    Gree 30k btu mini split with 4 wall units control wiring?

    I'd be shocked if the indoor units cannot be independently controlled. You should be able to turn on/off each head and set the temperatures independently. You will not be able to set one unit for heat and another for cooling. BTW, I have a Gree which I installed myself. It works fine - no major...

    Anyone regretted installing mini splits on an old house?

    I installed a couple of mini splits on my 10 year old house a few years ago to eliminate ugly window units and to supplement heat for the fall and spring in NH. With current prices of oil and electricity in my area and given the efficiency of my units, it's cheaper to run the mini splits instead...

    Interesting - I also have the KO Worksharp with the blade grinding attachment. It's absolutely awesome. There is a small learning process

    Husky Serpentine Belt Tool Kit $24.97

    I did a 2008 Honda CRV last year in a parking lot where it failed without special tools. It was a *****. I bought this and look forward (???) to using it! Seems like a much nicer kit than HF and anything else priced in this range. No brainer for me. A single use and it's paid for itself and then...

    Becoming Electrician - Tool Recommendations

    I'm gonna guess you're not an electrician. You're always supposed to test these on a known live circuit and ensure it properly detects before using on a dead or unknown circuit. Would you rather have a false detection or miss a detection? I know which one I'd pick. I literally rub these...

    Difference between 1 and 2 stage compressors producing same PSI?

    It's on the website from your link. Had to use the 360 view. Considering the other specs from the website, I'd say the 5.3 CFM @ 90 PSI makes the most sense. You could certainly ask the manufacturer but it's probably a crapshoot with who answers the phone.

    Difference between 1 and 2 stage compressors producing same PSI?

    The factory sticker on the Kobalt says: 5.3 CFM @90 PSI 6.1 CFM @40 PSI The manual and website both say 4.1 SCFM @90 PSI. Clearly, there's a discrepancy.

    Difference between 1 and 2 stage compressors producing same PSI?

    I think the Lowes butchered the specs for the Kobalt. 4.1 SCFM @90 PSI 5.2 SCFM @100 PSI 3.9 SCFM @175 PSI Yeah, that's not adding up haha.

    Best flush cutters

    The Swanstrom M403C are extremely sharp and precise. I recently had to remove a very tiny, very tight stitch from a wound on an infant. The hook on the special stitch removal scissors just were not small enough to get under the stitch. I would have had to dig into the wound to get under. Keep...

    Torque Wrenches - ??? mini splits

    I bought a Doyle 10" adjustable wrench (pretty nice wrench BTW) and then cut a 3/8 square hole near the adjuster. I plan to use it with a regular 3/8 torque wrench.

    Best Ratcheting Screwdriver? New to the forum

    You've got my attention. I have the Craftsman version of the Megapro. My biggest complaint is that the body is just enormous. It just doesn't fit in a tool pouch nicely. How does the Vessel compare? Looks smaller. I've got Klein non-ratcheting too and my biggest problem is that the bits pull...

    Best Place to buy Mini Split

    Don't count out Amazon. I just bought a 2 ton DuctlessAire with lineset and everything for $1299. That's over $200 cheaper than Home Depot. Don't forget to check with your utility for rebates. I'll be getting back $800.

    Individual socket rails or socket rail trays?

    I'm torn between the trays and rails. I love easy to read size indicators on the trays but I love the portability of the rails. Is there a reasonably priced product or way of obtaining both?
