Tecmuseh Shrink Wrapped Dealer Tools Including: Tecmuseh Flywheel Puller, Flywheel Knock Off, Air Gaps, etc (See picture for all tools included) My dad worked as an engineer at Tecmuseh and brought this home at some point. I can get specific part numbers off of each tool if needed. Some of...

That is called multi-wiring. It is perfectly fine in the electrical code AFAIK. Though he should have used 12/3. http://www.electrical101.com/multiwire-branch-circuit.html

And yet no mention of 18mm. 19 and 17 are very popular yet I've only needed 18 once and had to go out and purchase an 18mm wrench as the set from 8-19 did not include it.

If he can paypal it, he can transfer that to his checking and withdraw it for cash by the weekend. CASH CASH CASH. Plus you lose 3% if you accept it through paypal as a normal transaction.

Why not try a local Community/Tech college? I just signed up/had my first class in TIG at the local tech college. 1 night a week/5 hours a night/36 hours total for a little under $200. Supposed to be just mild steel TIG, but the teacher will show us plasma cutting, stainless/aluminum, and a...

Why would he pre-rust them, then screw them together, then rust them again? Wouldn't a more real life scenario be to use rust them after they were together? If a nut or bolt is already rusty to the point where the threads are rusty, I'm not using it. Impacts are nice too for rusty bolts.

Hmmmm........Well, are you sure the cadmium/aluminum was the cause of the corrosion? It all depends on the alloy of aluminum you have. Take a look at the galvanic chart: http://www.corrosionist.com/Aluminum_%20Galvanic_Corrosion.html From...

Back from the dead. Couldn't I buy a hose reel with 25 or 20 feet hose and replace it with a 50ft one? I think I have some air hose lying around that I could put on there that is longer than 20ft.

Hi, In the market for a hose reel and was looking at the Cox Reel LG series (http://www.coxreels.com/quality_reels/lg_series.html ). Anyone have this, used it, likes or dislikes about it? At about $115 w/o hose (Reference http://www.fastoolnow.com/lg-lpl-320.html) is a pretty good deal...

I'm more amazed at the $200.00 Torque Wrench and the $100.00 piston retracting tool. My little retracting piston retracting box cost me $10.00 and I splurged on a 1/2 SK Torque Wrench for about $90. But to the insurance thing, are pictures good enough or do they want specific item #'s and...

Are you talking about super-heating water?

You can check how round your circle is by checking it against the most spherical thing ever made. The pursuit of the Kilogram: But thanks for the book. I'll have to look it up.

So liberal, there's a gun trader and gunsmith within eye shot of the capitol building? Search, And Ye Shall Find Try an Ace Hardware, I believe they can order it for you if they don't stock it. Also, any industrial supply, building supply, or other commercial supply type of business should...

To think they engineer a car for it to be worked on later, and even 10-15 years after purchase is quite absurd. The vehicle is designed to be put together on the factory floor as cheap and fast as possible. Serviceability is usually second or third on the list. I had the same thing on my...

Local Tech or community college. Take classes at your leisure. Pick out what you want, like welding, or machining, or engine repair, or auto body. I went through a auto-body repair program through my local tech college, and I can paint, weld, pull, and sling mud better than the average...
