    AC Dilemma

    I was away for work for a week, came home and was greeted by the most awful smell. I thought at first I forgot to throw the trash out before I left, turns out it was the smell of a moldy living room rug. While I was away the AC handler in my attic decided to clog up in the condensation drain...

    Miter Saw Not Cutting Fully Through Wood

    So this stumps me. Awhile back I picked up an older hitachi 10 inch sliding compound miter saw. The fences were broken partially so I replaced them, the handle busted off and fixed that and it needed a blade. It works awesome EXCEPT the very last 1/8 inch or so of whatever I am cutting is...

    Milwaukee P2 bits stripping screws

    anyone used the impact rated P2 bits they make? I bought a ton of them on sale sometime back and have been using them more and more lately. They STINK. I realized the profile is a bit narrow compared to other bits and they wind up stripping the screws pretty easily I guess cause of this. I was...

    Electric Fireplace? Can it heat a garage?

    So I recently purchased a home, the previous owner left a rather larger electric 120v fireplace. I really dont care for it but dont want to exactly toss it since it seems like it was expensive. Think it could heat a 2 car garage enough to make it livable in the winter? It hardly gets below 25F...

    Snap On TM831 Loose Flex Repair

    So this is an older design flex head. The ratchet mech works fine. My issue is the pivot joint at the flex seems a bit sloppy. It doesnt have a screw, but rather a pin and either after years of use (I got it used) it is worn away on the ratchet itself or the ratchet head as it has some slop...
