The ARS extension pruners are for smaller trees. They might be a good tool to use for thinning out lower branches. Mine cut half inch soft wood pretty easily. The head pivots to get a good angle on the cut.

With tiles that are 2 feet long, you’d better have damn near perfectly flat concrete underneath or tile edges won’t be even and you’ll end up with unacceptable lippage. It is possible to compensate a bit with the thin set but be careful !

How far do you need to reach? I maintain a few trees on my little city lot. They are about 8-10 feet tall. I like ARS extension pruners. Mine is manul but they also offer battery operated ones for extended use or for people with handicaps. They come in different lengths. Mine is about 5 feet long.

(DIY electrician here) From my own personal experience, I would say only… “more than one”. But I felt a great deal of personal accomplishment when I finished a complicated multi bend 10 foot run and lifted it into place and it fit just right.

When I rewired my garage with exposed EMT, I went 100% with these boxes and covers. Junction boxes got blank covers of course. Even on the last box in a run I used them,

Ever try to plug in 2 wall warts into a single duplex receptacle? You might need to upgrade to double duplex in the future. You might want to add a switch in one of the boxes. Did anyone besides me consider adding a switch to be able to easily deenergize their garage door opener when you leave...

horse: Long ago I passed on a damaged 439 priced at $200. That is one of my few regrets in 12 year history of vise collecting.

Amazing! Parker 439 Does this friend scout out vises for you? Was this a gift? Did he do you a solid by letting you buy it from him for some small fraction of its worth?

Great work, Welcome to GJ. 😎

$100 for a 2C is a great deal. On a stand, of course it doesn’t have to swivel.

That’s not the first swivel base all welded up so it wouldn’t swivel. Here is a Reed 4C that another Bubba “fixed” I sold it off still all welded up. I never found a way to undo welds like this without making things even worse. I bought it rusty, stuck, missing handle and cheap.

As far as I know, that’s how it works. I itemize my tax deductions for state taxes (not federal) and I deduct what I donate to thrift stores. (Like household goods and old clothes) I estimate what the thrift store will sell them for and take that amount as a deduction. Clear out your storage and...

Yep! Based on the configuration of the jaw inserts and other clues, I concur. 😎 Looks very beat but possibly still useable. Not a reasonable restoration project.

I suppose the people who do that are the folk who live where they have hard well water. Whether or not it makes a difference in the long run is debatable.

Here is another example of why I LOVE it here on GJ.

Build a dam around all 4 sides and pour in clear liquid epoxy. 😎

Nice score! It’s amazing that your nearly 100 year old electric clock is still running. I used to have that same model same vintage clock on the wall above my workbench. It stopped running and those sealed up mechanisms are basically not repairable. I replaced it with a 30 year newer model GE...
