    On demand water heater and box in wrong place

    Box extender may solve the problem but junction boxes are not supposed to be hidden. I would guess one or two extenders would get you through the back into the cabinet. I've seen 2 or 3 stacked that way but don't know if its code approved. Strain relief on the heater appears to be a springy...

    Toolbox with a hutch?

    I use my rider and two bulk bins on top but I raised the entire roll cab and combination 6-8 higher off the floor. No head banging. Bench too much better level Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Matco Electronic Digital Rotor Gauge

    Dnschmidt. Yes I still measure both from a safe matching aspect ( if that's going to be done ) but it makes it a lot easier to sell replacements if you can actually show the customer printed throw away specs and what theirs are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Rickster. On the angle grinder situation. FYI. I HAD ONE FROM HF as well as a performax from Menards. Both had NO grease or oil in the gear train at all they are cheap gear trains to be sure but I experimentally put STP in both ( unsure about seals) but both still run reasonably well Sent from...

    Neat Video, Matco ratchets

    Caterpillar Tractor uses " spin welding to fuse two halves into one track roller guides also. Awesome to watch. Look up you tube videos of the show " How it's made " and you can see Snap-On screwdrivers, wrenches, tool boxes and sockets made. As with the Matco video it's surprising the...

    Snap On - USA?

    It used to be my understanding that at the very least, " Snap On " branded chrome and boxes were US or Canada built I also agree the "licensed" Snap on stuff at home centers may be of dubious quality. Gas pressure washer, led worklight and air hose reel I have are Chinese made but they do seem...

    OCD is killing me regarding LED's

    For a twelve foot ceiling or higher you need " high bay" types. Twelve foot is gonna be at the lower limit but good ones with 6 or 8. T-5 it T-8 will give you a sun tan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Double Vision? Nope, A Hillbilly moonshine coil and Twins (HF 60 Air Compressors).

    I like this idea but I'm doing one a little differently simply because I want to. No other reason. We are upgrading to a new furnace and central a/c because among other problems the "A" coil has a leak. So I'm gonna use the outside condenser assy and fan on the compressor discharge and the...

    Oil filter wrench... never used this type

    If you only do your own, get something that works for you. If your a mechanic out in the world it may take multiple styles to cover what you do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    circuit help question for the pros

    No problem buddy. Sometimes , oh heck much of the time, my mouth drops open and starts making sounds. No offense was intended but after I reread it did come out just a bit smart *** though. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Snap On Torque Wrench Problem

    So you bought a tool second hand and are aggravated by several answers that explain you may have to pay for a repair and then you complain you don't understand why it wouldn't be warranted and have never set foot on a truck but don't want to deal with them. Any of this information can be found...

    Ground Rod hook up in shop

    Subpanels of which there is no mention should NOT HAVE THE SUBPANEL bonding ( connecting ) screw joining the neutral bar and grounding bar in the sub panel. The only place that screw is used is the entrance panel. Very very generally speaking the " subpanel" ELECTRICAL ground should be through...

    What sheen of paint for ceiling?

    Think I found the reason my garage GFI breaker keeps tripping - It's me!

    Why don't you get a small "maintainer" and mount it by the battery and just plug it in "Genius" and "BatteryTender" are two good ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Metric-only tool set for the trunk

    The wrenches and sockets are pretty easy the metric screwdrivers and pliers are killers to find. But on the serious side a couple sizes of " JIS " screw drivers would be good. Japanese Industrial Standard. Look similar to a Phillips or Pozidrive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
