    Mini r/c Drone on Amazon @$20

    Pretty good deal for the features that are provided. My $30 Hubsan X4 here has been going for a few years now...just needs new batteries once in a while. On that note, when your tiny quad tells you that its time to land, land it. Those LiPo batteries don't like being over-discharged and you...

    I can't really offer much on the topic of diesel mechanic as a career choice, but here's a thought. Look around for industrial electrical and instrument technician openings.

    Lithium ion powered impacts

    I have the C3 1/2" impact and I've honestly been rather impressed with it. On a full charge it will easily remove 20 lug nuts (80 lb-ft torqued) and tighten them all back. I've also used it to bust loose a crank bolt on a car recently and that one is tightened to 160+ lb-ft as per manual. It...

    Cant find studs behind drywall?

    I found that in my garage the walls adjoining living space have drywall, blue foam insulation, OSB and finally studs...no stud finder that I could locate locally can go through 1.5" of wall to reliably find studs. Luckily, I had construction photos and used those to get an idea of where the...
