    Layout for ductwork and register questions

    They only thing I would suggest is running your duct work in the ceiling and don't use flex line, instead use hard pipe and wrap everything. Using hard line makes it easier to clean everything out with brushes later on, granted you may never do that, also the wrap insulation can give you a...

    connecting romex- twist before wirenut?

    I agree, I dont twist solid wire, and depending on application I still wrap the wire nuts with tape. But I am a HVAC guy and you don't want to deal with call backs because something vibrated lose up in a ceiling in a movie theater.

    Should be called "Snap-ON Journal" instead of "Garage Journal"

    Why is it, that whenever anyone post a question on here about which tool they should buy, and then list a budget or requirements, the first thing everyone replies with is "Buy Snap-On". Now don't get me wrong, Snap-On does make some fantastic tools and from personal experience they have a...

    Is 1/8" steel too much for 115v welder? Mig or flux core?

    Its not if its 115 volt welder. Its how many amps the welder will do. Today you can go to almost any big box store and buy a 110/115 volt welder that will do up to 140 or 145 amps. I know for a fact that a you can buy a Lincoln 140 at Home Depot that will easily weld 1/8 plate steel and you...

    Gear Wrench Spline Drive- thoughts, experiences, boom! (gearwrench)

    Did you paint the sizes on the wrenches or did they come that way? If you painted them what did you use to paint it with, it looks sweet and I may do that to mine if it was pretty easy to do.

    Looking for a Scroll Saw?

    Hey guys. I am looking at buying a scroll saw, and was wondering what brand everyone preferred (SnapOn is not the best either). I was curious what everyone looked for in a saw setup, like motor size, speed, throat size. What options were important. Things they wish they could get in a saw...

    Thoughts on this Makita drill/impact set?

    I have both sets, the green and the black and white set. There is no difference between the two other than the battery size. As far as the set that is pictured they are not worth the 100.00 he is asking for them. you can get that set for 200 new and can always find them on sale for less...

    The Mac sockets are the extra deep 12pt 3/8 drive and the Craftsman sockets are late 70's 1/2 drive.
