    Mower Battery Dead #@%&

    Got a new Interstate battery for my mower last year and now it's dead. My 3 year old grandson messed with the switch last fall and left it on but although weak it started to turn over so I had to jump it. We used it after that and it was fine but now it goes dead in less than a month ( twice...

    Decent Jump Starter under $100

    My BIL has I believe a Schumaker he got at Costco a few years ago and it's bailed me out a couple of times when I've had a weak battery on something or another on the farm.

    Is Amazon a reliable source to buy a Milwaukee Palm Router?

    Amazon has the Milwaukee 2723-20 Compact Router for $141.13 compared to $199 at Home Depot. I've never bought any Milwaukee tools off Amazon for fear of getting a returned or a refurbished tool. Surely there's a reason why it's $58 cheaper. Opinions?

    Are Propane Gas Detectors Reliable?

    Was planning to use about 30' of Proflex CSST in a crawl space to supply a gas fireplace but have heard of Lightning causing arcing problems with it. Now I'm leary of the stuff leaking and blowing the joint up. Bonding is supposed to help with arcing but lightning is so powerful that there are...

    Good Auto body Stud Welder

    The wind blew over a pick up box I had standing on end and put a fist sized dent in the bed rail. It's going to take a stud welder to fix it because there's no way to get a dolly or spoon behind the dent short of drilling out all the spotwelds. The Harbor freight stud welder doesnt sound like...
