Excellent! Screw extractors. Now, my memory is jogged. I bought them around 2010 specifically to remove the phillips screws that were holding the jaws in place on my '56 Wilton Cadet vise restoration. Can't find the pics but they worked flawlessly! The screwheads were stripped but the...

Found these laying in the back of my toolbox. Bought these years ago for something but I can't remember what they are or what they're for! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone! I'm liking the Grundfos recirculation system. The only thing I don't care for is the timer. We're retired and the wife and I don't take showers the same time every day. I'd like it to just work when we need it! I guess we'll just have to figure that out...

We're about to remodel our small master bathroom. Currently, when I turn on the shower it takes several minutes for the water to get hot. I assume a hot water booster pump plumbed into the hot water heater would alleviate that or at least get the water hot faster. Is that right? I see them...

Very nice! Now the trick is...........keeping it that way!

Really nice job!

HD, Lowes and even Amazon advertise 'kink free' hoses and none of them are worth a ****! I've tried em. I coil them up loosely on garden hose hangars mounted to the house and every one of them kink, in multiple areas, when I remove it. I need a 75' truly kink free hose. Any ideas?

That is probably what I'll wind up doing. Then, I'm gonna have to pick at it for awhile.

I like jtbinvalrico's solution. I'm going with that! Thanks all!

I have string lights in my backyard that wrap around some redwood trees. There's also a large family of squirrels that live back there. I had an outdoor extension cord that connected the two strings that went over the pool but the squirrels had a field day with that. How can I squirrel proof...

Well done! Great utilization of a small space!

Typical older California tract home. It's pretty bad! I assume, remove old caulk using razor blade and putty knife, scrub with Simple Green and replace with new caulk. Will Simple Green do it? What about replacement caulk? Best brand and type? Here's some pics of the nastiness! Should...

Lost my remote and need a new one. It's an older Craftsman 1/2 hp manufactured in 2009. The part # is 41A5021-3M-315. I Googled it and a bunch came up but nothing exactly matching my part #. What to do?
