    chair or seat ideas for garage/workshop beer drinking/admiring?

    I have a Land Cruiser I'm fixing up and as with most older vehicles the driver's seat was rough but the passenger seat was in good shape. I found an office chair that was worn out at work and took the base off. Then got some 3/4" square tubing and fabbed up a little bracket. It's so comfortable...

    Proto 1-1/4" 6-Point 3/4" Drive Shallow Impact Sockets

    These are brand new and I have two of them. This is less than half of what they normally go for, so I will have to charge shipping. They are really light though so that shouldn't be much at all. If you're in Houston, and can come pick them up, I am across the street from IAH.

    running over heavy elec cord

    We use these out on drilling rigs because they are always moving from one location to the next. So they are cheaper than trenching and then digging up the wire for that application. They also work on concrete. They are really expensive though.

    Having Some Wiring Trouble

    Sorry, I meant to say I hooked red to the bare wire when I first hooked it up. It looks like I just need to call Sears and get the guy out to see about fixing the oven. Also I did pull the back metal panel off to see if there was anything that looked burnt or "smoked" and everything looks just...

    Having Some Wiring Trouble

    I don't have a way to test them together right now but I just got 120v from the black and the white out of the wall. I just touched the exposed black wire with my red probe and the ground. Then did the same for the white. I'm going to see if I can narrow down with breaker it is.

    Having Some Wiring Trouble

    Yes. It had a microwave and an oven there before. I will go get my meter and see if it has power to the wires. No idea why I didn't do that before.

    Having Some Wiring Trouble

    There is no red wire coming from the wall. I checked the fuses on my circuit breaker and none were tripped. I assume when you say blew a fuse you mean on my home's electrical panel? Unfortunately the previous owner didn't mark them at all so I'm still trying to figure out what powers what. So...

    Having Some Wiring Trouble

    I sure hope someone here can help me as I have family coming in for Thanksgiving and this was supposed to be a simple install. I'm replacing an oven and I pulled the old one out last night while I had some help to lift it out. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to the wiring when I pulled it...

    who makes decent quality screwdrivers?

    OK I found our current coupon code. It's actually for all tools we have in our catalog (Wright, Williams, Proto, Irwin, Channellock, etc) and it's 10% off the total order. The Wright 9476 10 piece set I talked about earlier is listed for $62.69 so it would be $56.42 with the coupon code. I...

    Lowes Experience. "Hassle Free."

    They sell Channellock, Irwin, Bosch, and probably a few other good brands I'm forgetting. I'd take the store credit and just get something you need. Heck they sell toilet paper. Everyone needs that!

    GearWrench in the future?

    LOL, like I said we don't sell much of their stuff at all so no plug intended. I just copied that from their site. I forgot to add before that their reps usually try to market the GearWrench line to distributors who sell to automotive mechanics. I'm not sure if it is still the case but it used...
