Trying to straighten it is certainly worth trying. New main pipe costs less than $40 which could be well worth it if the trimmer still runs good.

I had a Craftsman 52 and had very good results using Rotary Copperhead blades. They cut better and lasted longer than the Oregon blades I used to use. I prefer standard lift blades. Never seemed to get a good quality cut with the "gator" style mulching blades on my mower.

Tractor Supply sells bottle jacks with jack stands built in. If you search their site for "all in one jack" you can see it.

They must have changed something. I called last week and it was just a generic sounding gift card hotline. The recording never actually said the name Harbor Freight now that I think about it but the info was accurate.

Do not get a Dorman lower housing whatever you do. Ask me how I know. This is one occasion where a genuine Ford part is worth every penny.

Thorogood boots have served me well. They are a little spendy but hold up well. They are made in the U.S. so that is a big plus for me.

Another air hammer in a similar price range as the 114 GCQ is a Chicago Pneumatic CP7150. I have one and it has moved everything I have needed it to. It does not have a quick change retainer but I picked one up for $20 or so and now it does.

I have a Hopkins smart hitch that I installed a few years back. It is also a wired unit and works quite well. If you have a round trailer wiring connector on your vehicle there is no splicing required. The camera/sensor setup is a little goofy looking but it does the job.

Just left a different Chevrolet dealer. I got the key for $26.09. Seems the other dealer was out of line as I suspected.

Good idea. I will call a local locksmith tomorrow and check with him.

The keys I have for my 2001 Silverado have fairly worn teeth and are getting difficult to turn sometimes. I stopped by a local Chevrolet dealer to get one cut by VIN. Of course after showing required documents I asked him how much the key will cost. He told me $15 for the key and I thought it...

If you found them in a box of cereal you likely have an Indian meal moth aka pantry moth infestation. You can buy pheromone traps on Amazon to attract the males and interrupt the mating process. Check any dry goods made from grains as they use it as a food source. I had some hitch a ride in my...

I have used an Edwin Jagger DE89LBL for several years and it still serves me well. It paired with Gillette Silver Blue blades is perfect for me. I also dislike the butterfly style.
