I"ll try some of the Murphy soap. All I currently have is some purple cleaner. Just cleaning the painted metal is another option. I probably need to look for something to lay inside the drawers to prevent tools from sliding around. I have a couple other Kennedy tool boxes. One in great shape...

After looking around I felt for $100.00 not a bad deal. The previous owner upgraded his tool boxes and felt he no longer needed his old ones. No real damage just mainly grease and some wear. I need to lubricate the slides and try to clean off some of the impregnated grime Haven't yet decided...

Hmm, that's an idea a toilet tank. Thinking about water source I've had many experiences with water systems from good to poor water quality. I can remember back in the 50s and 60s water quality sometimes became an issue for city water systems where they seem to often have poorer water quality...

Yes I think at least some of that equipment could be used to create an automatic water feed / refill system. Basically any equipment needs to be able to isolate the pressurized city or well water from the gravity feed of the water dispenser. Most all water systems that supply water to more...

This is for drinking water and hot water to make soup, etc. There currently is no sink, I would need to bring water in on a line to a RV or wood shed , garage, work shop etc. (where the water dispenser is installed). The water dispenser also has a small frig. So it essentially supplies clean...

Connet a water dispenser bottle to water supply Hello, I use a top mounted hot and cold water dispenser with a 3 gallon bottle as it short enough to fit the water dispenser with bottle installed, underneath cub-bards. It provide hot and cold water. Since I live next a rural district water...

I have several Kennedy tool boxes I'm going to restore. However I'm not certain about what sort of paint to use and what sort of preparation work is required. The first one is brown and the top fold open with small compartments on either side. Is going to require some straightening of the main...

Link? I found this one on eBay for $62.64 with shipping and tax. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303304516229 Uses metal nozzle tips, uncertain how long the nozzles last. A courser sand removes rust faster but sanding is less fine than when using a finer sand.

I came across a wet sandblaster a couple of months ago for around $25.00 on a single website that had a 1/4 inch quick connect to connect the wet blaster to a pressure washer, but haven't been able to find the website since. I know there are wet blasters (designed to connect a a pressure...

I'm uncertain if I should remove and inspect the anode? I seem to remember reading removing and replacing the anode in older water heaters potentially cracks the ceramic inside the tank, due to rust build up? This is an older smart water heat pulled from a home that's going to be demolished...

That's the conclusion I've come to. Most of the older water heaters the total was adding the wattage of the elements. E.g. I just took a bath and shower using an older water heater 3500 watt lower and 3500 watt upper , total amps is 7000 watts plenty of hot water, close to 7000 watts to start...

Ok, well we're trying to connect it along with a washer and dryer so Julie can do her wash. We just finished installing a 200 amp main panel and a 200 amp sub-panel in a shed for the washer and dryer plus other shop equipment. This has been a long process, mainly 1. needed to upgrade the...

I'm uncertain of the total wattage, according to the label the water heater has two 4500 watt elements, one upper and one lower, and the total wattage = 4500 watts? (see previous message)

There are two elements an upper and lower label shows 4500 watts each. The label shows Upper Element - 4500 watts Lower Element - 4500 watts ---------------- Total 4500 watts This is what confusing, the water heater has 1 x upper element @ 4500 watts and 1 x lower element @ 4500 watts, why...

I have a 240 volts GE Smart Water Heater. GE50T6EA Specs shows it's a dual element Upper 4500 watts Lower 4500 watts --------------------- Total 4500 watts (uncertain why total shows 4500 watts since it's 2 x 4500 watts) Wire connections on top are a red wire and a black wire. The wire...
