Im not the one that suggested anything about dealing with Amazon

Im betting Amazon will not back a 3 yr battery warranty or a 5 yr tool warranty for a Kobalt product

Yet you can buy Milwaukee at Lowes or Home Depot. Is that also restricted?

First problem is the K&N oil used on filter. Dealership my son worked at wouldnt honor any induction related warranty if it had a K&N. Too many owners put excess oil in the filter,which pollutes the MAF.

I bought a Kobalt bare battery from Amazon. It was still in the package so didnt suspect a counterfeit. It goes bad on me while still having about 2 yrs left on the 3 yr warranty. I call the warranty dept and they denigh the claim,stating it has to be bought at a Lowes. This is the first Ive...

I too have had a lot of confined space entrys,just chose not to do as a welder. Hats off to you.

As a young pup I was taught thru journeyman advancement classes. A good friend who was certified as both an electrician and a pipefitter welder and I were talking about how many feathers we could put in our caps,and I mentioned confined space welding and the extra "feathers" it added to the hat...

Dont know if this applies here but on hardened metals as well as cast iron I was taught to peen the weld while it was cooling. Also covering in dry,clean sand to slow the cooling.

I bought 2 off CL for $35. I need to go shopping for more

OK thanks

I used my little battery DeWalt vacuum to **** a pull string in 1-1/4" about 250 ft quite impressed that I didnt need to drag the shop vac out.

We use the basket for a 275 gallon tote as our man basket

I guess from lack of response,no one here has used that $40 tracer. The Power Probe neighbor has doesnt do tracing. I havent been around when testing was in progress so dont know how he arrived at this. Im guessing its dk blue C1-12

the Lincoln you listed says its ER70S-6 not ER70S-7

I messed up it should have read I couldnt find ER70S-7 in small spools
