You'd be surprised how many guys would rather run the SD screws than hammer nails all day. We sell a lot of those.

I'm beginning to think it's just whatever someone has good Karma with. Like Ford vs. Chevy. Honda vs. Toro, etc. I wouldn't count on the Ryobi stuff if I was in the landscaping business, but it's fine for my yard.

This is a list of all the connectors and the SD screws they can use. https://www.strongtie.com/products/fastening-systems/technical-notes/sd-connector-screw-approved-connectors

No, those are not the right screws. Too big for the hangers. It will be the SD screws, not the SDS. Probably a #10 but it could be a #9. Do you know what the hanger number is? Or even the the size of the hanger? I can look it up for you. And the SD screws will either be 1-1/2 or 2-1/2"...

I know everybody has their preferences, and there is better stuff than the Ryobi but... I bought the Ryobi lawn stuff that has all the different attachments when it was all still corded stuff. When the corded head gave up after 18 years I went with the 40V power head because all the attachments...

I ended up buying the Honda HRX217VKA. I thought I would wait until I was actually able to put this to the test. We've been fairly dry here in Florida. So the grass wasn't that bad. Well, we finally started getting rain and the grass turned into a jungle. This lawn mower is awesome. Didn't even...

Everything is better with a puppy friend!

I guess there's something to be said for not having the latest and greatest furnace/hot water heater/A/C/whatever. Everything I have runs great on my dual fuel generators. I agree, the inverter gens are great. But there just seems to be too much more stuff that can go wrong with them. I'll stick...

I'm sorry for your loss. He can hang out with Trooper. I'm sure they'll have a lot in common and a lot of fun together.

Same box I bought my dad for Christmas many, many... many years ago. Got passed on to my nephew after my dad passed. My nephew is the only one with good hands and a smart head so I was pleased when he got it. Still makes me smile.

Then you could go with an ABU66Z. https://www.strongtie.com/retrofitpostbases_postbases/abu_base/p/abu The load tables are on the page in the link. But the uplift can be as high as 2475 lbs. You can use a wedge anchor or large diameter tapcon and not deal with the epoxy.

Wow, I just looked at the link for the one you posted on Amazon. That's really expensive. I thought our Simpson stuff was expensive...

If I understand this right, you want to sink the anchor in wet concrete? If so, Simpson has the CB66. https://www.strongtie.com/nonstandoffcolumnbases_columnbases/cb_base/p/cb It can be had in G90 galvanization (standard) or hot dipped, or even stainless. There's also the black powder coat...

Up until recently I tried something similar. But I just killed everything in the backyard, them mulched it. I wanted to do the ground cover thing like you. But I had two dogs, one of them being a small pony. He would have just trampled anything that resembled ground cover. He just recently...

I'm really hoping you're right. I cut it at 4 in the afternoon just so I knew it was as dry as it was going to get. Believe me, 4 pm in SW Florida on a sunny day is not the time you want to be cutting it. But that was the only time I could get through it and only have to clean out the deck 4 or...

In the process of trying to find somewhere, where I could walk in and buy a can, as opposed to having to order it online, I saw some were silicone based and some were graphite based. I don't know which one, if either is supposed to be better. I don't mow wet grass either. But with the Toro, I...

I ended up going with the HRX217VKA. https://powerequipment.honda.com/lawn-mowers/models/hrx217vka I have not used it to cut the grass yet. There's not much to cut right now. We're going through a bit of a dry spell as far as rain in SW Florida. But I have put oil and gas in it. I ran it for...

Well, as I said, I did the math and then proved it out in actual conditions. I also don't do exchanges, even on the 2 - 20 lb. tanks that I use specifically for the BBQ. You always get hosed on an exchange. As for the vaporization rate, which you are correct that it could be a problem for some...

Not sure what you mean by propane being good for short power failures. It depends on how much propane you have. And propane storage is whole lot less problematic than gasoline. Put the tanks somewhere and forget about them. Propane doesn't go bad. And it doesn't mess with my fuel systems. As far...

No need to rethink. I've done the math and it's proven out a few times in actual use. My big gen says it will get 5.5 hours out of a 20 lb tank at 50% load. I rounded down to 5 hours to be safe. That gets me 10 hours out of a 40 lb tank. 6 - 40lb = 60 hours. I also have 6 - 20 lb tanks. That's...
