Good idea. Both a circular saw and a reciprocating saw (sawzall) are good things to have. Battery powered are good for portability, but corded ones have more power, usually.

I'm also going to add sandpaper and duct tape to that list. Both of those are pretty useful, too.

Vice grips are a nice tool to have as well

This board seems dead, but an angle grinder is a good tool to have. Never know when you need to grind dem angles.

A basic socket set is a bretty gud thing to have

1/2 inch breaker bar. Having one has saved my ass plenty of times.

You need supplies.
Wire nuts, various nuts, bolts and screws. Zipties. Tapes, glues, paints, random flammables.

never heard of this stuff. is it like grease or something?

This particular jar is copper based and yes, its a lubricant that also resists seizing caused by corrosion. Shit is a Godsend, slather bathroom/kitchen fixture hardware in it. Use it on shit on your car; battery posts to seat mount bolts.
Kinda helps to retard corrosion between dissimilar metals.

>tfw it took 4 days to get a reply

As I said, I'm not familiar with this stuff at all. Is this something that would be available at a hardware store like Lowe's or Home Depot? Judging by your flag I'm assuming you're a burger and not just using a VPN/proxy.

Thats my bad bro, I was kinda giving up hope here.
Anyway; yes, CA fag here. You can get this shit almost any hardware store. Now weather the idiot with the nametag knows what youre talking about is a different story.
This shit is just as important as anyother tool you have in your garage. If it doesnt require loctite, then you put this shit on threads. Im an industrial maintenance mechanic by trade and keep this stuff, and Loctites' brand of food grade anti-sieze in my truck at all times. If it has threads, it gets never-seize.
The shit comes in a few flavors, food grade, copper based, some silver shit thats just a mess, but the important thing is to get anything on there to prevent galling. Just a dab on the end and run the bolt in/nut on.

As a side note; dont spin nylock nuts on at full speed, like with a drill or impact. You melt the nylon, rendering it useless. And nylocks should only be used once, but if the threads are pristine you can get away with two or three times..maybe.

Good info man. Seems like there's some decent stuff getting posted here, just not quickly.

>>152
Yeah, I wish more people would come here. It could be like /diy/ without all the

Or

Im thinking about starting a paint thread, but might be too much for this place.
>I'm waiting to see if the board owner gives /handyman/ up.
Otherwise I'm going to try to push this place up a bit and try to get us attention.

>>153
Board owner here on my cell. I don't have any plans to give this board up anytime soon, but if tragic picks up, I may need some volunteers.

Also, post anything you like, assuming the OP is on topic.
