    Anyone buy an M18 inflator ?

    I picked one up as a holiday special at Home Depot w/ two 5ah batteries. The auto pressure check feature seems to work really well. The TPMS in one of our vehicles does not indicate which tire is low. The screw-on chuck was a bit of a pain in the neck to use on all four tires, so I bought this...

    Stahlwille SF20/8 Offset Double-Ended Ring Spanner Set, Metric, 8 Pieces - $66

    That’s how my last shipment through DHL showed up. I purchased the 10 piece Stahlwille series 14 combination set from Amazon.de. Box had been crushed with one edge split from top to bottom. The wrenches were out of the Stahlwille packaging and loose in the shipping box. Only the 8mm was MIA. I...

    Stahlwille SF20/8 Offset Double-Ended Ring Spanner Set, Metric, 8 Pieces - $66

    My order shipped on the 25th. Prague to Leipzig to East Midlands. Left East Midlands on the 26th and is scheduled to arrive here on the 2nd. It was shipped DHL and I am a littler worried. The last shipment through DHL arrived in a busted box missing a wrench.

    Overhead doors .....long lead times.

    We ordered an overhead door at the end of May/beginning of June and was told 12 week lead time. It was installed a week ago. The installer told us there was a scheduled price increase in June, but since then, there have been two additional unscheduled price increases. He went on to say the same...

    Hazet or Stahlwille Wrenches?

    About two months ago I ordered the 10 piece Stahlwille series 14 from Amazon.de. They came in typical plastic tray packaging. Box arrived in really bad shape with the wrenches rattling around loose in the box. Surprisingly only the smallest, 8mm was missing. Rather than mess with returning the...

    Reusable desiccant pack

    I have a small indicator pack like that in the safe that I augment with a some silica gel packets from new products. When the pack indicates it is exhausted, I put all of them in the oven to reactivate.

    Water softener for car washing ?

    Same here as well. When we installed a softener in the old house, we installed a new hose bib from just after the softener as part of the install. The new hose bib was for washing cars and the existing hose bib, which was just after the meter, remained untreated and used for irrigation...

    Riprap for retaining wall?

    Riprap is a surface cover for erosion protection. It is not an earth retaining structure. Of course you could build a wall with the riprap stones, but then you would have a wall, not riprap. If the underlying soil is stable at the angle your proposing, then riprap could be used as the surface...

    Powerwashed floor wont dry

    Two months is a long time. Environmental conditions in winter are not ideal for evaporation. Start with a fan and/or dehumidifier to see if things dry up. If things do not improve quickly, moisture may be coming from the ground through the concrete. After it does dry, tape a piece of...
