thank you for the reply. i've seen plenty of wireless switches but it seems like they are more for small lamps and LED strips. i cant seem to find one that has a receiver that can handle the amperage of multiple lights. if i can find a wireless switch, it would have a receiver then power would...

so i think i've decided to go with those wafer lights but still need a way to control them. any ideas? i can get those new ones that have WIFI and allow you to control with your phone but i wont be the only one using this so something physical would be nice.

i have a 400A panel at my house. uses a huge GE breaker similar to the one below but setup for 1P. 4 hot 2 neutral. https://breakeroutlet.com/circuit-breakers/tjk436400wl-ge-400a-interchangeable-trip-circuit-breaker/

funny you mantion AL wiring. he was also having issues with tripping the A/C breaker. found out they replaced the breaker for some reason (old one was at the bottom of the panel and seemed fine) and the lugs were loose. also noticed they use AL for the condenser while everything else in the...

your right about that. so what else could be going on?

"cheap" is the conclusion we came up with after seeing a few other things throughout the house but you are right, this is a tract house and is to be expected. would have made more sense to spend the $10 to add 1 extra GFI in the garage and tie it into the bath that shares a wall and leave the...

wish i saw this post about 3 months ago. my brother in law put a new fridge in the garage of his new houses as a temp while remodeling was going on. the next day we find that its off. went through all sorts of troubleshooting and wire tracing to find out why this could be. there was no GFCI in...

hi, this is not exactly "garage" specific but was hoping someone could help. i just had a aluminum patio cover installed and wanted to add 3 flood lights to the front end of it to light up my back yard. any opinions on good flood lights and wattage? i have about a 60'x90' area to light up and...

thank you. that is the chemical the manufacture recommends but wanted to see if there was anything else out first since this one is about 3x the cost of any other chemical. how well does it work? ive never used it before.

hi, so i just picked up a new to me "SmartWasher". the guy told me he wasnt sure what chemical was in it but was most likely simple green. its very dirty so i need to replace it. any recommendations? i'm in CA so that makes it harder. this is for my home shop so it will only get used a few...

today was a great day but i had to work. i did get about 1 house to clean my transmission case. hopefully i can spend sunday putting it back together.

replaced the rear shocks on my truck and took apart my AR so i can replace the gas block.

a buddy of mine bought one and was very pleased with it. i will be getting one in the future. i'm like you, my projects take weeks haha.

this used to happen often at a shop i worked at. an air leak would cause the locks on one side not to disengage. we would bring it back up to level then hold the locks open with pry bars and ride it down. good times haha

they are nice and lite but i prefer steel. just dont tighten it with your whole body weight or drag it across your driveway and you should be fine. i have one with these fittings and i dont expect it to last forever but i also dont abuse it.

thank you guys for the replies. i would LOVE to replace my current vice with this one. not that there is anything wrong with my current vice, i havent had any issues with the type of work ive done with it but this reed is BEEFY to say the least. unfortunitally, i just dont think it would be very...

now thats cool.

i would love to have that option one day when i have a shop big enough for a lathe and mill.

thanks for the reply guys, dont know whey i didnt think of calling Reed. i thought about mounting it directly but there is a stud that sticks out of the bottom about 1". havent taken a good look at it but i might be able to cut it off but then the problem is that i will only be able to mount it...

hi guys, hoping a tool expert here can help me out. i found a Reed 2C at a yard sale for $25 which i thought was a great deal so i got it. bad thing is that it doesnt have the swivel base. anyone know where i can find one or maybe get a universal one that might fit? doesnt have to be Reed. thank you
