    Help identifying which DeWalt 20v chargers work on 240V AC??

    Trying to buy a DeWalt 20V-max battery charger to use in New Zealand/Australia/UK. I've found some on eBay, but when I google the part number, it shows them as being 110V only (so the listing is wrong). I have seen Chinese knock off chargers that claim 110-240V, but am not sure how good/safe...

    Why will a dimmer work for some LED bulb fans and not others?

    I'll try to be brief. 1) I want to use something like this https://www.lowes.com/pd/Lutron-Maestro-300-Watt-Single-Pole-3-Way-White-Indoor-Touch-Combination-Dimmer-and-Fan-Control/50400244 for all the fans in my house. 2) Two fans have halogen bulbs, and it should be fine. 3) The other two...

    Help understanding welding tank markings

    I impulse purchased this from a garage sale of sorts. I have a Lincoln WeldPak 100HD (which I was given and need to get running, as it needs a new hose liner for $9 to get running) with gas attachments. The regulator fits this bottle etc. My questions are: 1) Is this a ''real'' welding bottle...

    Replace a recent-ish garage door opener with a new one?

    I'll try to be brief. Our house has a 1/2 hp screw drive door opener. It works fine, except I want the auto close and internet access that the newer openers have (heck, all I really want is auto close after 10 mins, as my wife and I have both left it open, and were lucky nothing was stolen)...

    Not sure how vintage, but older SK socket set I'm trying to identify

    Long story, but essentially I was given this set, but am thinking I'll clean it up and pass it on to the grandson of the original owner, rather than keeping it for myself. Questions are: 1) what year? (1970's?) 2) what sockets were included from the factory? i.e. is it missing any? Sockets in...

    1/2 gas line in new house, switch dryer to electric or okay?

    A new house I'm moving into in two weeks, was built in 1972, and has a laundry room with an electric dryer, but a gas hot water heater. We have kept our old house's gas dryer when we moved. It is 2 years old, and is a nice $999 MSRP whirlpool. The rub is that the line coming from the wall to...

    Mid Century Modern Garages - Images of what's possible and how to do garage doors?

    Good afternoon. I'm in the process of buying a mid century modern house, which has an attached two car garage. It's original 1971 with no sheetrock or insulation on the walls or ceiling. My plan, over the next 12 - 24 months, is to: 1) grind back the floors and do a 100% solids epoxy like those...

    Spray paint color match for Makita green and Park Tool USA blue?

    I have been given a nice old Makita table saw. The current version sold by home depot is $650, so it's pretty good quality for my uses. I want to repaint the frame, and clean it up. It's the darker makita green (picture of a similar one below). Can anyone recommend an off the shelf (i.e. <$10)...
