What are these? I found them while cleaning out my uncle's house. He didn't use any tools. He may have found them in a dumpster or brought them back from overseas. The sizes of the balls range from 1-1/4" to 1/8" (the smallest one in the photo is 1/4", I missed 1/8" one).

You don't need a smart TV, just the Amazon Fire Stick. You can download the Dish anywhere app onto the Fire Stick and use the app to watch TV. Using the app you can watch Dish or even recorded shows from your home DVR. Mark

I have a 5' x 8' trailer that had a plywood bottom that rotted out. I had a hard time finding a 5' x 8' piece of plywood let alone a pressure treated one. I found pressure treated pine porch flooring boards at Menards. They are 3/4" thick and 3 1/8" wide and tongue and groove. It gave me a...

I have a weber Genesis that's over 20 years old. It's a natural gas grill. If you have natural gas at your house I would look at plumbing natural gas and getting a natural gas grill. I never have to worry about changing tanks or running out of gas.

I'm not sure what you mean by only using one rebate at a time. You can use multiple rebate checks to pay for one transaction. If the check is more than your transaction, they will give you the check back and sometimes write the remaining balance on the check. The remaining balance is printed...

I bought a natural gas grill about 20 years ago. Plumbed the natural gas from the kitchen out the side of the house to the grill. There's a shut off valve outside and it's connected to the grill with a quick disconnect. I never looked back, never have to worry about running out gas, running to...

I've been using FreeCAD, which as it's name implies is a free CAD tool. I think I tried a few other CAD tools but decided to stick with FreeCAD at least until I can figure out what I am doing.

I noticed the LED portable work light is clearance at Menards. The website lists the clearance price as $24.99, which comes to $22.24 after the 11% rebate. This light looks identical to the Braun LED work light sold at Harbor Freight for $34.99...

Is it just me or has Harbor Freight cut back on the number of free items? I used to pick between 3 or 4 free coupon items when I went there. I just checked the www.hfqpdb.com and I only see 1 free coupon. Mark

I don't think they're very good on checking or enforcing the expiration dates. I've sent in some past the due date and they've always been accepted. Mark

Try cleaning the contacts on the pressure switch. My compressor started tripping the breaker and cleaning the contacts fixed the problem.

And they took my temperature before they would let me in the store last week. No contact forehead thermometer.

Do you have wifi in the shop? I have a Honeywell wifi thermostat (RTH6580). You can set up alerts for too low of temperature and too high. Mine sends me a text message when my shop is too cold. There's also an app for your phone so you can check and set the temperature remotely. Mark

Home Inventory app on my iMac. Keeps track of dates, s/n, value, pictures, warranty, etc. Also has a companion iPhone app that lets you enter information remotely.

It would go good with my functioning stop light.
