    It's not an arm but it's a hand - the "YellowThing". https://www.nomartirechanger.com/ac-yellowthing.html

    Torque wrench calibration check

    It sounds like you're looking for a zero dollar calibration solution? If so, I can't offer a solution. But if you're willing to spend about $25, you can buy this scale and calibrate the wrench yourself. And after you're done, you have a scale you can use for other purposes. I once used it to...

    Existing Heat Pump + New Wood Stove

    That will happen. Was hoping to educate myself just a bit before engaging them. Don't want to waste anyone's time. Yes, I have a two-stage 15kW heating element and when it gets down into the 20's and teens, it kicks on. Agreed, I know. I'm still relatively young and willing to do the work for...

    Existing Heat Pump + New Wood Stove

    Looking for some advice/input for my home, not the garage. Hope this is OK. My small attached garage is already sufficiently heated (7,500 W electric) and cooled (12,000 BTU). 2.5 story Colonial home. Total sq ft = 2500 (1000 1st floor, 1000 2nd floor and 500 3rd floor). Existing heat pump is...

    Dewalt 20V Chainsaw Oil Usage

    Be careful with comparing the prices of anything from 40 years go to today. It's sure to cause heart-attack-itus. "Make prices great again"

    Dewalt 20V Chainsaw Oil Usage

    I have an Stihl MS250 and the 1:1 of fuel/oil applies. On the Dewalt DCCS620, which I also have, is about 1:1 oil/5Ah battery. The Dewalt leaks and consumes way too much oil in my opinion.

    Gas Storage - Didn't take expansion into account!

    I have (6) 5 gallon jugs that I fill up about every 6 months with ethanol-free gas. I keep it in a climate controlled garage. Never any issues.

    Stihl homeowner vs. professional series chain saws

    I use a 20v Dewalt for the small stuff and I have access to (i.e. I can borrow) an MS250 when needed. Even though I don't need a gas chainsaw all that often, there have been times that I really could have used one on the spot and I didn't have one. I'll eventually get one and when I do, it'll...

    what kind of rock/gravel do I need to use for a parking pad that I will park my pickup truck on?

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned laying down geotextile fabric after the topsoil has been removed.

    Noco Genius 10

    No complains with my Deltran 'Battery Tender Plus'. Much cheaper but it's also only a low amp charger and maintainer - which I need and use more than a 5a or 10a charger.

    Plywood Delamination Issue/Fix

    I opted for option 2 - lay another floor over the existing floor. Garage is being delivered on Monday as planned which makes me happy because I can get my tractor out of the weather. Builder will come on-site at some point afterwards to lay down the new floor (about 10 sheets) over top of the...

    Plywood Delamination Issue/Fix

    Need some advice... I ordered a 14x32 pre-built garage with two 9x8 overhead doors about 6 weeks ago and I'm supposed to take delivery on Monday. I went and looked at it and I noticed 5 spots of delamination (?) on the 3/4" pressure treated plywood floor. They are not very noticeable but once...

    Battery Lighting for Garage

    I ordered a 14x32 pre-built garage that should be delivered in about 2 weeks. I will eventually run electric to it but until I do, I would like to have some temporary battery operated lighting - either 18650's or Dealt 20v since I have both on-hand. Just need some light so that I can see at...

    Solution for Home Depot Stuff On Upper Rack

    I do almost all of my pre-shopping online. I check price, availability, etc on websites from the comfort of my own home before I even think of going to the store. Depending on the item, I might buy online and pickup in store but certain things I want to pick out myself. Most of the time, it...

    Cell phone booster??

    It's been my experience that cell phone boosters can only boost the existing signal. Which means if you're starting out with poor/weak signal, the booster will boost poor/weak signal and it'll be useless.
