    Yeah guess I didn't think about putting a box underneath the switches. Might not look that great having an outlet mounted that high with an ac adapter plugged in but it's a straight shot through the wall from doorbell. The ac wart plug wire probably isn't long enough for mounting toward the...

    I have a 3-way wall switch inside my front door that maybe you wouldn't even call a 3-way. One switch controls a porch light, one switch controls a light inside the door, and the third switch controls a pair of lights on the front of my garage. This third switch is actually duplicated by another...

    Keter Folding Work Table - $39.99 @ Costco (YMMV)

    I see Jobmade models don't have the extended legs. I'm interested in a folding table to just cut stuff on or general purpose stuff. Do you think the Jobmade models would overall be a better table for this?

    Keter Folding Work Table - $39.99 @ Costco (YMMV)

    Thanks Todd for providing the pictures. Dang talk about confusing I can't tell if these Jobmade versions are supposed to be an improvement over the Original & EX or just different tables entirely.

    Extension Cord Reel

    Thought I'd post back in order to help anyone else looking for a cord reel. I ended up buying Menards Smart Electric brand on sale for $70 (regular price $80). Alert Stamping who supplies cord reels (among other things) to retailers to put their own name on it is the manufacturer. After...

    Extension Cord Reel

    30ft is plenty and colors don't matter guess I didn't notice the Craftsman was 14 gauge. I agree being flexible in cold weather like the menards one would be a big plus for me too.

    Extension Cord Reel

    Thanks for all the replies and explaining why it wouldn't be a good idea for me to use a 16/3 reel. I will go with a 12/3 reel do you see much differences in these where one would be recommended over the other... length is not an issue: ReelWorks Retractable Cord Reel — 40ft., 12/3 SJT Cord...

    Extension Cord Reel

    Well like I said I only use the compressor for airing up a tire so maybe runs for 5 minutes. I understand everyone would normally say always get the heavier cord but for my specific needs I was wondering if I could continue to use 16/3 without any issues. From what I've read the cheaper 12/3...

    Extension Cord Reel

    Guys I'm hoping you can provide some insight into what size of extension cord I should be using. I want to try a extension cord reel but don't know if I need a 12/3, 14/3, or 16/3. I don't need anything longer than 30' (just for my garage) and I also don't want to spend anymore than $80 at the...

    Help in purchasing new cordless drill

    Guys bear with me I know I was told to not overthink this but I don't buy a drill very often so I have some specific questions. I think I've narrowed it down to the Milwaukee M12 (2407-22) $110 w/tax and the Bosch PS32-02 $138 shipped (no tax). Both are 3/8", 12V and have similar torque 265 vs...

    Help in purchasing new cordless drill

    Thanks guys for all the great replies! I'm wondering if an 18V is really necessary since I'm used to an 9.6V unless I get a good deal on one? I live about 1.5 hrs from a big box store but as some have suggested I really need to go in and handle them to see the differences. What times during...
