One thing to look for no matter what you buy; I bought a Dewalt air hose reel and it came with a 3ish foot jumper to go from pipe to reel. The swivel fitting on the jumper had a tiny orifice inside that would greatly restrict airflow. So I cut it off and connected it with a full size hose...

I made something similar, but platforms not ramps. The ramp up would get in the way of getting under the vehicle, and if I want the front up I want the rear up also. I used 4 layers of 2x12's, 100% glued together and heavily screwed. The fronts were 24" long, the rears 30" to allow for wheel...

I've seen plenty here in southern Wisconsin. Holding up well since we love us a lot of rebar :) What I can't say is soil conditions that may be better for one type of construction over another.

I have the KRL 791 top box on the KRL 763 bottom. The KRL 791 top is only a 2 bay. When placed on the left side top of the 763 it matches the bays underneath perfectly, but will not fill the space above the door on the right side.

Is there a breaker size specified by the manufacture? Mine also had a 6-50 plug, but Miller said the machine required a 40amp breaker for it's protection. I went big with the wire because I wanted it to be a 50 amp circuit when I get a bigger machine. Just upgrade the breaker.

"They" say less is more. I say that if less is more, think of how much more more can be :)

Thanks to everyone for the information. Many points were brought I up didn't think about. My original ( and current plan ) is to run it until it died, since it's not a critical piece of equipment like the furnace and we can do without it for a week or so when it dies. This way we know we got...

Laugh it up. My wife has been out of work for over a year and a half with numerous health issues, the latest being cancer with the ensuing chemotherapy. So please, laugh it up when I say I wasn't looking to lay out this kind of money right now, even though I have it in the bank. I never said I...

We discussed that. Maybe it's so old it might be worth something to the manufacture. Like when Toyota used to show trucks with 300k - 400k miles on them in their adds.

Good evening! I have a Lennox residential central air unit that needs a new fan. We're pretty sure it's original to the house which is 1964. Worked good until the fan went out. The local HVAC technician that diagnosed it is reluctant to put a motor in it if they can get one. He thinks it's...

I bought the hole saw kit from Tools plus, and just got my free sawzall. Thanks to all of you that find these deals and post them for the rest of us. There are a number of items that I need but i wait for sales to come up to save the money unless I need it immediately. The deals that are shared...

Welcome from south central Wisconsin!

Price was 39.99 at my store. Looked again today the "new lower price" is 49.99. Seriously, it said new lower price.

Thanks guys, ordered 2 with free shipping. Around here they go for $30 each, and I just didn't want it for that price. But 2 for $20? Deal!

Wisconsin here too! Welcome!
