    Inverter window ac

    The wifi has also been fairly reliable on it. And the app is a little rough but very workable. The remote is ok. I dropped it behind the bed a week ago and it has remained there since because the App does a decent enough job overall. Ours is in the bedroom and keeps the room at 65 all...

    Inverter window ac

    After almost a 4 week wait for amazon to deliver i've had the Midea 8k BTU U Inverter model for just about a month now and generally love it. This is the change the window AC market has been waiting for. It's quiet! To the point that if there is even mild ambient noise I need to listen...

    Home mechanic must haves

    I think some of the best money I have ever spent and one of my most used tools in the garage is my LED headlamp. It keeps both hands free and the extra light is always helpful. I wear it for every car project. Somewhat accidentailly, but I started using a 5-6' piece of Reflectix in place of...

    Successful off grid lighting?

    If your budget allows I'd recommend a setup with an RV inverter/charger like this: http://www.xantrex.com/power-products/inverter-chargers/freedom-458.aspx It has an AC input and output, and then connects to your battery bank. It will run the inverter off the battery bank, and when their is an...

    small 110 volt welder

    I have a Hobart Handler 140 and have also been really happy with it. If you do go with the HH140 for the type of stuff you're talking about you might want to consider their kit for using paintball CO2 tanks: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VECKSI/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It only adds minimal...

    Craftsman 30/33 gallon compressor

    The tank likely was a stamped plate on it somewhere that states the max pressure the tank is rated for. I own a dewalt compressor and there is a devilbiss plate on the tank that says its pressure rating.

    Craftsman Club Thread

    That 6 drawer top box was $99.99 January 7, 2012 before any discounts or tax when I bought it. I bought that, the 4 drawer base cabinet, and 3 drawer middle units for ~$298 after taxes and discounts when I got it. In hindsight I could have managed it for $288 but I botched some coupon codes at...

    Argon / Shielding Gas Average Price?

    Paid $23 last year on a C25 refill for a new 40cf tank I purchased off eBay. Didn't really want to exchange it since it was a brand new tank and I only needed it for occasional sheet metal repair.

    I've been eyeing that jigsaw too. With $25 off that's seems really reasonable for it.
