    Welder with arc fault breakers

    Yea it is an AFCI/GFCI combo as I don’t have any GFCI outlets on the house. I know this circuit is dedicated for all the outdoor receptacles, doesn’t share to anything inside. I removed the combo breaker from my garage already and put in a standard GFCI one, guess it’s time to do this one also.

    Welder with arc fault breakers

    As soon as I start to weld(miller in 120v mode), it trips my arc fault breaker. Only way to fix is put in a standard breaker? I usually have it connected 240v, but doing work outside and can only use 120v Not going to buy a generator for this.

    Trying to run a conduit under my driveway, using a water nozzle, no idea where the other end is!

    My driveway is 30ft across, I bought a water trench nozzle and attached to each end of the conduit. I guided it under the driveway what I thought was a straight line. But doesn’t seem to be the case. I have 36 feet that I passed under, but no sign of it on the other end. Is there anything to...

    Which battery charger/maintainer for constant load of about 2.5 amps

    Sorry looks like a mess, but I am running 24v (2-12v)lithium batteries to my fish pump. I have a power supply that runs them daily. The lithium batteries are wired to a battery charger so they are always fully charged. I have a special relay that I found that when power is lost to the main...

    Weed wackers

    I recently bought a M18 Milwaukee trimmer since have the batteries already. I have to say i am pretty impressed by how well it works. My only complaint is with a larger battery, it is heavy. I need to get a shoulder strap for it. Its nice not smelling like gas when im done cutting the yard...

    Considering moving my 2 post lift a few feet back, any tips to move

    When I installed my 2post asymmetric lift in my garage, I placed it so I could work on my full size truck. I find I work on cars 90% of the time and when I put those on the lift I don’t have much front clearance and a ton of clearance n the rear. I probably can move the lift around 3-4ft and...

    Adding a gable fan, do they work well?

    Garage gets fairly hot in the summer. Has anyone had any experience with Gable fans? I have 2 gable vents on opposite ends of my garage. Just curious how well they work. I do have a closed ceiling, so not sure if it will do much especially with a 16' ceiling, would think it has to pull air...

    Trickle chargers - Hung from the ceiling with a retractable reel?

    Pond pump at 330ft

    Just curious 330ft to the meter seems far, no circuit closer if you are only drawing 7 amps? I run for my fish tank a 24v dc pump, it flows quite a bit. If you could get away with low voltage, your wiring could be way less. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XCRBQV2/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Can’t figure this out, gfci outlet and other outlets have no power

    We’ll update, not sure why. Manually tripped the gfci on the island and reset it, then the other gfci got power. No idea how they have the house wired. Odd cause the island circuit was working. Kinda puzzled why this fixed it.

    Can’t figure this out, gfci outlet and other outlets have no power

    Was helping a friend, his kitchen circuit for the outlets stopped working. About 6 outlets with no power. No breakers tripped. The gfci won’t reset. Pulled the gfci out and there is no voltage. Checked power at the breakers and all have power feeding out. Not sure what else to check...

    Maybe I shouldn’t buy cheap tools

    Well the left one is the one marked 36mm, so definitely shouldn’t be bigger than the right one :)

    Maybe I shouldn’t buy cheap tools

    Took some calipers to them, they are the same. Also the 36mm nut I have just slips around inside. Had another non impact 36mm socket and it fits the nut.
