Garage Shop: Tools

I'm of the opinion that a bar/prep sink set into a counter is a good set up. Counter space around the sink is a real plus (something the stand alone sinks don't have). Mine is (just) large enough to be able to fit and fill a 5 gallon bucket. I can't say that I ever wished it was larger.

 

Or used for a welding fixture...

 

that price difference pays for basic membership.

for me, the saving on pet meds and gas alone pays for it. We bought a couch a couple weeks ago from there for a great price too.

 

Costco has a Torin box right now that is a decent deal but, Craigslist and Facebook marketplace is probably your best bet. Most new boxes are junk if you are not investing well over $2K.

 

My uncle did the math once, and found out that what he would save on milk every year would pay for the membership. There really is little downside.

 

Can anyone recommend a good sliding mitre saw? Need one for a few home projects. Found this ryobi at Home Depot but I’ve never had anything ryobi brand. So any recommendations? Would like to stay under 300$.

Anyone use this ?

 

I have the 12” version, not a power user by any means but it’s done well for me

 

I have a lot of the Ryobi cordless, I use them on my service van, no regrets.
Ryobi is “Prosumer” product, good for home gamer at an affordable price

 

Very European way of spelling it.
That said, I think the kobalt miter saws are of good value. With the right sale price, I think the dewalt 779 is a good miter and would last a long time. That’s what I have anyways.

 

Spent the day reorganizing the two boxes/carts.. really, really happy with this setup so far:

 

Working on the workshop behind the garage bay. Big box and more storage and work space

 

that thing made me actually lol

 

You are the kinda guy who puts the condom on before the date aren’t ya bud? JK

 

haha

 

Many folks are happy with US General Boxes from HF. Well under 2K.

 

I had an ikea entertainment center and bookcase that came with one of those, actually! It held the nail and spaced it from the edge evenly. I still have it in the tool box for when I use tiny nails.
