    Harbor freight generators

    I'm looking at the 8750 as well, I've got a 5k generac now, but it bogs down when the fridge or freezer or FAU turn on and the electric start would be nice for when my wife needs to kick it on, and having the overhead should increase the refuel time to 8 hrs (I get 6 now if I'm lucky). Though...

    Silent air compressor?

    We use a little 8 gallon 1hp California Air Tools compressor on a touring "Brand Experience" trailer and when I set it out at the end of 10' of hose you can't hear it cycle. Granted it's on a busy street, not an otherwise quite garage. They run $170 at HD and it's plug & play. Though I...

    No cost Solar; Anyone tried it?

    Oh I wasn't going to get solar panels, just charge up off the grid at night then at what ever time they kick to the higher rate flip to the battery bank. I know that it's not cheeper, but so long as it's not way more expensive I'd rather not reward PG&E for forcing me to switch rate plans...

    No cost Solar; Anyone tried it?

    I live up in the woods, one look at my house on Google earth and they say no. The guys who wander the isles at Home Depot see me coming and hide now. I'm personally more interested working on is a battery bank. Now that our Power Co. Is going to push us on to a "time of day" rate plan, charge...

    Bucket Truck Rental

    If the Arborists are too pricey, I'd look at the trailer biased "cherry picker" since you won't need to invest in a harness like you would if you went with a "Condor" type lift. (unless you wanted to play human catapult) Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    good quality homeowner wheelbarrow

    Growing up my grandparents had 2 of these (a smallish one and a big one) and they spoiled me, every other wheelbarrow I've encountered was sub par. As a kid I drug these around their 8 acres of hill county with full loads of dirt, rocks, brush, it handled it all like a champ...

    Help Identifying Material Lift in Video

    You can rent them, we use them at work all the time. If the local equipment rental house doesn't carry them, call around to theatrical lightning/AV places. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Mystery Klein tool?

    True, the last time I used an F connector was when I hooked up my Tivo, but I'm guessing that in the next couple of years TV's won't have them any more ether as they become displays without tuners. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Mystery Klein tool?

    I'm not sure about the residential/construction side of thing but in the entertainment industry, anything that used to be an F connector is now ether BNC or become an RJ45. Though I personally prefer the stuff that's switched over to EtherCon. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Jobsite Backpacks, what say ye?

    Lots of guys at work have back packs and the ones who got the Milwaukee ones have all switched to ether the CLC or the AWP, it's probably slightly more AWP than CLC. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    3/8" cable swage tool

    There's a reason those 3 or 4 crimps are there, unless you have a really fancy pneumatic tool. http://www.nicopress.com/products/tool-products Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    What do the Pros use...

    Felcos, though mine look just like the kinpex in the picture. We use them all the time to fix cables folks try to cut with those bolt cutter looking things. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
