Only the top flange is attached as it is completely broken off from the pipe. The stopper and pipe below the basin is being held up by the p trap. I'll try your advise though and see if there is enough lip to press up from below with a screw driver after warming it.

Someone has asked me to fix one of their bathroom sinks. The flange on the drain pipe has broken and there is now no connection between the sink and plumbing. It appears to be attached with silicone. How would you remove it? Just the flange is attached. The drain stopper you see is being...

I installed a new ceiling fan a few weeks ago and it came with 8-32 screws to mount the fan. I asked on here about what code requires but didn't get an answer. It may fall under what the manufacturer specifies. I used my own 10s to mount. I agree with you that 10s should be used for fans...

I was weighting the 21 vs 30 degree nailer a few months ago. I wound up going 21 because of the full head nails being more easily available. I've got a m18 roofing nailer. It hasn't seen much use, but has worked perfectly.

I don't know anything about their scissors, but the razor blades they make are great.

Are the hard handles really that great? I've never tried one as I like the hi torque handle they offer.

I just installed a ceiling fan into a box that was rated for fans. The fan came with 8 32 screws to mount to the box, but I thought it was a requirement that a 10 32 was required. I used 10s instead of the supplied screws. It was a very light weight ceiling fan, so maybe it's okay at it's...

pancake air compressor, finish/brad nailers, nails/staples, hose, oil, and inflator for me.

I have both of the carts from Harbor Freight above and they are both solid choices. I would follow the crowd and go with the more expensive 4 drawer cart unless budget is a concern. Keep in mind that the 4 drawer has slots on the side of the top compartment for screwdrivers. That could...

I like simple blades that are easy to sharpen. 1095 and O1 for my fixed blades and I've been happy with AUS8 for a pocket knife. My brother recently gave me a 80CrV2 blade that needs to be handled, so I get to try it out when I have the time.

The above is correct. I used to make them and standard carbide woodworking tools will work fine. There are special bits and router bases you can use to splice in another piece or do a proper crack repair, but finding an exact material and epoxy match would be problematic. It would be far...

I was able to stretch out the spring a little and get it working acceptably.

I just got in my 1/2 nano socket ratchet wrench. The limpness in the flex is far beyond acceptable. Is there an easy way to stiffen it or should I just send it back?

It was marked 7.99 but rang up 5.79 locally. I grabbed the last can.

My wife's service dog waiting for the ok.

I got one of the pancake compressors and it has worked fine for the few times I've used it. No warranty though.

I grabbed one of the 1/2 Astro units. Thanks.

I once had a question about something and e-mailed the show. I soon got a reply from St. Roy himself. Class act right there.

Thanks! I grabbed a framing nailer.

I never use a guard either as it often gets in the way or can scratch what you're cutting---not having a riving knife is a no go for me though. The rest is just stupid and lazy. I'd kick them off my site if it was my call.
