    THis is the droid you are looking for. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NEUFP2G?tag=atomicindus08-20 I have been using one since 2021 DaveW

    Central A/C Unit Shutting Off Blower ?

    We have an addition on our ranch house that is 13x24' and it only had one vent and return. Combined with 1950's lack of insulation and flat roof it was always a bear to keep comfortable in both summer and winter. We added a mini-split a few years back and have never looked back. Cheaper...

    Brake Bleeding, Hand Pump, Air Bubbles, Grease on Valve?

    For whatever it is worth, most people overcomplicate brake bleeding. We do track prep at our shop so I probably do 100 brake flushes/bleeds a year. 98% of them, I use a bottle like this: I use a turkey baster type of extractor to remove as much old fluid from the master cylinder as possible...

    Gyraline Alignment App

    I have had several customers use one and then have me check the alignments later and....it seems like it can get it close enough to get the alignment shop but I am not sure I would trust it for a final. That said, the toughest part of an alignment is not the measuring tool, it is having the...

    Wheel/Tire Balance Technicians: Roadforce Numbers OK But Possible Bad Lateral Runout?

    It might be worth a call to Hunter Corporate or an email to a fellow engineer there? I have been through pretty extensive user training on the machine since I am the odd guy who writes the check and uses the machine and they really mostly cover how to fix problems. You are looking for geek...

    Hunter wa330 alignment machine help

    IIRC you can't swap the heads around. The sensors on the toe arms have to be able to physically/line of sight see the one on the opposite sensor. It doesn't need laser precision, they just need to be able to see each other. And the sensor at the back of the LF head needs to be able to see the...

    Hunter WinAlign alignment software

    AFAIK the Sears version is the same except for the hardcoded Sears Logo on the background. I am not sure on V17 and V20 keys at the same time.

    Hunter WinAlign alignment software

    Don't quote me on the exact versions, but Win Sears V12 means you are locked at V12 of WinAlign base software unless you buy new keys and possibly new hardware. It might run V14...my machine was a Sears one also and it seems familiar that the key said 12 and it was running V14 Win Align. V17...

    Can't get Hunter alignment machine to measure caster

    I think you do want to put all heads on before compensation but if it is showing numbers it must be compensated. My machines have always gone staight from compensation to caster sweep before showing numbers, but I think there is a setting for that somewhere in there. Your caster sweep is...

    Mr. cool DIY vs. Menards Denali Aire

    Yep, its about your risk tolerance. My nephew in law did our main house AC unit at about the same time we were contemplating the mini split. Even with his very favorable pricing the Fujitsu or Mitsu units he could get would have been $4-5k for the unit itself before install. We talked...

    Can't get Hunter alignment machine to measure caster

    I can't find the doc right now, but I want to say the tower needs to be between 78-120" from the center of turnplates to the cameras. These won't work around a 2 post lift if that is what you have. Your issue really seems software/something else. On every machine I have ever used/had, if the...

    Mr. cool DIY vs. Menards Denali Aire

    I did a Denali Aire in our then living room, now master bedroom in 2021 and it works great to this day. This is the only one I have ever installed so no reference on better worse, but it seemed fairly easy and similar to the videos I watched on Mr. Cool. The remote is pretty clunky. The temp...

    What mode are you using for that? "Precision Wrench"? Sounds super handy DaveW

    Cordless impact gun

    I love my DeWalt 20v stuff. I do tires, etc in my shop all day. The mid torque gets about 95% of all lug nuts and the big boy 891 will get any others that it won't. I literally haven't used my air impact since I got these about 8 years ago. However, on high end stuff, Milwaukee seems to...
