I have and like the Lisle versions. I did manage to gorilla grip and break a brittle Ford alternator connector with one yesterday. I still use my fingers or a pick more often...

I appreciate your reply. I've been using a Wagner "Paint Eater" on my 105 year old cedar sided house for years, was considering one of these for stripping paint to add to arsenal. paint eater

10-30 years. Quality defiantly varies, a lot.

I was just a "little guy" seller. eBay *****, and has sucked for small sellers about the past 10 years. I still use often as a buyer, mostly no issues there...

Good thread. I tend to treat them as somewhat disposable. Most of my painting with a brush seems to be exterior work on older buildings. I buy cheaper brushes, wrap in a plastic bag when pausing, and toss when project is done. For interior work I roll what I can and use higher quality...

Leg has remained dead, at 0v since randomly working again one slightly warmer day. I have not touched wiring at meter at all, that's all I may do, perhaps with a piece of wood, carefully. I am convinced problem is underground. What are the chances voltage is "leaking" underground? Aka is...

Let us know how it works out! IIRC I paid a lot more to have my old main line camera inspected years ago, once.

I really wanted to keep what I had and maybe roll the dice again... Already shipped it back for a refund. Can't use one for awhile anyways due to other technical difficulties. :dunno: Maybe Amazon will keep shipping it out over and over? It would be nice if Warehouse could or would snap a...

Off work during daylight due to a funeral. Oddly enough, it looks like the power company lock was brittle or something and broke when a chunk of ice? contacted it... :headscrat Anyways took opportunity to take a quick pic:

I don't believe I've purchased any fake parts on RA, yet. I'm pretty sure I purchased a counterfeit oil control solenoid for my Lexus on eBay, years ago now. Box and labels looked like the real deal, OE Lexus or Toyota. Part itself looked like generic china, with no markings.

AFF underhoist stand Received today. This is the second time I've ordered this. First order was canceled months ago. I ended up buying one from Harbor Freight, no issues. Decided to try again. (was expecting some hardware to be missing, no biggie) Was shipped out quick. Re-box over beat...

I bought one of these from Radio Shack, before they went under. Good heat, always had issues with leaks. Snap-On (rebadged) has been a bit better. Usually reach for Matco rechargable, but its not hot enough 1/2 the time... Rebadged Power Probe?

I do not know, was trying to get some shut eye when they were here. It was late and they didn't spend much time... I will probably open lid and perhaps snap a pic this week if I get time. I am also curious. Don't call the PowCo police. :shocking:

Checked at lug and wire at lug, was at 0v via my cheapish handy multimeter today. Yesterday, was at 121.5-122v and all was working normal. Opposite feeder was and still is at 125v.

https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/220-and-110-circuit-intermittent.378915/ Kinda related thread. OP or Pow Co found corroded lugs. I may carefully try to wiggle connectors at meter when I can safely do so, just to try to eliminate a problem there. Otherwise, its gotta be a crappy...

I also find this odd? I will probably check meter connections myself, although I shouldn't have any reason do doubt power company techs. I don't believe there are any other accessible connections, aside from the shop panel itself. Connections are tidy and tight there. ???

Unfortunately I can't really run anything temporarily on the surface, as its mostly all my driveway. Snowplow literally scraped it off yesterday. My thoughts are to hopefully have "break" located late spring? Dig it up and inspect? If it can be repaired, great... If not, OK, will do...

Minnesota Power. Very unlikely that our previous power co. would have stopped by that quick. "Break" or problem spot is intermittent. Saturday, shop functioned as if nothing happened. I had 122v at problem leg, 125v on the other. Today, dead again (0v).

I've had the same cart for years; never lock it. Lots of **** hanging off lid. It has been solid overall.
