    PSA: Kidde recalling MOST plastic handled fire extinguishers

    Re: Kiddie fire extinguisher recall I called a couple days after it started for my two recalled units. Four weeks later still no replacements, so called again and got someone who at least sounded interested. Been two weeks now, so I was wondering what was going on. Now I know.

    Scroll Saw v.s. Dremel ?

    I like my rotary tool as a sander/grinder for tight spaces and small areas on the project where I need to remove a lot of material fast and with relative control/precision. It's a nifty tool, and really good for crafts and odd jobs, but like James E, it mostly sits on the shelf compared to my...

    Makita vs Milwaukee cordless tools

    I like my Milwaukee M12 stuff for tight quarters, but my departed uncle in law used Makita tools for his commercial HVAC business. I don't think you'll go wrong with either, but it depends on what you need and the price point for what you're being going to buy. Milwaukee seems to have a lot more...

    Hide-A-Hose install!

    It's not 3/4", but this is the answer to your problem. I have two in 50', and after two seasons no issues. Bonus, they are super lightweight so dragging them around the yard is easy...

    Filter changing

    Anything above MERV 7 is pretty much a waste for residential use. I change mine every three months or so, depending on usage. If it's a very mild spring or fall with mostly the windows open, I'll extend the cycle, or decrease if it's running non-stop like in the summer months. Note: Just...

    Does anyone else make this Snap On tool?

    Ford has a heat shield over the upstream sensor which is very deep with the pigtail, and uses 22mm not 7/8". Cutting the wire isn't in the cards as it's my only car that runs currently. I'll give that Amazon one a try. It'll be a lot easier to return it if it doesn't work before I get crazy...

    Does anyone else make this Snap On tool?

    I found this thread looking for what you guys use. Seems a lot of you are getting stuff that won't fit on an O2 that's inside a heat shield like a wrench, and others are saying get 7/8" when O2 sensors are 22mm. Not a big difference until you round off the flats. Crow foot sockets **** for the...

    Post your acid stained floor!

    I've always been curious about this. About how much does something like this cost per sqft?

    The Grypmat

    Momma got the boy a rubber serving mat from one of those. It's a heavy, no-slip, flexible mat with built in three-course serving bowl/plate for little ones. It's really impressive.

    First Power tool recommendation for woman

    M12 for hand held power tools - I have a few for tight spots as my Ryobi are huge/heavy by comparison- and a good compound miter saw. I have a sliding 12" simply because I like being able to cut wider boards, something you'll find handy building benches. Mine is setup nicely in an old workmate...

    should i get an air compressor and tools?

    If you own your own house and have kids, a small compressor that can handle nail guns is awfully nice. As a DIY car guy, not so much. I use mine almost exclusively for tires and the blow gun. Let me put it another way, I just bought a battery powered impact wrench for working on the car. My...

    RIDGID Mobile Miter Saw Stand $99 free ship/store pick up

    I had that Delta one and returned it. Just wasn't very robust and was made with cheap metal. How does this Ridgid compare? It looks almost identical.

    Help me choose an electric hedge trimmer

    If you have Ryobi, their newest 18V is really impressive. I reviewed it on here if you want to search my posts. I've yet to use more than 25% of the battery doing all the shrubs in my yard. I'd say it's got at least an hour run time on the 4Ah batteries. It will also cut 1/2" with ease, and...
