The supply chains for much of the electronic/electrical components have dried up over here and won't be coming back. For those types of parts (and consumer electronics) the Chinese, particularly in the Pearl River Delta, have mastered the art of mass production of electronic components and...

Another 44 won't do the trick. Some of the bender dies are 40-50# they'll eventually kill it again. This one is bender dies, grinders, Hole Hawg, Sawzall, magdrill. I've got a KRSC46, an older KRA road box and an older Classic 60. If I had more space in that part of the garage I'd consider...

I've highlighted the appropriate parts from my previous posts... Yes, I've called HF in Camarillo, given them the SKU of the box and was told, twice, that there were no replacement parts for that box. I got a while ago, nearly 10 years at this point when they were around $300. It held up as...

I've called a couple of times and was told no parts available.

Where are they getting these parts? I've got the 44 back when they were $300 that needs some love. Load the hell out of the drawers and after a while they won't close well or latch right. I've called, gone to the stores. Nothing. I'm a part time, one guy garage shop that still puts in 30-40...

That's what I was looking at before I got the FJ300. It's $500, I got the SO jack for $550 OTD off the truck. Shinn Fu makes both the Hein Warner and the FJ series jacks (and likely the Daytona as well). The one thing that steered me from the HW (other than the fact I had to wait a couple...

4: Will not have parts for service after the warranty expires

What a great project. Using a guide coat to see when the panels are flat so you don't sand through is going to be less expensive than a color contrast primer. Though if you need to prime again anyway it's a moot point. This is what I use, it's $30 or so...

Vegas has had some big HOA legal issues but mostly related to the liens and how they subjugate the primary lender. There was one high profile case that involved the actions of some people that ran several HOAs. It resulted in a suicide and one or two convictions. That's an outlier. In our...

Not any more. The market has largely recovered and there is now a new housing shortage and the used market is pretty depleted. About 9-10 years ago it was pretty scary.

CPO refurbs are my go-to when I need new power tools. The new prices are good as well. The warranty is shorter but with the big brands you get get replacement parts pretty easily.

We bought 10 years ago in LV proper. You couldn't get a new home in a development back then that didn't have an HOA and CC&Rs. Some had some pretty steep SIDS and LIDS. We looked at most of the big builders, Pardee, KB, Richmond and others. Most were pretty restrictive particularly in...
