Thanks SK

This looks like it should work. Looking at the diagram, I would only need one in line with the other existing switch? https://www.intermatic.com/-/media/inriver/6831-8214.ashx/EI400-Specifications-EN

Motion activation won't work. The switch at the bottom of the stairs faces the living room and would be tripped all the time when no-one is using the stairs. One to five minutes would be enough for the people in my house to go up or down the stairs without leaving that light on all day every day...

I have very limited knowledge of residential wiring. I'm trying to find a way to have countdown timer switches for a stairway light that has one switch downstairs and another upstairs. The switches I'm finding are single pole and not for three way applications. This is the type I was looking at...

Yes, I know the Purple K is BC. I keep it in the garage specifically for an engine fire or similar flammable liquid situation. I have an ABC nearby. I would love to get a 20lb Co2, but they are so expensive.

I bought a used Amerex 20lb high performance Purple K awhile ago. The gauge is still in the green, but getting close to the lower red zone. Should I get it recharged now and does it cost more to get Purple K serviced if it has not been discharged? Related question: I have a really old...

If you borrow a tool (or anything), return it in the same or better condition than how you received it. Give a firm handshake and look the other person in the eyes when you do it. I think of that one when I get a limp fish handshake from a man. The one lesson he didn't mean to teach was...

How does the price compare? I don't see it listed.

Re: Drill press, China or Tiwan made? If I had to chose, then Taiwan.

Thanks. I tried to send a PM and E-mail, but I'm not sure it worked. Nothing shows under "messages sent".

I bought a Snap-on QTS135 torque limiting screw driver off E-bay for $50. I saw new prices of $295, so given its unused appearance, it seemed like a good deal. I have been searching for an hour and can't find any type of user manual or instructions for it. I know how to adjust it, but wanted to...

Nothing wrong with buying stuff made in Vietnam if the quality is good. You won't be adding to the war chest used to run a government office tasked with hacking and stealing from American companies (China), or helping to fund development of weapons whose sole purpose is to sink American aircraft...

I upgraded from HF to a Jackson Halo X. It has more features and is/was USA made, but I still have a hard time seeing the puddle. I am a self-taught amateur, so I was wondering if anyone has direct experience with this helmet. I try to avoid Chinese made stuff because I just don't trust their...

I went from 21wide and 24.5 deep to 23 wide and 24.5 deep. It's way more useable with a '07 Mustang, '12 Impreza 5dr, and two big motorcycles in there. Everyone will tell you bigger is better, but I am very satisfied for what I have to put in there. With insulated walls, it heats up quick and...

My generic Chinese diamond plate "garage" thermos fell apart recently. I happened to look at a mug while killing time at a Turkey Hill convenience store and saw that it was made in the USA by Thermoserv. I told my wife who ordered a mug online for my birthday. I didn't mention it on my birthday...
