    Quick Question for the Electricians

    What do you mean "ghost voltage"? It wasnt a couple of millivolts bouncing around, it was 46 V or so. I was reading elsewhere about "Unbalanced Neutrals". Could this be right? Seems like that would only affect 220 systems. But my knowledge is very basic.

    Quick Question for the Electricians

    Im in the process of installing a LED track light in an upstairs hallway. The older halogen unit burnt out at the transformer after about 10 years. The ceiling mount has the type of switch where you can control the on/off from both an upstairs and a downstairs wall switch. So, I removed the old...

    Car Hoist......Should I?...Can I?

    You need to cut and repour the support area for the lift. I went with a Mohawk A-7, 2 post and love it. It has an 8' post height, overhead crossover, but raises up the standard amount. Their spec for a repour calls for about a 3-4 foot by 10-12 foot (depending on the width you set the lift at)...

    Fender Roller, Eastwood or Other?

    Good deal if you need the "Large Wheel" size. The smaller Eastwood is still a lot more than ebay's.

    Fender Roller, Eastwood or Other?

    Ok, I bought a ebay roller. Looks fine, works fine. I can see no difference in the rollers or the way the frame is made compaired to the Eastwood for 2x the price. Im happy.

    Slab problem for two post lift

    Yes, thats about what I did for my Mohawk install. But it was 18" thick, rebar, and keyed. Probably way overkill, but I feel pretty safe when Im under a big car. I would not go with less than spec, what ever you do.

    Fender Roller, Eastwood or Other?

    Thats what it looks like. The only difference I can see in the pics is maybe different knob hardware.

    New to Garage doors, high-lift conversion questions

    I went through the same dilemma with my lift install. I dont know why its such an issue with installers, but 2 of three said they couldnt do it. The third did it without any issue. I think he used a larger radius bend. That Liftmaster model is what I have and I never thought I would say I love a...

    Fender Roller, Eastwood or Other?

    I have a project that requires a fender roller. The Eastwood roller seems to be the de facto top end roller. But flea bay has rollers that look exactly the same for 1/3 the price. I might use this for 3-4 projects. Has anyone bought the flea bay generic rollers? Any feedback? I know you get what...

    Impact socket set not made for power tools?

    If it is an impact socket set, how can it not be for power tools? What other impact tool is there besides a hammer? Sounds like lawyers doing the BS they do.

    Marking parking positions

    I use the laser pointer like in the link above. Works great. Just aim it at a convenient spot on the dash. Perfect every time.

    How to PROTECT that new epoxy floor. Do's & dont's?

    If you park in the same spot all the time hot tires will eventualy lift small patches of the epoxy. Park on some sort of pad if you can.
