    Cherry picker/engine hoist caster replacement/upgrades

    I had a very nice cherry picker many moons ago. I didn't use it for years, so I gave it to a friend. I recently realized having one again would be helpful to me. I was shocked at the price tag of new ones these days, so I found a used 6 wheel (all swivel), 2 ton on marketplace for a really good...

    Whole home reverse osmosis on a well/septic

    I am really glad that I made this post, it has definitely eased our worries quite a bit. We figured that since it seems that this is very common around this area and areas around this, it should be easily remedied with multiple options. Thank you for this. The AdEdge ones look easy enough to...

    Whole home reverse osmosis on a well/septic

    If we go with a reputable company, I sure would hope that they know what they're doing and would be able to tell us what we would need to filter this out. I can't imagine any company who actually cares about their reputation would not fix or try to fix their own mistake. I didn't mean give us a...

    Whole home reverse osmosis on a well/septic

    I just sent an email to the testing company and asked if they could tell me which one it was. Hoping they are able to provide this, if not we will have another test done with a company who is able to tell us. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the filter media and how often would you...

    Whole home reverse osmosis on a well/septic

    Thank you all a ton for your replies. This is a lot of info to take in and consider, and I'm very appreciative of that. I figured I'd get results from "run away" to "it's no big deal," with reasons which is also what I was expecting/hoping for. At this point, we have already put a $10k deposit...

    Whole home reverse osmosis on a well/septic

    Thank you for all of this. I did hear/read that they create a lot of waste water as a byproduct, but I did not realize it would be that much. That's important info to take into consideration, both from a well AND septic standpoint. All of this is very good info and I did not know most of this...

    Whole home reverse osmosis on a well/septic

    They did offer to put in an RO under the sink, but would refuse doing a whole home unit. We told them we were set on a whole home unit, and we would accept $1k in concessions to go towards the whole home unit. Some people we've talked to said that the arsenic is no big deal to bathe/shower in as...

    Whole home reverse osmosis on a well/septic

    We are approaching closing on a house that's on a well/septic/natural gas. Had the well tested, and it came back with ~3x more arsenic than the safe amount. We are pretty much dead set on a whole home RO, not just a point-of-use one. I will preface the rest of this by saying I know nothing about...

    Selling a ton of tools and miscellaneous items

    All prices are OBO. If you buy more than one thing, we can work out a cheaper deal. I will send pictures as requested, I have a ton of them so didn't want to clutter this up. This is all from me trying to make room and sell things I don't use any more and also I'm trying to help my father in-law...

    Topdon Phoenix Lite 2, safe to buy off of Ebay?

    Thank you for this. I will ask them if it's the US version or not. My guess is it's not due to the price but I'm not sure. I appreciate the input!

    Topdon Phoenix Lite 2, safe to buy off of Ebay?

    I'm pretty dead set on getting a Phoenix Lite 2 as I think it checks all of the boxes for what I'm looking for as a DIY. The ONLY thing I'm not sure of is if it will do crank relearns on 96-00 and early 00's GM trucks. Anyways, I see a lot of these listed for around $800 on a few different...

    Starrett Dial Indicators/parts

    I am trying to help a friend sell some of his old tools as he is no longer able to use them. Unfortunately, he's not very computer savvy so I've volunteered. Snug & rod (believe p/n PT22430) - Qty 7, $40 each 708B - Qty 1, $140 708A (individual) - Qty 12, $120 each 708A set - Qty 5, $170 each...

    Method/tool for cleaning rust from inside corners

    Love all of these replies. I see some smaller brushes online that might work but wanted to see what everyone else uses. A lot of my inside corners are smaller than a multi tool triangle bit but I'll definitely going to have to look into smaller brush bits.

    Method/tool for cleaning rust from inside corners

    I'm replacing a bunch of front end components on my plow truck. Last night when I was down there, I noticed my bump stop horn on the driver's side was pretty rusted and a bit mangled. I made some support plates so I can weld them in on Saturday. Figured I'd prep the area and clean the existing...
