be metal than I care to admit, but my father has a keystone birthday approaching, and I'd like to either find one or put this to bed forever.

Thanks!

i want to do basic work on my car (oil changes, brake pads, tire rotations, filters etc)

also would like to use tool for house and furniture work.

i was going to buy a 3/8 ratchet + 85 piece drive master BUT maybe this starter set is a better go?

I'm trying to find out if Husky Buildout is planning to make a rolling drawer box before I invest in the system.

I tried their customer support number, but predictably I got sent to an irrelevant department where they didn't know anything and basically blew me off.

Are there Home Depot sales reps or something? I appreciate any help.

Has anyone tried these wire strippers from Napa? Looking for opinions or suggestions on something better if these are crap.

I’m fairly new to working on my car but I need an empty tool box to store all of my crap. I’m not looking for snap-on or anything too expensive. I considered a Daytona tool box but apparently they’re not too reliable. What brands would you recommend.

Wife got me some goodies for my birthday.

Enjoy!

Did I get a good deal?

The manual is confusing because it’s a general one that applies to multiple different models. I keep reading that you’re supposed to use a foam filter for wet pickup, but this didn’t come with one and I’m not sure if that’s for older models

Anyone know if there is an automatic shut off valve for a DIXON FN600 aluminum dry disconnect flomax diesel duel nozzle with dog latch and sealing plug 1-1/2" NPT Female? Or does it automatically come with one?
