    Electric soldering iron resistance

    My pencil type soldering iron seems to be not working correctly. I have noticed that at certain points (not plugged in at all) that the resistance between the 2 power pins shows a very high resistance between one of the pins and the metal tip. I am fairly certain that this shouldn't be...

    old atlas drill press??

    Its when someone drills through the table on the drill press. The table can be swung in an arc and if people drill too far, they drill the table and if they do it enough it gives it the arc shape.

    Best size angle grinder

    Best size angle grinder

    Best for home DIY use. I would do things like cut metal bars and tubing, cut and sand wood, remove rust from metal. I need something usable for a beginner.

    HELP. I need to hide in plain sight

    +1 on the carport idea. You could install a roller door on the front of that (just like my friends dad did). You will still get the air flow and everything but people won't be able to see you, plus you have a sheltered area for your car/other stuff.
