Garage Hangout

Well isn't that just bloody cool!

I am no expert by any means but it sounds like a great deal to me!

I made an hour drive this morning and bought a nice KRL1001B. Guy retired from full time wrenching and did not have the room in his home garage. I will get some pictures uploaded later.

When I lived in Michigan, we didn't get ours pumped the first eight years we were there.  Then what started happening was every time someone would take a shower or we'd do the laundry, afterwards it would smell like a giant fart.  Got it pumped pretty quickly after!

I wonder if your parent's tank is deteriorated and everything is settling around it?

That looks way bigger then the Turkey Hill cow!!! Turkey Hill is a local dairy processing plant. Known for their milk and ice cream.

They have several of them at 13 ft tall.

Traffic hazard on the way to work this morning.

i like the Lufkin ones i have. My dad seemed to buy Lufkin tape measures wfen i was a kid so the brand had something for him i guess.

Both truly are absolute game-changers for any workshop. Having reliability and precision are the cornerstones of sheet metal work.

I'm proud of my dedication to assemble my home workshops over the past six decades. My treasure chest is more than collecting tools and machinery. It's a living record of hard work, skills, organizing, and problem solving...  I get a warm fuzzy feelings every time I enter them..

Pexto is certainly the old gold standard as far as I knew, but Tennsmith never appeared to miss the mark by much either. Certainly anyone blessed enough to have either of these brands standing in their shop has good reason to be thankful!
