    OBD2 tools for iPhone (apps & scanners)

    This 'dongle': http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJRYMFC/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Plus the iPhone app "EngineLink" works with Bluetooth 4.0 if you have a recent enough phone to take advantage. I'm a bit disappointed in the refresh rate, but it works well enough. The app is likewise kinda...

    Anyone have any real world experience with radiant barrier in the attic?

    atticfoil.com for me, $126 worth of light but very durable foil. A friend and I took the better part of a day to staple it up last year and this summer, the upstairs interior is more comfortable than last year. I have several 'attics' and one of them got the remnant foil, incomplete coverage...

    6 Point vs. 12 Point - My thoughts

    Yeeeup. In my experience, less than 5 years in the salt and 6 point is required. 12 point is a guaranteed round-off and headache. Even with a good "flank drive" six point, you have to do all the tricks to keep from shearing the bolt...

    Generators - Switch Or No Switch?

    3500 watts won't run what you described, an electric stove by itself would bring a lot of portable generators to their knees. I ran a fridge, furnace, washer OR dryer, a few lamps, phone chargers and a biggish CRT tv for a week on a 5500/8500max generator with no problem. Of course, it was...

    Using Harbor Freight 20% Coupon @ Home Depot

    All the Lowe's and HDs around me carry junky products very much like Harbor Fright. Many (most?) of the old names are just exactly that now - only names. Lowe's and HD are the Walmarts of the tool and home improvement world and you're lucky to find the old USA-made quality there anymore. Have a...

    Craftsman 9PC long polish 12PT wrenches!
