    Tips for broken zipper guide?

    Good idea. No upholstery place in town could help. I'll have to keep searching. If i could find the replacement guide online I could fix it myself but not sure what to look for

    Stuff (not) worth buying at Harbor Freight?

    Was a little more expensive than base but the hercules brand still has been the best drill I've owned. Bought a needle scaler for rusty and has been awesome. Only regret was my 3 gal compressor which broke 6 mo in.

    Looking for good replacements for sound bar speakers

    Good tip. If I don't use the grill I could probably shave those nubs and it would fit in the recess. I'll sleep on it
