    Log Splitters - do they really need all that tonnage?

    That makes more sense but I guess I'm not sure how the blade is to be mounted. Is it somehow going to be mounted on a stationary part of the forklift? If that's the case it needs to be something that can take the force. If it is something standalone it needs to be anchored to the floor that...

    Log Splitters - do they really need all that tonnage?

    This. Ignore any other issues with the plan, but I'm pretty sure forklifts are single acting. That is hydraulic pressure up but gravity pulls the mast back down. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    What gloves for working on a car in 25 degree cold?

    If it's only -4c, and if I me doing something that needs dexterity I don't wear gloves. Otherwise If dexterity isn't much of a concern or it is - 10 to - 20c I use tough duck work gloves. Even at those temps if I need dexterity I just take the gloves off for a little while. I haven't found a...

    Is it bad to store 18V batteries in the cold?

    I keep my batteries inside in the winter, usually once the temp starts going below 0c. If it's above freezing outside I don't worry about it. This past week overnight lows were in the - 35 to - 38c range so I definately don't want them outside then. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Is this normal? Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/2" hi-torque impact question

    That doesn't sound right, it shouldn't have a problem with a bolt like that. It is normal for it to hammer for a second or two before removing lug nuts, but it shouldn't be stuck with that caliper bolt. I used my non fuel Milwaukee impact to completely disassemble a 1991 Dodge Dakota to the...

    mini split reliability

    My parents have one at their place, they put it in as they have no ductwork in their house and window ac's just couldn't keep up. It's probably been about 10byears they have had it now and it's running fine, cools down the entire house much better than a window unit ever did. I can't remember...

    Overhead Garage Lighting electrical ?'s

    Where are you located? If in Canada I don't think you can even put them on a 20 amp circuit, 15 is max for lighting. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Schlage door hardware quality

    I agree. Local building code where I am now calls for a deadbolt to be mandatory. We don't even lock our doors let alone use a deadbolt. Not to mention on the main floor we have 14 windows that could be easily broken, and are more than large enough for a person to easily walk through. Sent...

    Wifi to Garage that is 450' from house

    You don't need a unifi pro or an AC model which are both more expensive. As I stated earlier I have two unifi long range (non ac version) setup about 400 feet away, they are both mounted in the building they serve but have no other obstructions. They are setup to work in bridge and ap mode at...

    Wifi to Garage that is 450' from house

    I guess op should state what he is doing with the WiFi connection as you are right, if he is just browsing the Internet the unifi will be fine. If he is streaming bluray rips then that is a different story. Also for the op, keep in mind your WiFi range is dictated by the least powerful device...

    Wifi to Garage that is 450' from house

    For such a short distance why use those instead of two unifi'S? The unifi long range should handle that no problem, and would also provide your full wireless access for the house and shop and everywhere inbetween. Correct me if I'm wrong but with the nanostation wouldn't he still need to have a...

    Wifi to Garage that is 450' from house

    You could use unifi long range access points. Put one in house and one in garage and set the garage up to run off of the one in the house. I've done this before over long distances and it works great. They are also reasonably priced at 80 bucks each. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Milwaukee vs Makita

    My old job I had all makita tools, they worked great and warranty when needed was awesome. No hassle at all when getting something fixed (which was uncommon) . I happened to win a Milwaukee drill and radio about 6byears ago so at home I am now a Milwaukee guy and I don't think ill ever switch...
