Thats what I was hopeing. I asked a guy I know from lowes when I bought the fans. He is an electrician. He told me to get the support, and was super rude about it. So yeah. Thanks for your imput! If it gets loose I can add the support

So I have an older home where all the electrical is ran in conduit. Been doing a lot of work to the home lately. Next up is removal of the old ceiling fans, and install of some matching ones that will push a bit more light. I noticed there was no additional support bar on the metal ceiling box...

Alright I just finished this project. The conduit is 3/4" inside diameter. I ended up running the wiring from the panel to the first bedroom light, then to the closet, then to the bathroom, the second bedroom, and hallway. Then I ran it down the wall into the switch for the hall light. Finally I...

i measured it and the conduit is 3/4"... is that bad? is the same all through the house. 12 gauge or 14 gauge.

the wiring is all 14 gauge single strand copper wire. House was built in 1965. Conduit is all 3/4". I have a pretty good idea of where the the wire splits to the cooler. I guess I'm just curious if my idea is possible. Just find where the junction box is. disconnect the wiring going to the...

So I just finished the install in my new mastercool evaporative cooler. While wiring the new controler I found out that the same 15amp breaker the runs the cooler also handles the bathroom, hallway, and the 2 upstairs bedrooms. Thats a bit much. All my wiring is ran in conduit. Can anyone give...

Everyone says to get bigger units. For me. My kobalt 30 gallon does everyjob well. It runs all my air tools whether its a grinder or impact. Its portable so I can pull it to the backyard or take it to my buddies. All I can say is I highly recomend the Kobalt. Does not require 220, not overly...

Wow I pickep mine up for $8.54 and the 3/8" for $12.23... You ****! lol!!!!

New evaporative cooler any good Well I just bought my first house 7 months ago. It was built in 1965 and has a traditional style swamp cooler. I'm not sure when swampers first came out, so I'm not sure if the house came with it or was added years later. I know the swamper is at least 20 years...

well I remember always wanting to be with my dad. He worked weird hours and I didn't see him a whole lot. But when he was around I always wanted to spend time with him. I always admired him because he could fix anything. Not only that but I thought he was so cool with all his tools and big...

I think dewalt makes an oiled compressor that small. Buts its pricey. Looks at lowes. I think Cambell Hausfield makes a few smaller ones. I have 2 gallon oilless that has served me well for interior trim work and small jobs where I cant take my larger one.

More or less. I crawl under. Look at what I think I need. Enjoy tasty beverage. Grab 3 handfulls of tools. Toss them under the car. Crawl under. Find what I need. Toss the tools I wont use back out from under the car. Get back out. Put them away. Enjoy tasty beverage. Crawl back under. Remove...

My parents just picked one up. Seems to work well. Battery lasted longer then I thought it would. It can trim their medium sized yard without charging and still hasd some juice left. Its pretty light. I like the auto feed on the spool. All in all its not bad.

Only 22, but I still have every tool I got from when I was13-14. Have a nice 3/8" craftsman ratchet and socket set from the 60's, a craftsman tool kit from the late 80's, and a few poower tools I dont use. Just dont wanna get rid of them. I like having that stuff. I wanna keep it to someday hand...

Well I was looking at the meter and the mast head. It really looks straightforward. It has to be inspected though correct? I'm start to think I could do it after really looking at my setup. I know I can replace the panel, just not sure if it would all pass code. Thats what worries me.

Here is a pic of the panel. I guess the reason I dont want to replace the panel is in order to comply with the new code I need to upgrade the mast/masthead and that can get expensive from talking to my neighbors who have done this. Opinions?

So I just bought my house at the end of last year and am in need of more storage. So I am wanting to build a 18'x24' shed/workshop in my backyard. My plan is to run a subpanel out to the shed. However my main panel is a 125amp panel. Can I run a sub panel off the main panel? It appears as though...

I dont understand why the larger sockets come in 12 pt. Isn't 6 pt. stronger??? I dont understand Craftsman sometimes. Does So or SK have more in the 6pt. range? Ken

My thoughts.... Not sure. I roughly figured it up and what I want/ need would be around $230 for the larger sizes and the deep sockets I want. I just assumed somewhere would be a set of just the big sockets. I have bought a few sets for wrenches. Nothing for sockets.

I have all Craftsman sockets in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" sizes. I am missing the larger sizes in all three drive sizes. Mainly in 3/8" and 1/2" I am missing the most. Anything over 22mm in both sizes and bigger sizes in deep well sockets both sae and metric. I have only 12pt. in deep 1/2" drive...
