I have a MAC TOOLS 1/2" drive digital Torque Wrench- model TWVA250FD. Its about 15-20 FT LBS off. Does anybody know the procedure for recalibrating this? I can send it off to MAC but dont really feel like paying $100 for them to recalibrate it, if it's a simple procedure. Does anybody have...

wanted to install a GFI outside my garage, but it kept tripping the upstream GFI that was first in the circuit. This is the circuit: The wires from the Panel box come into the first GFI outlet in the circuit, and attach to the "LINE" side of the GFI. I then have wires running from that...

Yes you're right. It is inadequate. I should have poured a long slab. I will be digging out and pouring new concrete in the middle of the two slabs I poured, essentially connecting the two slabs, making one long slab.

I'm sorry. My error. It is the A7 7k lb capacity not 9k. Sorry

Hey question for you. Did you have the concrete poured before you installed the lift? The reason I ask is do you have 2 separate pads that you poured or 1 long one? I poured 2 large separate pads (1 for each post) about 16" deep. I have the A7 7k lb capacity.

I'm installing a MoHawk 9klb 2 post lift, using the exact anchors the company says to use and above minimum requirments. Mohawk requires minimum of 3000 psi concrete (I used 4000 psi) at least 12" deep (Mine is 16") and enough space around the pad that the Anchors are at least 6" away from...

No this outlet connects to the main panel. How could 250v in a 250v outlet be on the high end, especially when each hot wire coming in has 125 (ish) volts? If its a 250v outlet isn't 250 volts normal? Also, it is a 3 prong outlet. The metal box itself should be grounded to the ground bar...

hey Everyone I have a question understanding the difference between 220 volt outlets and 240 volt outlets. I saw a video online of someone adding, as the video describes, 220 volt outlets to their shop. He opens the panel, and obviously by means of a double breaker, connects both hot poles...

This is a device that applies resistance to a coolant circuit in my car, to tell if the coolant gauge is working properly. The switch has three positions and Each position puts more resistance on the circuit. I see the Resistor but what are those 2 other black cylinders? I think they are...

Ahhh makes sense. Thanks alot

Hey quick question that maybe you AC guys can explain. Obviously when you're charging up an automotive AC system, it is accomplished by filling on the low side. The freon in the low side line comes from the evaporator as a low pressure gas back to the cars AC compressor. However, I noticed...

Ahh gotcha. Cant believe I didnt catch that. Sorry. I think I'll do that. I appreciate it

What is the 6-x0R receptacle you mentioned before? I tried researching it but couldn't find it. Thanks

Hey thanks for the reply. So that plug in the picture is the plug that my friend uses for the same plasma cutter that I am going to borrow. I asked him to send me a pic of the plug and outlet he uses for it and that's what he sent me. So now I'm having doubts on using it because of what you...
