I am in Savannah so ice is not a problem. I am hearing that most of the brands are comparable and like the idea of going with the best service network. Thank you. Cummins service is everywhere but that is because of trucks and only one generator specific dealer 30 miles away. Not sure what...

We are going to get a 20 -22KW standby generator installed. Lots of options and dealers. Could purchase one direct and have a local contractor put it in, or could use a dealer to purchase and install. But first things first; what is the best brand for reliability and service? Are there any...

Very nice, absolutely complete! Be advised, I'm my experience it is not necessarily the tools that you carry, it's the spare parts.

Yes it is with incandescent bulbs, not CLF. It must be a defective dimmer. I did paint the dimmer as the wife wanted to have it match the walls, could that possibly have something to do with it?

I replaced a switch with a dimmer to a bathroom light. Two wires on the switch, two wires on the dimmer. Should be simple. Light turns on and full brightness with dimmer slide to the max. Try to slide for less light output and the light goes out. In other words the slide powers the light for...

Wow, quite the wrench site! So many different types, fun to browse.

I have a 5 drawer and like it a lot. Well built and the price is right. I use it to follow the race car. I move tools from the garage to the race trailer following the car. Works well carside at the track.

I am in hot and humid savannah ga. I insulated the garage doors and put a small whole house fan in the ceiling of the attached garage. The fan pulls from the garage into the attic space and exhausts out of the soffit. This clears out the hot air in the upper garage and attic space. It also...

I am getting ready to install a HR800 lift in 13x18 single bay. The manual calls for 11 feet clearance forward and 13 feet to the rear. Seems like overkill....why???

Not trying to hijack the thread but I am getting ready to install a HR800 lift in a small single bay. The manual calls for 11 feet clearance forward and 13 feet to the rear. Seems like overkill....why??? I am going to put this lift in a 13 by 18 space.

Not sure anyone has discussed the cost differences. Generalizing the prices, a two post is lets say around $2K and a four post can be about the same. However to make a 4 post complete you would need a jack package for an additional $1K.

In my opinion the above is the major 4 post advantage: potential to move it around. if you have limited space a two post is the way to go as a two post although permanent its footprint takes Much up less shop space

Why push the hot air down to exit. Why not use a gable or roof vent to move the hot air out. I opted to put a small whole house fan in my small garage to take the hot out of the top and bring the breeze from outside in. Because its a garage I do not have doors on Eric end thus no flow through...

Dont forget cutting the handle off of ball drivers. Work great in a drill to get it set, finish with something else.

My sound too easy but scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner works well. Spray it on and hose it off.
