    Hi, new member. Any thoughts or direction on this (I think 1947) WT DP?

    Nice thread title. I'm sure everybody knows WTF a WT DP is right away. No need to go digging thru pictures to figure it out.

    Water softener brine in Septic tank

    I built my house in 1991, and the water softener drain goes into the septic system along with the rest of the house. Have pumped the tank 2 or 3 times, and no problem ever found or seen.

    Question about using an Oxyacetylene torch outfit that has been sitting unused for 35 + years.

    Hey guys, I'm helping clean up my Dad's stuff after his passing. One item I have, my Dad bought an oxyacetylene torch setup at an estate auction in 1980. This makes me think the set is probably from the 1970s, or possibly earlier. I used to use it a lot, but have not touched it in probably 35...

    HELP! Questions on compressor drain thread bung oversizing!

    That's a lot of rust chunks for just a little "surface rust". I posted about what I found inside my compressor a year or so ago. It had rusted spots in the tank bottom where the metal was about half of the original thickness. Here's a link, if you haven't already seen it...

    Inspections are required to just make sure that the stuff being installed has met the MINIMUM standards of the building codes. Stuff can be code compliant and pass inspection. Even if it looks like ****. Which this job does.

    The Real Reason Craftsman Tools Are so Darned Popular

    One thing I don't like about the tool selection at HF. They sell sockets and wrenches in sets. If you just need or want one size, you don't have the option to purchase it. I know they have the replacement warranty, but that doesn't help if you just lose a wrench or a 10MM socket....

    The Real Reason Craftsman Tools Are so Darned Popular

    I grew up surrounded by old Craftsman tools of my Dad's, and he gave me my first tool box full of them when I was 14 years old and had my first old car to fix up. That was in the early 1970s. I was always a big fan of Craftsman, and looked down upon Japanese, Tiawanese, and Chinese **** tools...

    The Real Reason Craftsman Tools Are so Darned Popular

    It's easy to beat Amazon when you are in the middle of repairing a car and need a certain tool RIGHT NOW. And it's usually a vehicle that's needed the next day for work....

    The Real Reason Craftsman Tools Are so Darned Popular

    Trips to Sears for tools are no longer available. At least in my area. So, for quick trips to get a needed tool, Harbor Freight has pretty much kind of replaced it. You think there will one day be people collecting "vintage" HF tools? Hmmm....

    What tools did you get rid of today and why?

    Not today, but a couple of months ago. My really nice 18 volt DeWalt drill. I used it for several years, but finally both batteries died. After much research, I determined that DeWalt pretty had much killed their 18 volt line, and I had a choice of no-name batteries of unknown quality, OR very...
