    Tool for gripping T40 “cam’d - out” Button Head 6MM Steel Bolt in Aluminum

    To answer the question as to who put these 2 T40 6MM Button Head Torx on there in an obscure location: Credit goes to some General Motors Engineer. Why, is beyond me. Replacements run $7 and some change each and apparently they are now HEX head. (Imagine that?) I bought vehicle used, and...

    Worth 4 Post Lift

    A Lift is something I’ve always wanted, and with each day of age, I want one more than ever. :) Sorry, I can’t speak to that brand. I always buy used and my first question is always: “Why are you selling it?” Short of failing health, moving/downsizing, I don’t know why anyone would sell a good...

    Caulking gap between add-on Patio and Brick House

    Hi, Previous owner added a Patio and the gap between it and house was filled with some type of Sealant which is failing. I removed the deterioration section and found no Backer-Rod per se. It appears anything within reach was shoved into the gap and an unknown type of Sealant applied. I...

    Pump Saver for a 320’ Well Pump

    Continuing my education of Well Pumps… Advertising states these are the “bomb” to protect a Well Pump. That said: 1)Does anyone have a Pump Saver? 2)Are they worth the cost? 3)How difficult are they to install? [I’ve done 3 new power panels in renovations.) Any advise would be...
