    Difference between distilled and deionized water for auto use?

    every shop I worked at the past 34 years used tap water. I think they would look at you like you were crazy for even suggesting to use anything else to mix antifreeze.

    Septic tank pumping interval?

    Mine gets done once a year. This year price was $300.00 for 1000 gal. I want to stay on top of this because all the houses on our road were built at the same time in 1987 or so. many of the neighbors have had to replace their septic tanks and leach fields in the past few years. I tried going a...

    Cordless mini Chainsaw that does not leak oil?

    I have a brand new 20volt Dewalt used it one time so far, put oil in it and a few weeks later all the oil is out. I had it sitting on a plastic bin lid so all the oil was in the lid. I guess that's why it says to drain oil after use in the directions.

    Interesting Snap On box on CL

    I still have that box with a side cabinet hanging off the side with a special bracket you had to buy separately. Bought it new in 1989. I wouldn’t buy it again it really doesn’t have very good storage layout. It works ok for what I have in it now but it is packed solid.

    Is eppys online legitimate?

    Can’t say about online but when I lived in New Jersey I shopped in their store in I believe it was Howell township. Spent a lot of money there. They also had a mobile tool truck that came to one shop I was working at.

    Why do WD40 spray cans always quit working?

    The shop I'm at had a case of PB Blaster do that, no pressure just drips out. It was a new case we just received every can did the same thing. We returned and the next case worked fine. It happens.

    Wheel tires for vintage Atlas Press Co. Power King Band Saw #912

    I just put on a set from woodcraft 144968 - CARTER Urethane Tire For 12" Band Saw, 7/8" Wide. So far works great they are a tight fit but I was able to stretch them on without warming them. My father bought this saw new in the 60's. I've had it since 1996 new tires and new blade now cuts like new.

    What is the best deal or score you ever got on the Snap On Tools truck?

    Back when I was 20 and had no other bills I ordered a new 7100 box. It was delivered to the shop when I wasn't there, it was supposed to be brand new. I get there and as soon as I saw it there were problems. Handle on side was dented, and there was what looked like a coffee stain on the pull...
