    Changing hvac motor capacitors

    Diversitech are made in the US, that doesn't necessarily mean they are better. Many of the Chinese/Asian caps I've been told are filled with veggie oil, which is why they aren't lasting. Price gouging on parts is quite common here. Those guys that quote $50-$65 an hour labor often times charge...

    Iphone 4s in metal shops?

    Well dust masks help protect the lungs and the body also has built in defenses for dust too, nasal hair, snot, saliva, etc... Just seems the phone manufactures don't see a need to protect against this. Besides cars hobbies are additions to gearheads just like crack, even if it's going to kill...

    Iphone 4s in metal shops?

    Great one solution causes another issue, I'm half deaf from the same type of work! Maybe I need to just switch hobbies.

    Iphone 4s in metal shops?

    I've been through the same **** with about 10 Motorola bionics. Provider keeps replacing them under warranty and I'm not eligible for an upgrade for another year. I'm ready to buy my own but I don't want to buy a $300-$600 problem phone. I had a Droid X2 before for 2 years and never had this...

    2.5 car garage 672 sq ft A/C & heat

    The Fujitsu's are much less expensive than Mitsubishi's these mini splits are air source heat pumps and all of them I've installed didn't have a backup heat source like most of the PTAC through the wall heat pump units do. electrically they will require a 20-30 220v circuit to the condenser and...

    2.5 car garage 672 sq ft A/C & heat

    to touch futher on what Rick said. You have 2 "Do it yourself" options on dual mini splits: 1 condenser (outside) that serves 2 evaporators (inside) or 2 completely separate systems. 2 tons up 1.5 tons down. The separate systems will probably be a little less expensive as you have more choice of...

    Digital electronic torque wrenches?

    I've borrowed a buddies older tech100 3/8" before and I liked using it. I don't think it has the angle feature although I do torque a high percentage of torque to yield fasteners. I was really wondering how the others staked up to the Snap-on tech wrenches. I'm mainly interested in 15-100 foot...

    Digital electronic torque wrenches?

    I did some searching and what little I found was old info. So how do the digital torque wrenches available today compare Snapon, Gearwrench, Craftsman, Whatever is available off of the other tool trucks, etc... I'm in the market for one and I'm a hobbist working with LS engines and motorcycle...

    2.5 car garage 672 sq ft A/C & heat

    I'm a professional residential HVAC installer. I would recommend a mini-split HP system for easy installation and minimum impact on your floor space. Almost all HP systems require a backup heat source (strips or gas), as when the heat pump goes into defrost mode it will actually "turn on" the...
