I manage a 14,000 foot warehouse and the inside work area is very dusty. No matter how much we vac or sweep the processing area, there is always lots of dust in the air. I located a furniture store in my area that is closing down, and they have a dust collectors they are selling. Below is a...

I have a compressor and it keeps kicking on so I knew it had a leak. As I got closer to the compressor to check for the leak I could hear a hissing sound coming from the PSI adjustment knob. I unscrewed the knob (which should have reduced the outgoing psi to zero) but when I removed the rubber...

At my work we inspect plastic parts and have to check for scratches or anything that could make the item look used in any way, and I was getting a hair cut last week and at the barber shop they had an 18" ring light, (circular light with the middle hollowed out) and its on a stand. I was going...

Hi, at my work, we have some pallet racking which we have to adjust the height of the beams. But this racking is very old, and about half of the pallet beams are held in place with steel rivets. I tried to drill the rivets out but none of the drill bits I have will drill into them. So I...

I was looking at some of the NOCO brand battery jumper boxes and I see they have several models with varying levels of amp hours. The main reason for purchasing is for general use at work (incase someones car dies- just to have on hand since we have about 10 employees) I also have a jetski which...

Hello, I purchased a 7" circular saw and I measured the distance at the top end (between the fence and where the blade starts), and also measured the distance at the bottom (between the fence and where the blade starts) and there is an offset of about 1/16". I was wondering if this is an...

Hi, I have a 1/4" drill that I like to use for small electronics, and I was wondering if anyone knows of an adapter so the screwdriver will accept smaller bits? The bits I am looking to use are the standard size mini bits that are included in most mini screw driver kits, such as the one below...

Hi I have a bunch of drones that have to be disassembled (we disassemble them and part them out) and I have tried many different drills, and a basic 4 volt screwdriver seems to be the perfect weight. However when removing screws, sometimes it takes up to 5 seconds to remove the screw because the...

Hi I was looking to buy a solar powered charger that I would be using to charge my ipad. I keep mine in my car and I would not mind just leaving the solar panel on my dash and just running a wire and connecting it to the ipad when the battery is half way down. I was looking on ebay and I found...

Hi I have a bag sealing machine (impulse sealer) and after lots of use the PTFE strip wears out due to the heat strip getting so hot and finally burning through I ordered some replacement PTFE strips but they have a sticky adhesive on the bottom. I was looking online and I found on amazon...

Hi, I purchased a utility cart and I realized that it would work better for me if all of the wheels had swivel casters. The unit comes stock with two six inch swivel rubber wheels, and two six inch fixed rubber wheels. I had four smaller rubber wheels with spinning casters laying around (4")...

Hi, I have several hepa air filtration systems (idylis models) running in my home and office to pick up dust floating in the air. They pick up lots, but the filters are very expensive, so to save money I vacuum them out and use them again. I understand it is better to replace them, but I believe...

Hi, I was wondering the correct way to apply the gasket paper and rtv silicone. Using it to fix a crank case gasket. I tried using just gasket paper but the oil leaked right out so I assume it also needs rtv. So would I apply the RTV sealer into the edge of the crack case cover then apply the...

Hi I have a 4 year old air compressor I originally got from harbor freight, and they no longer supply the gasket, but the original gasket failed. I tried to make one about a half year ago with ultra black RTV silicone gasket maker and after a few months it leaked. I wanted to redo the seal to...

Hi I purchased a 1350 gallons / hr. utility pump at my local hardware store. I put the pump in a bucket and attach a hose, then attach a spray handle to the end of the hose (which restricts the pumps water output flow). By doing that I can create a jet stream of whatever liqid is in the...

Hi I have a 2 HP air compressor that is several years old and it started leaking oil from the bottom of the crank case. In the photo below I drew an arrow where it accumulates, then the drip lands where I drew the X, which causes the oil to leak off the edge and onto the floor. The compressor...

Hi I do cell phone refurbishing and when I take a bunch of phones apart to refurbish them, I start by disassembling the entire phone and cleaning all the parts. Most parts are easy to clean, but one of the more difficult parts is the hinge (on flip phones). Typically I use an ultrasonic...

Hi I have two ultrasonic machines (each 3/4 gallon) and the first one came with a basket and the second did not. The baskets are like $50 each so I decided to try to make one out of stainless steel mesh. I managed to make one, it is not as nice looking as the factory one but it should do the...

Hi, I have a coworker who has a 32" fiber optic christmas tree / poinsettia and her mom gave it to her who has since passes away. She brings it to the office every year and she turned it on today and the bulb blew. Its about 10 years old and I cant find any info on it. I did however match the...
