Anyone have a Zoro coupon they aren't going to use? (I wasn't sure where to put this so please move if this is the wrong place, thanks)

I'm still holding out for the 30% off one..... Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I bought it used, the previous owner said about 6 months. It's a model that was sold last year so I'm guessing about a year or so old. And yeah, I'm not going to hardwire.

Well if that's what it was supposed to do then it was a complete failure.... since the unit was running when I noticed the cut. It was such a clean slice that I guess I just didn't see it last time. Cut almost all the way through the ground wire and cut into one of the hots. But... I was...

So I've got a 240v window AC unit in my shop, bought it used but it works fine. Although I inspected the cord already I noticed that it had been cut into last night. The cut goes almost all the way through the ground wire on the inside and through the insulation of one of the hot wires. I...

Just go to the Zoro site and search "welder" and the Hobart stuff will pop up. Usually searching with the most general term will work... Don't use brand names.

I just put 10 of the LOA lights in my shop... guess we'll see how long they last. I've had one in my garage for several months and it's still going fine and I really like the light it puts off. Instant full brightness, no fluorescent flicker and no hum was worth the chance to me. I guess if they...

JustSam.. that was it. Bad switch. I do way more electrical work than the avg homeowner but I'm no electrician... I was just assuming it was something I messed up. Used another switch and it's all good. Thanks man!

thanks for the recommendation... that looks like what I was looking for.

So I've got 8 receptacles (4x 2 gang boxes) that I have wired to a switch. I have a light plugged into one of the outlets - it's all 12/2 wire with 20amp 120v breaker and 20amp switch. When the switch is "on", the light is on and everything seems fine. When I flip the switch to "off", instead of...

Ok, I've sifted and searched through the flooring section quite a bit and haven't found what seems like a good enough answer. I've got a pole-barn with a slab floor that I'm turning into a workshop. It'll basically just be for woodworking and maybe some other assorted stuff. There won't be any...

It cost me $1000 to run a 100amp panel from one end of my residence to the shop, about 125ft away. Including the subpanel and installing everything. Along with fixing a couple of small problems from previous owners. $1000 for labor is ridiculous.

I got a couple sheets of "3/4 inch, 4x8ft, Basswood plywood" for $12 each.. reg price was listed as $44. They were sitting on a cart and I asked an employee, he said they were about to be taken off the floor so they could put something else in it's place on the rack, but that I could have them...

Yeah the plates do look like they were pressed on rather than beat on with a hammer..... They're still perfectly flat and don't have any dents in them. So Maybe they were made like that from the factory. The guy I talked to said if they were plated and not nailed together that they would def...
