This past weekend I purchased a Omnipro 220 at a very good discount ($300 open box). I'm missing the 110V cord. I know I can order one, but I'm not patient. I'd like to piece one together, but don't want to screw up the wiring. Can anyone clue me in on the proper connection? Thanks.

So after running into a great deal on a 50 piece precision screwdriver set in the hot deals, I began to think about this... It goes something like this: Hello, My name is Dan. I'm a Screwdriver-holic." I've got a few Snap-on sets, small ones, big ones, green ones, yellow ones. I've got...

This could be a 2017 New Years resolution, or just a goal, but time has come for the next step in growing my shop capabilities. Some may remember my original thread detailing my detached Rocket Shop. The shop is a dedicated 24x24 structure fro various more technical work, but also basic...

I know this is probably a dumb question, but here it goes..... I bought a $7 metal cutting blade for my oscillating tool to cut thru some tough to get at 1/4" bolts. I got thru three of them before the blade was very shot. Was I expecting too much? Are these not designed for this use?

I beginning the rebuild process of my 1962 Airstream. The interior is held together with a few different sizes of flathead wood screws. While disassembling the cabinetry, I was amazed at the quality and strength of the screws. I'm cleaning and reusing as many as possible. Even when beating...

Per the mfgr: " REBEL TRUTH: Rebel is a true multi-process machine. Welders don’t want a machine that excels at MIG and is just okay when it comes to stick and TIG. They want – and need – the trifecta. That’s why we gave our engineers a challenge: Make a machine that runs MIG, stick, and TIG –...

Please note that I'm not "running" anything, only a grateful participant! I had a hard time getting my package purchased and mailed last year in the time allotted. I had a foreign person, and it took longer. If we backed up the "named getting" by a week, we would be able to take advantage of...

Not sure where this should go....... I'm currently working on a project requiring some carriage bolts. I was buying the lumber at lowes, so to save time, I went ahead and picked up some 3/8"x4" carriage bolts. These cost me about 80 cents each. I really didn't do the math, I wanted to get...

Last night I began the repair of a sanitary line in a basement. The 4" cast iron main stack has rotted out right at the floor line. I cut out the floor and discovered the stack has actual broken at a joint. Looks like I'm replacing about 6 feet with PVC. The existing cast iron I'm...

I've created a few threads about my search for a new house. I'm convinced the relator that is helping us thinks we are nuts. Our primary requirement is enough space for at least three Airstreams. Bonus points for an indoor spot. Oh, it should have a house also...... Well, Friday we hit a...

I routinely camp with my Honda 2000 generator. I've heard of folks "splicing" off of their vehicle gas tanks to refill their generators. I sure would love to try this. I drive a 1996 suburban 2500 with a 350 vortec. I would prefer not to have to drill into the tank to add hardware. I seem...

I'm looking to outfit my truck with a new small air compressor. Here are my desires: - 120V - Small as possible - 100 PSI min. and here's the big one: - must be able to run off a Honda 2000 (watt) generator I currently have a small sears compressor and a dewalt twin tank. Both are about...

I've got a somewhat unique problem. I have a 1 1/2 story house. Used to be single story, but a full length dormer was constructed upstairs. The original overhang still exists and is need of new roofing and some wood replacement. The problem I've got is that the overhang is directly above the...

So I did some basic searching and got very overwhelmed with answers, data, and information that I'm not sure what i read! As my Dad was a millwright, I'm almost ashamed to ask this. He taught me alot about home repair, plumbing, cars, and woodworking. When metal working time came, I think he...

Looks like Harbor Freight has released a Honda 2000 knock off for $499 msrp. Can't wait for a review! I'm not sure that's enough of a price drop from a honda to justify the gamble. Lot's of coin! Maybe during a sale it will be under $400...

I just had a hydraulic line made from what I believe is stainless steel come into my possession. It is dated 1969 from the aerospace industry. I did a quick search, but didn't have any luck finding an answer. What year was this type of line "invented"?

This past week a the membership of a community woodshop I'm a member of held their first official meeting at our new location. We recently sign a lease for a former post office. It is 3,000s.f. with 3 phase power. We are still setting up. A "soft opening" is set for November 15. Please feel...

It was mentioned in another thread. Black Friday is around the corner, and I'd love to drop another grand at Zoro if they offer 40% off. I've got a feeling Honda Generators will not be made available again, but I've got some thoughts on some other items. So what's on your Zoro wish list?
