I have a 60" Ridgid steel wrench at work and a couple of months back did a full resto on a Ridgid 48" steel compound pipe wrench that uses the same jaw as the 60"... they are absolute beasts and I can definitely understand why people who swing those every day have massive arms!

I have a LOT of Ridgid steel and aluminum pipe wrenches. Most of my 18" and smaller wrenches are new, both aluminum and steel, but all of my 24", 36" and 48" wrenches were once thickly coated in rust when I found them at used tool stores, pawn shops, swap meets and ebay. The old Ridgid wrenches...

I've had a new set of waterproof cordura custom fitted seat covers for my 2016 GMC duramax sitting on the bench for a few weeks now waiting for a weekend to free up to replace the 6 year old sun faded ones I installed when I first got the truck. Finally got a free "weekend" of having Sunday off...

Tool giveaways on GJ?... OF COURSE I'm IN! And I could definitely upgrade my ancient Innova knock-off.

True future-proofing in a shop is running busduct on the ceiling, but with today's material prices... busduct is EXPENSIVE... especially copper busduct, not to mention the cost of the buckets, kellems grips, and SOOW. I have set up a couple of hobby shops and quite a few commercial shops this...

For indoor drops, it is permissible to run NM-B in conduit and use the conduit as nothing more than a protected chase for the NM-B, but as others have said, if you are pulling more than a single NM-B in a straight conduit, its going to be much less than enjoyable to accomplish. If your attic is...

This is the reason that when I do septic pump / pump station controls, I always prefer to do explosion proof sealoffs for line voltage and low voltage conduits to above ground enclosures or control stations for any conduit coming directly from a tank. With that said, its always a good idea to...

As others have suggested, use bare 6ga solid copper to connect the 2 rods. There is no maximum distance between rods as long as your resistance to ground is less than 25 ohms or less. You can direct bury the copper in the ground, you can run it along the foundation. When you do run the wire...

I do have a Klein non-contact voltage tester that I carry around at work, but the only thing I ever really use it for is using the fairly powerful laser pointer to help to point to routes or equipment on the ceiling from the floor and to quickly shoot a laser line for perspective conduit paths...

RF signal generator for precision high speed induction heat treatment

My first months as an apprentice WAY BACK when were at a stud mill where our jurisdiction started at the 160kV lines entering our substation. Most of my work was at 13.8kV and below... but did have some hands on experience with a couple of our 25kVDC motors and associated controls... was an...

That would have to be a tiny burrito for ants 🤣

Every time I have to put mine on, its a reminder that I need to really eat healthier and loose some damn weight... 🤣

Kind of... its kind of the same principle... but microwaves transmit in the GHz radio frequency range, whereas our machines transmit in the Mhz radio frequency range... but they are running at between 7~10kW, whereas most residential and commercial cooking microwaves run between 600 ~ 1500W.
