    What is this tool?

    It seems very exact to be homemade, but possible. There's no markings anywhere. Not sure why the pictures uploaded blurry.

    What is this tool?

    I found this at a job site the other day in the foundation of where a garage/shed was. No idea what it is. Some sort of puller or something. It has really fine threads on the rod and a hole in the bottom. The sleeve seems to be a hard plastic and it's made of stainless. Any ideas tool gurus?

    A/C Condensing Unit Broke (Technical Help Needed)

    Make sure you turn the stat to off before you change the contactor, otherwise you'll still have 24 volts on the coil. You can carefully take each wire off with the 24 still active, just be careful not to hit anything.

    A/C Condensing Unit Broke (Technical Help Needed)

    If the $250 is the price of the cap itself, that's ridiculous. Ours run customers about $40 bucks depending on rating. $250 better have a lifetime replacement or something with it.

    A/C Condensing Unit Broke (Technical Help Needed)

    Last year 22 was about $450 a jug our cost. I hated charging people what we had to charge, and I'd usually flat out tell them what we paid for it so they wouldn't think I was trying to rip them off. Thankfully, it's a lot cheaper this year but it's still just under $300 a jug here. A lot of...

    A/C Condensing Unit Broke (Technical Help Needed)

    Unless the contacts look burned out or damaged, id just keep the old one in. The ants were most likely enough to block voltage. Never hurts to get a new one to keep on hand though

    Let's see your toolbox.

    My Waterloo my dad gave me back in jr high. We had to fix a couple of rust spots inside with sheet metal, but it works great, and means a lot. I'll give it to my kid when they're old enough. My main box the wife got me for Christmas after we bought our house. It's a Husky, and had worked...

    I need to do this!

    Now that's camouflage. Someone thinks they're stealing tools, and they steal beer instead

    New control wire?

    There shouldn't be anything else to reset as far as the unit goes. I'm guessing there's probably more chewing somewhere down the wires. The fan that comes on is the blower right? Nothing comes on outside?

    Favorite Nutdrivers?

    I'm an hvac guy so I use them every day. I love my Kleins. Never had any problems with them. I have a couple craftsmans at home that I've had forever and the 5/16 seems to strip a lot of nuts out, but it might just be old and worn. The Kleins hold up well to stuck nuts, and no one likes stuck...
