    Induction Tool to Break Rusted Fasteners Loose

    I think It’s supposed to be insulation to protect the copper wire from coming in contact with whatever metal being heated.

    Clear (acrylic) Sump Basin Cover?

    Let’s be honest there’s a certain amount of joy watching a sump pump empty out the sump pit

    Induction Tool to Break Rusted Fasteners Loose

    As much people like to buy stuff they rarely use, I’m surprised everyone who does have to deal with Rusty bolts doesn’t already have one.

    Need tall jack stands, 12 ton or HF new badlands offroad stands?

    Minimum height is only 3/4" difference, so hardly a factor. Black only, or a multitude of colors? :dunno: Otherwise if you're considering buying something heavy, sure go big.

    New ICON coolant pressure tester

    Break out another Benjamin for the pressure unit and for $500, have a functionally compatible set of the Snap On at $1700. HF seems to do pretty good job of gauging what products their customers' might want to buy. :dunno:

    Attic temperatures

    No doubt. Sound's like workers didn't do both the insulation and the roof install right. Need the soffit vents clear for "convection" air flow out the ridge vents (if they were actually installed properly).

    New ICON coolant pressure tester

    Might just be me, but $400 for icon and especially $1200 for snap on seems pretty pretty “pricey”as well, for some metal adapters and a hand air pump. For DIY there is always the Pittsburgh set. I have it only use it a couple times. It worked great on the Silverado, but I had a hard time...

    Eklind Is Closing Its IL Plant

    We may have different definitions on what the "Midwest" is since AFIK includes the Dakotas, Kansas and several other states not adjacent to IL. Probably doesn't matter for comparison anyway, since the demographics are so different. Chicago area alone is nearly 10 million people. Indianapolis...

    Eklind Is Closing Its IL Plant

    I appreciate your well thought out personal slam, but I did not type one word regarding property tax rates and made no comparison at all between the two states which would be apples and oranges anyway. It’s Indiana property assessments have gone up, which believe it or not will raise people’s...

    Eklind Is Closing Its IL Plant

    Illinois vs "The Midwest" might be one of the more silly comparisons out there, IMO. :rolleyes2 Indiana has a housing shortages, but in metro areas of growth, which makes perfect sense. Our population of course is increasing in those areas, but dropping in rural areas, so presumably those...
