Have you done any flash programming with it?

I am also still running the corded Super Sawzall but will look at that M18 Milwaukee. Is it the 2821-20 or the 2722-20? Haven't figured out the difference except the 2722 is $50 more.

As you go down the scanner investment rabbit hole, another capability that you could very well want in the future is the ability to do flash reprogramming. A lot of the fixes these days (and likely more in the future) require updating programming. Techstream provides access to those updates.

Techstream is also my current plan when I go bi-directional as I am exclusively Toyota at this point. I was planning on investing in the pricey non-bluetooth Mongoose cable rather than a knock-off e-bay cable because, besides diagnostics, I want to be able to do flash programming. Have always...

I service Toyota's and would not use anything other than an OEM (or OEM Mfr Denso) MAF so would clean it if possible rather than buying a cheap one. The rule of thumb is at idle, the flow should be equivalent to the displacement of the engine in liters. I use the CRC Electronics Part Cleaner...

Just 16” but my Vessel Megadora JIS with the handy-dandy mid-shaft hand hold has never let me down. Oh wait, we're counting the handle? I guess it's 20.5" .

I started out with a basic OBDII code reader and went to the moderately priced Bluedriver when I found the need to read SRS and Trans codes. It has been sufficient so far and can also read expanded "live data". I am waiting to invest in bi-directional control until I need it. The problem is...

Bluedriver should read all the system codes on your car including standard engine OBDII, Trans, SRS, ABS and HVAC codes. It does not require updates. You can confirm the coverage on their website. It does not provide bi-directional control. The Next Gen version is currently $95...

I have a heavy duty set of jumper cables but they hang on the garage wall - don't carry them anymore. Now carry a JNC660 jump box I bought a number of years ago. You have to remember to charge it every 3 months or so. Plenty of oomph and the clamps on it are very robust but getting harder for...

I recently bought a pair of these Georgia Boot Eagle 1's and like them. Important to me that they are waterproof and I can get in & out of them without fussing with laces. Would have preferred composite rather than steel toes but these are fine...

Jack's confirmed A1972 was correct part but not in stock with no replenishment date from DeWalt. Ordered one from Ebay although likely a knock-off.

Also having trouble with a 20+ year old Craftsman 6HP 30 gal 150 psi compressor with AO Smith motor. It will start at low pressure and build pressure appropriately but will not restart when it drops below the lower pressure set point (around 110 psi). It tries to start maybe 3 times (a few...

This is what I used for downlighting. Once you get the holes cut and the wiring pulled, they are very simple to install. https://www.homedepot.com/p/HALO-RL-6-in-Adjustable-Canless-Recessed-LED-Downlight-for-New-Consctruction-or-Remodel-900-1200lm-5CCT-D2W-120V-DM-RL6LS9FSD2W1EWHDM/326550080...

As I get older, I see the need for upgrading lighting in all my work areas. I spent a lot of time on the lighting in my kitchen renovation so that I can I adjust it up when needed but turn off/dim lights so that it is not objectionable in the evenings. For the undercabinet lighting, all...

This doesn't surprise me but what do when you are throwing in a few new joists?
