In for (4) Tekton screwdriver sets and a mallet. :dunno: Thanks for the outlet 20% reminder.

Nice job. I would have also snapped that up. Time to paint!

They make neat little hole covers for shop doors. You can use a powered ventilator and vent out anywhere, even a side wall. Commercial ones are expensive. I have no ventilation at home shop yet. Doors and/or windows get opened as needed. Small engines, such as snowmobiles, not ideal running...

Yes, I have used an impact wrench to drive lag bolts and other hex head fasteners in wood at home, even torx screws. I typically do not.

I forgot about these! I believe a former employer had one I used to use and I think the old Mac Tools guy used to sell a few off the truck? I am pretty well set at work. Would love one of the shorter steps at home. I am local, may look into buying one if they are still selling.

Scotchloks are garbage for automotive wiring. They are only OK in the rust belt if you need to create wiring problems that I need to sort out for you, likely later, due to corrosion or a poor connection. Aftermarket copycats are even worse. Someone recently posted about their father using...

Gotta be snap-on hard handles for me OR maybe vintage Stanley rubber grip + wooden anything. With that being said, I will grab whatever I can hold onto. Likely, whatever is handy and might have the best biting bit, when I need a screwdriver. I tried to like Whitte/Matco but meh...

I wanted to update this year old thread, maybe it will help someone. Replacing the filters with less restrictive fiberglass mesh type and cleaning the blower cage seemed to completely eliminate the issue I was having. The furnace worked fine the rest of the heating season in '24. I did just...

I just had a significant amount of HVAC work done, including furnace replacement. I purposely went with "the little guy" and only called a few smaller local companies. Actually went with the highest bid, although not by much. Estimate was itemized somewhat, not just a number. Reasonable...

I have used plastic Rhino ramps without issues for years. You need to be somewhat **** about centering them on tire and try to keep the rubber feet clean. In my opinion, the plastic ones are safer than the cheap metal ones, especially on any sort of uneven ground. I like the beefy homemade...

Watch for deals. Bigger is better if you can handle a little extra bulk.

Following. I typically do nothing, but depending on the tool...

I bought one. I like vacuums. :lol: Still @ $100 guys

Great! Mostly GFCI is a PITA :lol:. If it saved you from further trouble it could save us. I get it.

I think changing tires on most things is a PITA. I would prefer to pay someone else, but almost always get stuck DIY and doing it for customers. Labor times for tire work are absolute ****.

Picked up parts on lunch break and ran over to fix after work. Wires are all copper. Only one leg was burned, I did have to cut wire back 1-2" to clean up. Seemed like there was potentially moisture in the outlet box? Socket scary melted and one leg of plug extremely corroded looking. I...

Tenants are young husband and wife. They are not overly fussy but obviously want working appliances. The house is actually nicer overall than the one I currently live in. :lol: Rent is cheap IMO for the area and property. They have some extra room. I bought and dropped off a basic used...

Asian Beetles. :eyecrazy:

I have one rental property, former home. Tenant said electric dryer quit, dead. Stated worked fine yesterday. I asked him to check the outlet if comfortable. One leg of the 220v outlet and plug is very melted. Outlet is directly below house breaker panel, concerning. I went through this...

Local Liquidator in a rented warehouse used to sell HF returns locally. Typically missing pieces or as-is. I still have some I purchased. Fast forward some years. Now we have a local HF and a former employer rents the space.
