    Need Replacement Generator Fuel Tank

    I have a Generac DP6500 portable generator that I need a replacement tank for. I've already checked ebay, but the center to center hole measurements don't line up with what I've got. The ebay prices are excellent in the $30-$35 range, and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $250 for a direct...

    Milwaukee M18 battery won't fully charge

    I've got this M12/M18 combo Milwaukee charger that works fine on all of my M12 & M18 batteries except for one M18 XC 5.0. The charge indicator light toggles between green/red soon after plugging the battery in. The light on the battery only shows 3 bars, which, to me, would indicate a cell...

    Socket to calibrate torque wrench

    I have an old Craftsman torque wrench that I'm trying to recalibrate. I'm trying to find an 11/16 (or 17mm) spark plug socket (the kind with a hex head on the end). The problem is that it can only have an outside socket diameter of 7/8", so it would be a very thin wall. The reason for this is...
