Dewalt makes and adapter so you can use the 20volt batteries on your older 18 volt tools. ( 20v is really the same voltage as the 18 volt, but the physical configuration of the batteries' mating with the tool is different.) I have a few of the old 18volt tools I am fond of, and do not want to...

I do get mine on Amazon but am very careful about the vendor. I get mine from Peppy Products LLC. The include the Wago boxes( in larger quantities) the Wago instructions sheets, and all correct factory imprinted markings are on the connectors.

Thanks Terry!

That sounds like the most reasonable way to deal with this. Where is the benefit in using these small boxes.? Beats me!

These are circular boxes, just smaller in diameter than standardy used ones. Personally I don’t see the benefit of these over 4 inch round boxes.

Does not look like a type thatis substantial enough to handle a strain relief fitting when a hole is drilled in it.

I wanted to utilize simple plug in 4 foot ;eds, but in that small box an outlet cannot be mounted( also did not wnt to have to use a GFCI breaker). So, my choice at this point is to hard wire LED fixtures using a cover plate with 1/2" hole for a strain relief connector leading to the lighting...

Have not seen any PVC 3.5" cover plates ( solid) either.

If the box is non metallic and you put a metallic cover on it, I don't see why the code requirement would not require that metal cover to be bonded.

Not a circular drywall ring. These are actual ceiling type boxes ( non metal) that are only 3.5" in diameter. Never saw them before this house. To me with the lack of volume, there is no advantage other than cost perhaps over regular 4" standard ceiling boxes

The electrician who wired my house used the small 3.5" round ceiling boxes in the garage ceiling.( why they did not use conventional 4 inch boxes is beyond me). I want to hardwire LED fixtures and am looking for non-metal 3.5" cover plates with a 1/2" hole. I can find these in metal, but that...

If you decide to sell it on Fleabay, be sure to use the term "organic". It will bring a higher price! We have a guy nearby who has a small stand selling bundles of firewood. His sign states "Organic Firewood for sale" Makes me chuckle every time I see it!

Re: Anybody else not doing projects due to cost of lumber? Heck, now 3/4 ply is in the $60 range! I hope there is a correction coming soon and we can get back to reasonable pricing. But then again, I'm old enough to remember 8 ft studs costing 25 cents! :mad:

Last fall had a 32K mini-split installed with -15 degree heating capabilities( actual recommended size was a 24k unit, but I wanted more reserve). ( previously had a "Hot Dawg" style Reznor heater in previous workshop. The natural gas fired heater could bring temp up 10 degrees in 15 minutes. My...

Can't say if the Ebay item is a combination GFCI/AFCI . THe labeling doesn't indicate anything other than"Combination". Here is a link to the HD combination unit. www.homedepot.com/p/Eaton-BR-20-Amp-All-in-One-AF-GF-Breaker-BRN120A1CS/311720450
