Most of them get run the dish machine in whatever restaurant we are working in. But only if it is a hot water machine. If I have enough time, I put the tool box in, upside down.

As was posted earlier, Call a fire extinguisher service company. They should start with 10 # ABC extinguishers, at each exit. Then fill in the space between each FX, so each extinguisher is within 50 feet of each work station. I like to put a 5 # ABC on the welding carts. One 6 liter water...

You lost 100 PSI, from a starting pressure of 300 PSI and think the tank is safe for a working pressure of 175 PSI? You used a wet sprinkler gauge, with a max of 300 PSI, as a test gauge. Did you do an internal visual inspection before filling the tank w/water? Do you know the test pressure...

More on the Sirius Radio. Dear Doug, (we are very close friends, right) blah, blah, blah they renewed my account, "please pay the amount below to avoid disruption Blah, blah" I can call the automated number and give them my credit card! We are not that good of friends! Or log onto my account...

I have problems with small Phillips head sheet metal screws in commercial stoves. The grease gets into the X on the head and after the grease hardens, it is impossible to get out. I have tried dental picks. I have tried chisels to cut the head off and sometimes that works. I cannot use a...

I use Lennox, at present they seem to be the best, especially since most of my metal work is Stainless. Greenlee make the best slugbusters. Greenlee step bits are ****.

The do not have my card number. I have a problem trusting Sirius. For a while I had 3 radios with Sirius. The radios were the auxillary add-on that really did not work very well. I cancelled each one. After 5 years, Sirius finally took them off my subscription. They refused to take me of...

I often wipe down my tools, depending on how dirty they got. If I have time, and am so inclined, I may use the dishmachine. But only if it is a hot water machine, low temps are **** and do not clean tools very well. A bit of spray degreaser and the tools come clean. The hot water quickly...

When I built my garage, I laid it out using stakes driven into the ground. I then used more stakes to place the doors, the work bench, wood stove location, shelving for parts and tools, and a small room to recharge extinguishers. The recharge room got the same treatment. I placed small rocks...

I have to give Redman credit for asking a question as basic as that one. He made most of us smile and feel superior to at least one person today. Sounds like he is just starting learn how to repair stuff. Don't scare him off.

I use Ridgid tubing cutters. Cut part-way through the EMT, slam it against the work bench, ladder or anything else that does not belong to the customer. If you do it right, there is no need to ream the inside of the EMT.

I was going to add my nickels worth, but will suggest if you want to know, only read rlitman and plow. Fire extinguishers are sold by a rating system. A 5 # ABC dry chem is rated at 2A10BC. A 9# Halon is rated 1A10BC. A 15.5# Halotron is rated 2A10BC. The cost of a 2A10BC Halotron...

There have been several posts bashing Sears tools and the way Sears handles warrenty problems. I myself have expressed my displeasure about sears air compressor warrenty issues. But I believe when a company does the right thing, they should be congratulated. Sears does right by employees...

If you going to use the level on pipe or conduit, make sure the magnet has a groove. and make sure the magnet is rare earth. Otherwise, you will spend lots of time picking the tool off the floor.

I lost my wood framed shop to fire 25 years ago. I started the loss process by making a sketch of the shop, making notes of the large objects, like the wood working bench and the mechanical bench, lumber storage and the like. Then I moved to tool boxes, parts boxes and what was in each one...

I want to know where you go the money to open your shop. I would like to talk to them about an idea I have.

Another person who asked for and got advice, some good and some not so good. Come back in a couple of months and let us know what happened.

Or make sawdust or use spray paint or any aerosols or run a 2 stroke engine? A heat detector may be a better choice. A smoke detector implies a device wired to an alarm panel or sometimes a burg panel. Or are these devices smoke alarms?

You need to go to the building department first. Find out the code that claim they use. It will list the requirements for electrical, structural, fire suppression, type of building, zoning, all the stuff you don't want to do. Or you can just slide by and when a neighbor turns you in, you may...
