    The Sordid Past of Harbor Freight Tools (this is NOT an HF bash thread!!!)

    I live in Alaska. My only dealings with HF has been for them to send me a catalog and then tell me they don't ship to Alaska when I try to order. Hopefully Amazon will cause them to tighten up their business. Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk

    LED / Metal Halid Replacement

    I have several of of them. I use them for lighting in my hobby machine shop, (older eyes need brighter lights). I think they are very extensive and very good leds. While I haven't measured the lumens they are VERY bright. My only compliant is the internal cooling fan is noisy. I've run mine...

    electrical crimp assortment

    Have you seen these? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07124B886/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It's your electrical connector with an adhesive lined heat shrink. I use them on any outdoor, (atv, boat, etc.) wiring. Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk

    Whole House Generator ?

    How about talking to people IN HIS AREA that have hired electricians? Seems like a no brainer to me. As correctly pointed out, what is code compliant where I live isn't code compliant everywhere. You know, I've been sitting debating with myself about pointing out what a dumb *** your are for...

    Whole House Generator ?

    My point exactly. In my state its ok. But if done in your state and something happened, oh boy! Insurance out the window, fines, maybe lawsuits. I told them to keep it in their garage. If done to building code it's designed to hold "gas powered equipment". [emoji38] Sent from my SM-P900...

    Whole House Generator ?

    Not to be rude, (I know people who say that are usually rude! LOL) but if you don't know electricity or generators you'd be money ahead to pay someone to figure it out for you. Will the generator run full time, part time, or just as an emergency generator? How large is the load going to be...

    Best way to cut 4/0 battery cable (on boat with limited room)

    I use a battery sawsall with a fine toothed blade. The trick is to firmly hold the cable on both sides of the cut. I'll enlist help. Press one side of the cable against some thing stationary with the sawsall and have my helper hold the other side of the cable with a large pair of channel...

    Wrench rack/tray organization

    I bought two of them and keep my metric wrenches in one and SAE wrenches in the other. (I have a metric drawer and a SAE drawer in my tool box.) I like them but am always looking for some thing better. They keep the wrenches organized nicely but it is kind of hard to see the size labeling...

    New Milwaukee batteries

    I went to the Milwaukee website. The price range for their list of vendors was $150 to $130 a battery, (18v 5.0 amp hour). But I agree with you, I'd pay $58 for genuine Milwaukee batteries. I was looking at Amazon, they have a lot of knockoffs that are "Milwaukee replacements". The best I...

    New Milwaukee batteries

    So, who did you purchase them from? We're they on sale? At $130 a battery, (18v 5.0 amp hour) the foreign ones don't look that bad. I've bought a couple of 28v China specials. They seem to work ok and at 1/2 the price of "genuine Milwaukee" I can live with ok. Sent from my SM-P900 using...

    Smithy Machine Tools

    Smithy & Shopmaster are rivals. When I bought my first 3in1 from Shopmaster the Smithy machines were just Shopmaster cheap copies. I've stuck with Shopmaster because they are a known to me and I'm use to dealing with the owner. From the Smithy website it looks like their product offerings...
