I heard that a local dealer got tired of guys skipping out on him, so he made a calendar featuring these bums and started selling it. Apparently it pissed off corporate enough that the CEO got involved...

Depending on the electric company they may not allow those. I inquired about one when I got my Predator a couple years back and our power company won't allow one. I ended up getting a transfer switch and inlet installed for not much more money.

Funny how Snap-on owns both of them now...

Sorry my method didn't work, but glad you got it out.(y)

Just a straight punch held on an angle to catch the inner race of the bearing should work fine. However, I have had situations where the bearing is destroyed that bad that the inner race and all the balls fall out and the outer race stays stuck in the rear plate. In those cases, I usually just...

For future reference, usually when doing that job on one of these guns or others similar, I clamp the rotor splines into a vise with aluminum jaw inserts to prevent damage, then heat the housing up and slide it onto the rotor/end plate assembly. I've also sanded down around the outside diameter...

Correct. Another reason for this is so you don't strain yourself using a wrench that is barely long enough to get to the max torque rating. I'd have to measure my SO that I have, but I'm not sure I could do the max 250 ft-lbs. that it's calibrated for. One of the things that gripes me about...

I would love to reinsulate my upstairs, and if I do I'm using something similar to what these people did...

Having done torque wrench calibration for a major tool manufacturer as part of my job, I see this misconception pop up, and it's wrong. Torque wrenches are calibrated between 20% and 100% of full scale, meaning that if your wrench is 100 ft-lbs, then it is calibrated accurate between 20 and 100...

I got that same set for the same price a couple years ago at HD on Father's Day weekend. I needed something new, as all my old cordless drill batteries were shot. Since I had to step into a new platform anyway I went Milwaukee. Works for me. Since then I've bought a reciprocating saw and...

Looks like old-school piston ring expanders.

Odd that you say that DisplayPort is king in desktops, all ours at work use HDMI and my laptop has an auxiliary HDMI output. All the new monitors we have only have HDMI connections.

Our house had issues the first winter we lived there with bubbling sounds on the 2nd floor when the heat ran, and low heat output both there and the back porch. The back porch has a big cast iron radiator that they had to bleed every year. Called the plumber, turns out the auto fill valve (on...

And you can't mount the clutch on the motor and just use a smaller (say 4") pulley on the driven shaft?

I don't believe that Snap-on fixes those anymore. Sorry.
