Seems like this should be an easy find but I'm not having any luck. I want to mount a duplex receptacle horizontally but have the slots in the same orientation as a normal vertical mount. I've seen pictures (see below) but have only found one from Cooper and it's about $40 w/shipping - of...

Maybe I'm hallucinating, but I seem to recall seeing tin snips that would cut 2 45 degree angles at the same time. Would give you perfect corners for a miter. For example, you could cut one leg of aluminum angle and then make a bend to get a nice clean corner. Anyone here that can confirm...

I need to replace the magnetron in my GE microwave. Some references say just short the capacitor to discharge it and others say to do a slow(er) discharge with a 150k ohm 25w resistor. I can't find a resistor in that size anywhere. What size (set in parallel or serial?) would be a good...

I have the Harbor Freight inspection camera. It actually worked well until the lens got pretty severely scratched. It's only about 5/16" diameter. Any suggestions for a scratch remover? I've heard toothpaste or a paste of baking soda work well. Was also considering the liquid polish like...

Emailed them to see if they'd match the $100 trade-in offer I got from Rockler on a DW Drill/Impact combo. They said no as they consider it a "rebate". Very disappointed in them..... May just make the drive to Rockler - which I was hoping to avoid. Their list price is $20 over HD ($249 vs...

We don't have gutters (2-story house) - they would totally ruin the look of the house as we have custom-cut rafter tails. I have a few strategic areas I would like to reduce hard runoff from. I was looking at the RainHandler (louvers) as an option. Has anyone had any experience, good or bad...

The other day, I was drilling out some rivets. Nothing too strenuous, not overloading it. All of a sudden, smoke and burning smell started out the back vents. Anyone else seen this? I'm hoping it is just brushes - haven't opened it up yet. I really like this drill (18v XRP) - sure hope it's...

Help out the local businessman. :rocker: Use your AMEX card at a participating small business this Saturday and get $10 back on a minimum $10 purchase. You have to register your card at the AMEX site ahead of time. Last year I did this to buy a tool at a local ACE hardware instead of a big...

Is it possible to add the first post date (thread create date) to the title in the thread list for each forum? I think it would be good info to see while scanning the list. Thanks.

Looking for ideas on how best to store layout tools. Steel rules up to 18", calipers, drafting squares, saddle squares, height/depth gauges, center finders, machinist squares, etc. I'm thinking of using a shallow drawer and, possibly, a half-height half-depth sliding tray on top. Hanging them...
