Did you end up installing one? I also found this old thread and Im planning on installing one of the Woodward v22 on the exterior wall of my garage.

I've never tried using it for running a sprinkler but I have transferred water 200' through garden hose. Those runs were close to level from source to end but had lots of dips along the way, and I've done shorter 50' runs with about 10-15' vertical height gain. I use 55 gallon drums with the...

We use stored rain water on our small fruit/grape farm, and more than once it's helped us late in the summer when our normal water source wasn't able to keep up with our irrigation needs. Primarily, the system is used to irrigate some fruit trees where I don't have permanent irrigation lines...

I'm in the planning stages of reorganizing my shop this winter and I've been looking at all kinds of cabinets to hold my various spare parts, power tools and etc. There are alot of great looking setups. I'm curious to see some open door photos of them full of your stuff. How do people organize...

I use mine on our fruit/grape farm. I got one of them to supplement my gas Stihl. For the initial spring weed cleanup around the orchard trees and vineyard I use the Stihl but after that I use the Milwaukee several times a week. I find it works great. I use it for 2-3 hours at a time swapping a...

That looks better than alot of kitchens. I'm curious how people who mount their grinding wheels to their nice work benches keep the area clean? My grinding wheel area is the mess pit of the shop with constant metal dust and sparks thrown around the space. -Chris

So I see a lot of hammer heads without handles. Do you have a few handles you swap in as needed or do you use those heads more like Dollys? -Chris

I'm in need of a belt sander to strip a bunch of cedar siding. I cruised my normal Milwaukee dealers without any success, and I don't see one listed on their website either. I wasn't sure I'd find or buy a M18 version(run time), but I expected them to still have a corded version. Is there any...

More searching and I found this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007NM7EUM/?tag=atomicindus08-20 and I'm thinking I could use it with the Onyx receiver($12 on eBay) where it could live in that little sealed compartment on the radio. Then just leave that plugged into the usb plug in the...

Alrighty, I've searched the forums, BestBuy, Amazon, SiriusXM and a slew of other google sites without any success. Our internet and cell service, where we live, is horrible, plain and simple. We are on the other side of the technology divide. One of our vehicles has a factory XM radio I...

If your in the Eugene, Oregon area Jerry's has the bottom Milwaukee Packout roller box on sale for $79.99. I honestly don't know if thats a good deal or not, since most of the time I've seen them in stores they are a set. I might just have to replace my 5 gallon bucket that I use as my quick...

Can that Vac be used to **** up water like a wet/dry shop vac? I don't see that capability listed in the description, so I doubt it. For example, I like to use my shop vac for getting the last bit of water out of toilet bowls when installing a new toilet. I think I'll have to go with the 0880-20...

I had never heard of this before, but it sounds like the perfect opportunity to fill in a few missing sockets and get a few things off my wish lists. If I drop items into a shopping cart now, and they end up being on sale during the event will the prices automaticly update or will I need to...

I'm glad I'm not the only one, although I didn't realize how awkward it is till I bought mine! I've kinda adjusted, had to, but would sure appreciate a better switch. -Chris

Looks good, are you going to put a gooseneck hitch on(you had a 5th wheel hitch I believe??) -Chris
