Electrical supply houses sell SOOW cord for a lot cheaper then home depot. Last time I priced this out the cost savings of 240v home depot extension cords over premade was not enough. After pricing SOOW cord from an electrical supply house being 60% cheaper it made a lot more sense to DIY the...

I have a set of those. When replacing TREs I measure first. Then after replacement I measure again and match the first measurements. That way you don't need to worry about the vehicles weight on the suspension. I still take it to a real alignment place though. It's one of the few automotive...

Are you sure a NEMA 6-15 wont work? The model number is US-**** - I would bet the manufacturer made that model for the US market. There are a few 220v 60hz contries, but every piece of equipment that ive seen with a 60hz rating with a tag in english is made to run on 2-pole (single phase) 250v...

My advice is to search for the bulbs first. Sometimes its easier to get one style or the other. I recently installed ~500 double ended LED bulbs at work. I picked those because re-wiring was a lot easier.

This looks like it has the same tabs on the socket. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFM835T/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Might have to buy one of each for both the male and female cord ends though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J1XCNNR/?tag=atomicindus08-20

McMaster is where I would go for small quantities of bolts. Fastenal for large quantities. The fastener world is quite the rabbit hole, lots and lots of options.

In food manufacturing facilities we ran SOOW cord through cord grips (chinese finger trap type things) from boxes mounted to the ceiling. In our shop area we had a rope and pully setup with one end of the rope connected to the cord drop. This allowed us to pull the rope and raise the cord up...

Get a quote from Ingersoll Rand. When I quoted our 30horse they were the cheapest and it's been great.

I really like the Hyperikon lights I got from amazon. They are direct wire compatible. I've installed 500 bulbs at my work and re-wired every fixture. Eliminate the ballast and the lights will last a very very long time without maintenance. These are the ones I used. Looks like COVID has hurt...

For that price. Yes. However I use my 3/4 drive set as press tools more then anything.

Or the double ended male generator cords... you can buy those on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PDQ9QS2/?tag=atomicindus08-20

2 years is short. I just did a huge 400+ bulb LED retrofit at work. CRI is kinda low at 81 or so but I don't expect to touch the fixtures for another 5 years. The power company paid us $4 a bulb to install too. (commercial rebate) Not sure how they would hold up in temps that high. It's always...

McMaster does next day shipping on all their business accounts. Not sure if that's just business addresses since they don't really do the traditional account thing. I spent $30k there one year for the smallish food facility I bought parts for.

I work in the food industry so stainless is standard. Mcmaster and Fastenal have always been my sources. Galling is tricky too, you can't torque the piss out of stainless bolts like you do with steel.
