Thank you. No calling out the person using, too many it's the same as swear words but, some of us are related to or with citizens from Asian countries and do grimace when such are used.

Yes, you would be looking for a cutoff wheel or cutoff blade. There are no teeth on them, they are usually black, and you need to but slowly and let the blade do the work. Also, it makes the material really hot so be careful.

For a first time circular saw user, get a cheap Skil. Not what they used to be but still the best affordable circular saw. Get a 7-1/4" and it will last until you out grow it. If your looking for a tablesaw, a used, older Craftsman can't be beat if you get a decent price. Also, my tool of...

You may also want to check the force of the springs. When I had to replace the springs in ours, I needed to weigh the door and get springs accordingly. Although you didn't add much weight with the insulation, if the old springs were right at their limit, you may have pushed them over the top...

In case ya miss it, here is the pic and a shot of the listing. Tool: Listing:

I've been waiting for Stuey's review on it. The double drive screwdriver seemed interesting but, more seasonal gimmick than anything. I worked with a guy this summer that loved the idea of the double drive screwdriver and he was a mechanic for 20+ years so I suppose it probably is a decent tool...

Thanks for sharing man. I've been keeping track of all my sockets since about the time I started on GJ (Thanks guys :P) I've got several Google Spreadsheet files that have various tools. The want list, the need list, etc... My problem was when I decided that I would branch out from Craftsman...

True that. For quick work, I use what's cheap. Got some Cooper spec grade recep's for a buck a piece. They're brown and NONE of my other receps are but I could care less. They always have **** plugged into. But, whenever possible, get Fed. Spec. Grade. We've ALL seen the residential/consumer...

@GShelton has it right. I think first you've got some terminology (wording) issues so I will reply with my assumptions of the correct wording. First, you have RG6 run through your walls. That *should* be okay. I've got D* and have it run to 3 different rooms from 1 receiver. (1 composite, 1...

Prices on them vary largely depending on a lot of factors. I found 20A receps for cheaper than 15 at Platt (sudo electrical supplier) but, that's dependent on the market and such. If you're curious: Leviton 15A 5262 recep @ $9.46 Leviton 20A 5362 recep @ $8.66 But, there's not much price...

Usually 15A and 20A are the same price from my experience. GOOD receptacles do have the same innards though. They are almost all rated for 20A feed-through too if you do end up with 15A receptacles. Depending on where you get them, sometimes 20A are even cheaper due to them being the most common...

Yellow example: Bridgeport yellow EMT fitting Bridgeport makes coloured EMT fittings. Not sure if they would be cost prohibitive though. Never seen the price of them. But, if you can get cheap powder coating anyway, you may want to go for that with most metal to ensure all components' colour...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leviton-5262-CR-Corrosion-Resistant-Duplex-Receptacle-/120699996362 And if you REALLY want the yellow outlets, may want to look at those. But, their Leviton which many sparky's have been disppointed by in the recent past Those are 15A (NEMA 5-15). I'm looking for the...

Also, As far as other items if you want yellow and green: Again, colored EMT http://www.alliedeg.us/index.php?P=TrueColorEMT (Either Green or Yellow. Green would be MUCH more obvious if it's off color from JD green though.) But, Recepticles: Hubbell; Colour | 15A | 20A Yellow HBL52CM62...

If you could suffice for Case IH colors, get Black receptacles and red boxes and red or black EMT. Raco has their '911' series boxes that should fit the bill. http://www.hubbell-raco.com/feat_item.aspx?feature=22 And both Allied and Wheatland have colored EMT. Remember, NEC doesn't have color...

Just filled out the survey too. Hopefully it comes in! Fingers crossed that we actually get them. Thanks for the great company support and info, Matt! THAT is solid business.

Bought some Craftsman sockets from him. The communication was great, Shipping was fast, and condition was better than expected (or described). I would defiantly buy gear from Paul again. Fair and honest guy.

Ahh, must be what I was thinking of then. I knew there was something screwie(?) about IA electrical when every electrician I talked to said something different...and rarely mentioned/referenced the NEC. Thanks for the input! I lightly knew the NEC wasn't a set-in-stone rule book but, didn't...
