Hi, I’m topping my workbench with two sheets of 3/4" plywood, then some tempered hardboard on top. Two quick questions: 1. Does the thickness of the tempered hardboard matter? While it’s typically available in 1/8” and 3/16” thick, a local place also sells 1/4”...didn't know if thicker was...

Hi...I'm buying a new Ridgid shop vac, which comes with a 2.5" hose. I need to add a 10' extension hose, but it also needs to taper down to attach to my sanders. They have two options: A 1.25" hose, or a 1-7/8" hose. My question is: Would the 1.25" hose put too much stress on the motor and/or...

Hi...I have a very large workbench — 16' x 42" — and was curious if laminate flooring would be durable enough? I'd have a good 1.5" of plywood under it, but I simply have no experience with laminate flooring and didn't know how it would hold up. I don't do any welding and no chemicals, mostly...

Sorry...weird question: I have a DWE4120 angle grinder, and would like to put a non-Dewalt dust shroud on it. It "almost" fits perfectly, but is bumping into the female threaded thingy for the guard. My question is: Is it possible to remove the top/round piece highlighted in the photo below? It...

Hi...my prehistoric, non-smart Genie opener employs what I "believe" is their old/discontinued GIRU-1 Intellicode unit to communicate with remotes and keypads (which it does just fine, see left in pic below). My question is: Is there by any chance a wireless wall button that might work with...

Hi...I recently noticed the bend/angle in the J arm, and have since learned this isn’t typically attached to a punched angle strip like this...rather a proper operator bracket. Anyhow, the punched angle only offers an attachment point on one side…hence the arm angle. While it’s probably worked...
