I have had a tremendous amount of damage from chipmunks. I tried rat traps--works sometimes, and all the other suggestions. I finally found a more humane way-- I have several gutter down spouts extensions (round corrugated type) and when I see one, nine out of ten times, when they see me, they...

Had the same situation a few years ago only on a larger scale. Inherited a classic car that had 1/4 tank of fuel for over 19 years. I tried virtually every thing I had and finally found that Acetone would instantly dissolve the gum. This is a strong paint cleaner, available at most hardware...

Your best guess appraisal for most any item is eBay. Type in Craftsman 1/3 HP Bench Grinder and click on "sold items". I don't consider shipping cost in the value of any item.

To the best of my memory, that's about double the price I paid for my 1/3 HP Craftsman grinder, back in the early 70s. Couple of months ago, I bought a used one exactly like mine from Pawn Shop that ran good but was a little scratched up, for $25.00. I buy a lot of used tools and I personally...

Apparently you are not 69 years old and have an allergic reaction to stings and you may not have eight small grandchildren that love to play and explore?

Last night was my regular time to spray for wasp, spiders and other pests. I spray every other week and was surprised to find a wasp nest about the size of a pack of cigarettes. After thoroughly saturating the nest last night, this morning I went out and knocked the nest to the ground. couple of...

While living on the river and having a swimming pool, I have dealt with wasp problems for years. I always found it better/safer to spray at night, with flashlight. Although extreme caution must be used, I sprayed with a stainless steel sure shot air up spray can filled with gasoline. I never...

I can't get eBay's sold price either, but it gives me idea for pricing. I can't remember ever having an item that I could not find in completed or sold items. Like I have a Stihl 200t chainsaw in exceptional condition that I can't sell for $475.00! Saws that don't come close to mine in...

Best appraisal for virtually every item can be found on eBay---Sold listings.

Many years ago, I bought a new one identical to this. Great grinder with no problems. About two months ago, I was surfing a local pawn shop and picked one up for $25.00. Was a little surprised because it was priced for $40.00!

"BTW Air systems should be black iron, not galvanized." WHY?

A few years ago, I plumbed a gas supply in my basement. I bought all the pipe and cut and threaded it myself. I bought all the fittings from Lowes. SEVEN out of eighteen joints leaked two of these were unions and they leaked from the brass ring and from the pipe threads. I had used Leaklock...

A few years ago, my late brother gave me a 1976 MGB Roadster. He lost interest in the car and had it stored in his garage, covered with a plastic tarp, for 18 years. I know this is hard to believe, since it had less the SIX K miles. Why he would do that is still a mystery to me???? Anyhow, the...

This is what I found---- http://www.spraynine.com/media/products/msds/26832.pdf

Definitely don't want this to sound like an advertisement--- I started using Spray9 about 35 years ago while detailing cars. Before discovering it, I was using many different products. It is designed as a vinyl cleaner but I have used it on cloth upholstery and carpet with very favorable...
