Hey all, I'm trying to figure out what options I have to use a couple new generators I bought. Right now, when the power goes out at my house, I use a B&S 5500w non-inverter generator that I hook to a manual transfer switch with the typical 30a Reliance L14-30p on the back of my house using a...

Anyone have an extra rebuild kit, or know a part#, for a Proto 5450PBL? (One of the industrial finish 15" 1/2" drives) My brother thought it would be a good idea to use it as a hammer and broke off the selector lever. It was my 'go to' 1/2" ratchet. I see rebuild kits for the chrome 5450 with...

Could someone ID the pumps on this compressor? I have no info other than the picture. Thanks!

Walmart has some Honeywell ceiling fans on clearance. I've bought 3 from 3 different stores. So far, the Walmart app has been spot on for inventory. (I just search for "Ceiling fan" and browsed local stores.) One was on the shelf with the other fans, the other two were in special clearance...

A friend just offered this 80gal compressor to me for cheap, but I don't know what I'm looking at. I haven't seen it in person yet so I haven't heard it run. These are the only pictures I have of right now. (The motor was bad so he just tossed a smaller 110 / 220 on it for now.) Edit: I'm...

Hey Guys, I'm sure most know this, but if not, make sure you buy from an authorized dealer otherwise warranty starts from the date of manufacture. I bought my non-fuel M18 1/2" impact it in Feb '12 from Amazon, but it was made in 11-09, and Amazon is no longer an authorized dealer, so the...

(This was an email I was going to send to Mike, but decided to post it here instead.) Mike, I keep reading about Toptul, but I've yet to see anything, besides a few testimonials, that prove they're anything more than marketing hype. I'm really not sure of the best way to test, but I say if...

Hey guys, I've got an old Montgomery Wards 20,000 btu gas heater (NG- vent free) that's been in my garage since we moved here in '78. The house is a '58 so there's the timeline of it's age. Come fall / winter I normally just light it, turn it down low and it will keep the garage in the 50's...

Hey guys, I'm replacing some drywall on my garage ceiling and while it's easy to follow the joist to cut the old drywall out (with my sawzall,) I was just curious if they make a special tool to help cut that extra 3/4" off to expose half the 2x stud. (To have something to screw to.) Basically...

Ever since I borrowed a buddy's impact (that needed rebuilt) while doing the lift on our Rubicon I've been looking at impacts. I wanted the IR2135TiMax, but couldn't justify the price, so I was looking at pickling up a Nitrocat or Sk Pro Gun. A quick glance at Craigslist on Wednesday night...

I've got a 50 year old Montgomery Ward whole house fan that I was checking out while I was in the attic installing a bath fan and noticed one of the pillow blocks was beyond bad and chewing up the shaft. (Damn thing never has made any noise.) Not real sure where to start looking for this shaft...

Who made (makes?) these Popular Mechanics screwdrivers that Wal-mart used to sell? I bought these as a cheap "kitchen junk drawer" set and now 12-15 years later I still reach for the Phillips when I have a stubborn screw to deal with. They were allegedly made in the USA and have triangle...

I did a quick search and didn't feel like looking through a lot of the other posts to find the one where everyone was talking about this deal the last time it came up but. . . I got one of Harbor Freights coupon books in the mail the other day and inside it had the $299 coupon for the 90320...

I've had this SK 3/8" ratchet in my box for at least 15-20 years and I need to get it fixed. I did a quick look around SK's site, but didn't see these. I've wrote them, but in the mean time. . . Can someone clue me in about these, if they're not still making them that is. Thanks, Shawn
