Hey Guys: I'm in the market for a 20v DeWalt Leaf Blower and I see there are several available from DeWalt, as well as a few Chinese knock-offs that use the DW battery. Any suggestions on which one to buy? My use will not be blowing leaves but a quick blow off of the shop floor and patio. I...

Hey Guys, I saw this at a training customer's shop and was intrigued by it. When driving a car onto the lift, the motion sensor detects motion and turns on a laser beam that shoots a stripe downward from the lift's crossbeam overhead. The laser shoots onto the hood and dashboard to allow the...

Hey Guys: I could use some advice here. I have a 3 door Kitchenaid (about 8-10 years old) that has the noisy hinge problem on the upper doors, it squeaks and pops whenever the doors are opened. Do you guys change the pivot bushings or just grease them? Also, my wife wants the door gaskets...

Hey Guys: I've got internet with a Netgear Mesh System model MK-63 router that I keep having trouble with, it consists of a main unit and two satellites. The main unit loses communication with the modem requiring reinstalling/updating the firmware to correct the problem. I'm moderately tech...

Wow, what can I say. I spent thousands there when I had the truck shop, but now I'm semi-retired and don't use/need much. I still have several stacks of their pull-out tray assortments of nuts, bolts, you name it, probably 40+ of them. I needed to fill up the flat washer trays and some other...

Hey Guys: My dorm fridge at the shop quit working and I just want to verify it's dead before tossing it. It was working fine up until the other day when it went warm. The compressor is warm to the touch (120+) and I unplugged it and let it cool down a few hours. I plugged it back in and the...

Hey Guys: I'm looking for a picnic table for our HOA to put in the park. Durability, ease of maintenance (in case of graffiti), SS fasteners, and recycled plastic material are some of the important features we'd like. This is the best we see so far, they're $900...

Hey Guys, I'm thinking I need a new water heater (duh!) as it quit making hot water. Upon quick inspection, it's leaking from a fitting above it too, so maybe I'm lucky it quit before flooding the basement. We think it's about 12 years old, it has a 2008 build date on it. Just two of us in the...

Hey Guys: I'm using a Verizon Jetpack for internet at the shop, mostly for my security system (Verizon Jetpack® 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi6620L). I'm surprised how well it works, but I'd like more range from the Jetpack. Can I use a repeater like this to extend my range...

Yes, guys, I did search and evidently I'm not using the correct term as I can't find what I want. Google isn't helping either. Our house is about 25 years old and has those stupid plastic outlet boxes where all of the 110v receptacles are. Some of them are stripped, I can handle those. A few...

I'm sorry guys, I've searched repeatedly with different terms and can't find any newer info about this, most of what I find is 3+ years old and I know that's not current. Anyway, I'm currently running a nice older receiver/amp from the 80's through some vintage speakers in the shop and it...

I did search without any luck. I keep several vehicles stored in the winter and I'm getting tired of pulling all of the rotors off and bead blasting them every spring. No, the rust doesn't go away by driving, I drove one almost 200 miles this week with wicked thumping and noisy brakes before...

OK furnace guys, I need help with this. I have a 25K overhead furnace model FE25 SN AYK66W7N20155 that has severe rust in the side panels. It has only been in use for 5 years- I bought it NOS. It was manufactured in 1999 but was stored in it's original crate (which I still have) unused in a...

I did a search and did not get any hits, surprisingly. There's tons of them on the market and I'm thinking of getting one. Has anyone bought one they're happy with? Thanks!

I'm helping a friend with this. I think it's a 3ph 10HP Quincy but I'm not sure. The only thing I'm sure of is that it is 3 phase. There are no tags at all on the motor or pump, and the tank tag will be worthless for the most part. Any info? Thanks!

My local supplier (Columbia Gas) is offering to lock in my gas price at .497/CCF through Sep '16. Doing research on this leads me to neverending documents and graphs that don't really answer my question. Is this something to do or not? I know forecasting gas prices is like forecasting the...

I'm getting conflicting info on what fits a KRL1003 for an extended end cabinet. My Snappy dealer says a KRL1011. A guy I know has a KR1011 (no L) for sale that looks correct but I haven't mounted it. Snap-On's tech support line says neither will work, the KRL1011 is too deep (by 2") and the...

Hey Guys: Who is using junkyard search engines? I use www.car-part.com and it's a great one, but are there other search engines? Man, are these things a time saver...... Thanks!

Hey Guys- We have a Matag PAV2300AWW about 15 years old. My wife keeps getting debris in the loads and we can't figure out it's origin. The pieces are about 2" long, have a hard inner surface and a soft feltlike outer suface, the felt is coming apart and getting all over the clothes when washed...

Hey Guys: I'm not a pro bodyman by any stretch of the imagination. I've shot dozens of gallons of Kirker urethane on trucks, trailers, and the like but not a lot of cars. I'm doing a restoration and shooting PPG DelFleet Essential ESSS single stage polyurethane for the first time, and it has a...
