I had a co detector in the garage for a month or so. It would sound spaying car or brake clean. It went off so much that I just unplugged it and threw it in a box. You can by the hose from many parts stores. There is a kit that will cover many set up. Many times the outlet in the door is for...

I have one of those, but it is buried since I bought the newer version. I would just look up a few wheel bearings on different makes and see what the inside diameter is. I would guess they are all pretty close. As far as thickness I would guess maybe 1/4 inch. Any size of plate steel should...

I would call an auction or estate sale place first. They need enough to have a sale. That is the good and the bad stuff. There is a cost, for them to do the work, and there simply has to be enough value in them doing the work. When they are done, the rest really has no value, or very little...

I have used steel zip ties is some applications when pex fitting just will not work.

Not sure OP is going to find a one crimper does all. I use flexilla air hoses, and a pex clamp works very well for the repair. I would try pex fittings on any low pressure use. High pressure really isn't something I would want to mess around with. Proper repair would be my go to in that...

Any of the smaller snow blowers would work. As a private snow removal guy I use plastic shovels. Damaging deck surfaces is not top on my list to pay for. Any kind of snow blower will scuff a deck up. I have small blowers, Its not really great to lift them in and out of the back of my pick up to...

That appears to be a western plow board. You should be able to buy the actual skids for it. They are real tall and come with washers to adjust them. On gravel lots I would adjust them so the blade had more clearance. Heavy wet snow you will still pick up gravel. You should be able to buy...

Snap on did buy Sioux tools. The poster is right about them being aimed at the industrial side. My SO dealer for years went to the industrial side of SO. He sold his franchise and worked directly for the company. He has been by several times, with trucks outfitted towards certain industries...

Most any charging tester will have an amp clamp that will show a draw. Getting into fixing the draw, I would go with the voltage drop test across the fuses. It takes a while to get used to, but once you figure it out it works fast. Of coarse there are a few things that are not fused and then...

I would be careful how you word what you want. A variance or zoning change goes with the property. Zoning changes likely allow you much more than just a bigger footprint. Like other said letter will be sent to neighbors for their opinion. Changing the zoning may allow a business to be ran...

I have never switched mine out that often. A couple times a year for me. Do have to add water and soap between clean outs. I use mine in a 24x30 garage. The mix rate of the soap is something you have to sort of work at. To much and you get that smell when using it. To little and it just suds...

I would guess it is heated by an electric tube into the tank. Much like a water heater. The vent is just that. It vents off the steam. Not really steam, but hot spray that is coating the inside of the tank when on. About soap. There is a lot out there, make sure to buy it for hot water use...

I would also ask what you intend to do with it. I have an OTC one for many years. It is three legged and has worked fine. Mine is square and has holes through out to make it very adjustable. One part just slides along some square tub Just kind of searching around, it looks like the newer...

It is threads like this, that are giving all trades people bad name. With the exception of very few, most do not wake up today and think who am I going to overcharge, scam or screw today. They have a job to do and they do it. A shop doesn't care if its a corolla or a corvette. A roofer doesn't...

I sort of did this last year for my kids at Christmas. All three have bought homes in the last two years. It just seemed when they wanted to do a project or I was there to do something, they just had limited stuff. I guess I just bought them stuff that they could use and I didn't have to take...
