    Dewalt Kits at HD.

    Doesn't that fly in the face of V*A=W? Seems sort of weird as the 60V is just more batteries stacked in there as far as I can tell.

    Dewalt Kits at HD.

    I'm seeing some kits for Dewalt cordless tools at Home Depot right now. Was looking to score a recip saw and a cutoff saw. Noticed they have a 4 tool (drill, driver, recip and cutoff) w 2 4ah batteries plus charger AND a circ saw "thrown in" for $449. Would the tools in these kits be a lower...

    Ever do something so stupid you wonder if you should be left unsupervised?

    Here's one I hate to admit. During the pandemic and the toilet paper shortage my adult kids decided that bidets were the way to go. So they bought us one of the retrofit your toilet setups and I installed it. I wasn't impressed but too lazy to remove it right away. One night I nodded off in...

    Plumbed my new shop for compressed air - several pictures

    Can't you just cut black pipe to length and then thread it yourself? It wasn't very hard and I just rented the pipe threader from the local rental store.

    Campbell Hausfeld IronForce compressor value?

    I guess my question is whether or not the newer CH IronForce is a decent compressor. I'm good with the size/cost.

    Campbell Hausfeld IronForce compressor value?

    I'm looking at a CH Ironforce compressor 7.5hp, 80 gallon 2 stage that was purchased and then not used (so new?). I see these things list at over 2K or maybe close to 3K. I'd be looking at significantly less than that - under 1500. Worth it?

    Filter1 still in business?

    Filter1 still in business?

    Does anyone know if the company selling Wix filters at decent prices and known as Filter1 is still in business? I've gone through the order process more than once and seemed to take my order but no e-mail verification or charges to the CC.

    Tips & Tricks

    Heck --- a mechanic friend says that's what they do when pulling the dashboard in cars to replace things like the heater core. They use their phone cameras I think.

    Tips & Tricks

    I haven't tried it but I saw someone used a magnetic whiteboard laid flat on the bench to put small parts on and used the dry erase marker to name/identify what each thing/group was.

    Looking to buy a propane powered generator as backup power for my house -- mostly the well pump.

    Looking at something in the 7 to 10 kW range. Any opinions/experience with brands and reliability? Seems like the Amazon stuff (Duromax/Durostar) stuff is questionable hit and miss.
