In my opinion.... Unless you plan to do tree work for a living, you really don't need the latest, greatest and shiniest tools on the market. The Harbor Freight corded pole saw absolutely kicks ***! I was skeptical myself but once I bought and used it, and now that I've loaned it out to...

Amazon is NOT the same as eBay. Both websites have third party sellers..... only one website actually sells products AS the seller on it's own website (Amazon) You really can NOT verify anything just be looking at the seller's name on eBay because anyone can create an account with ANY name...

If the duct is exposed in an unfinished basement and it can be easily removed.... just replace it with new. That's what I would do, anyway.

I don't think eBay is the best source for much other than Chinese widgets and/or used items! WAY too many scammers, spammers, and crooks on that site with no way to know exactly who you're buying from, and what you're actually buying. Half of the sellers on eBay have terrible return policies...

How many hours on the engine? Has it ever had an ignition system tune-up? Cap, rotor, wires, plugs, etc....

Seven years later and all the brick and mortar tool stores around me are still operating just the same as they were in 2017.

The POE cameras are connected to an NVR.... does your NVR have an HDMI port on the back for a monitor? If so, you can buy a cheap HDMI splitter, split the output signal, and connect a second monitor that you can leave on 24 hours per day if you like. An HDMI signal can be difficult to split...

Just for the record.... When I was a young kid, probably 12 years old, (probably 1985) I was adding a new telephone line into our new family room addition..... I was stripping live phone wires with my teeth. (which I had done a handful of times in the past) I never experienced any shock, until...

He's getting "soft starter" or "easy starter" confused with "hard starter" Soft starters use digital logic (for lack of a better term) to decrease the the amp spike and by controlling the amount of current allowed to be pulled by an electric motor and spreads it out over time. If you look at a...

1. Because they run at a lower engine RPM under light loads. (makes them much quieter) 2. They are enclosed an run much quieter than a typical open frame, non-inverter generator 3. They put out clean electricity so it won't hurt any sensitive electronics. Both my furnace and central A/C have...

No acid in this stuff. The active ingredient is Sodium hydroxide.... which apparently can be corrosive to aluminum in strong enough concentrations. I usually tend to mix it on the weak side. I bet less than 1% of my fins are even slightly bent. Of course the louvers on the A/C housing do a...

I use this stuff to clean my A/C unit once per summer. I bought a gallon of it at my local refrigeration supply house a mile from me and I've been using it for several years now.... One gallon will last me a long time. I mix it in a 10 dollar pump-up garden sprayer. It gives a nice foaming...

If you asked this question earlier in this thread, I must've missed it. I keep an extra (spare) contactor and capacitor on hand for my central A/C unit. I figure it's cheap insurance to keep those two inexpensive parts on hand. Not only to get me back up and running quickly if one of those...

I hate paying anyone to do work for me so I would've bought the part and fixed it myself. Any time I have to pay someone else (which is very rare) I always feel like I've been ripped off, regardless of how expensive it was. lolol.

You can buy SO cable by the foot at Home Depot.... At least at my local store, anyway. There is no minimum. You can buy as little as one foot if you would like.

According to the data plate, your A/C unit is rated to pull 109 amps on startup.... That is over 26000 watts at 240 volts. Your generator does not have a chance to START that compressor. I have the MicroAir "Easy Start" on my A/C unit and it works great. There are other brands of soft...

I recently purchased a 30 pond tank of Chemours/Dupont R134a from them. It was shipped quickly but UPS had a snag so it took 7 days instead of the usual 4 days to receive a package from California. If you look at their google business listing, they have pictures showing a large brick and...

If you're capable of installing the new coil into your existing sheet metal plenum (case) then just purchase the uncased. However, if your existing plenum is not exactly the correct size for the new coil, and you're not setup for making a new plenum from scratch (or changing the size of you're...

I was returning a rented internet modem back to the Xfinity/Comcast store near my house and the guy (kid) working the counter asked me who I was using for home telephone service. I said, "we still have an old land line from the phone company (which we don't, but I didn't want him trying to sell...

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? The answer can and will be different every time. It depends if your tongue is really wet, or fairly dry. It depends how rough your tongue is. It depends how much pressure you apply with your tongue on each lick. Etc, etc...
