I'll get straight to the point and this should be fairly simple. 1) Is there such a thing as 3/8" hose but its only actually 1/4" in diameter inside? Everyone says get a 3/8" hose but I am assuming they are referring to the I.D of it actually being 3/8'? 2) Looking at getting V style high flow...

Looking to get myself a 3/8s impact for my hobby use in the garage for when I DIY on cars to just speed up the process of taking out fasteners. I have a 1/2" impact which works good for tires etc, but its just too bulky for the smaller stuff and even to maneuver it around can be a nightmare...

Is there a difference between which air hose is better on the two below types? I am by no means a heavy compressor user, sometimes I'll run my impact or wrench but thats about it. Type 1; PVC and Rubber Construction type, 3/8" Type 2; Unsure of the construction but its the one that's quite...

How difficult would it be to convert a 3phase unit heater to single phase? See pictures attached of wiring diagram for the heater - not even sure if this is possible? Unit in question is 3kW rated at 208V. Voltage available to me is 240V single phase. Keep in mind the reason I'm talking 208 &...

Hey guys, in the process of rewiring receptacles in my garage. My garage was fed by a single 15A feed from my house panel which fed the lights, garage door opener, 3 receptacles. Last weekend I installed a new 60A sub panel in there and converting stuff over. However I am leaving the 15A...

So I was surface mounting some receptacles in the garage and buddy lend me a bender. So I used it and bend myself a 'L' coming down into the box. However where the emt pops up into the ceiling is about 1-3/4" gap between wall and centre or conduit before it pops in so the conduit doesn't sit...

So I just installed a new 60A panel in my attached garage. The panel is recessed and I took 3- 1-1/4" conduits up to the attic space for circuit distribution. However after the fact the first set of receptacles I want to install, see the picture are pretty much right next to the panel but the...

So I've been working on this accent wall at the house, basically build a small bulkhead with 3 pot lights, moved a receptacle so the wires are hidden behind the TV. Recessed electric place in wall and then did tongue & grove stained boards. As I am approach completion I am putting up my last...

Looking to see what you all recommend fit silencing the unit down some? Putting it outside is not an option. The unit is oiled in fact and currently in the corner of the garage. Due to the limited space available I sort of have it snugged inside my shelving unit.

Hey Guys, Some wood and metal cabinets I want to hang in the garage. What's your guys' recommendation on hanging these on the wall with? I keep finding 3" long Wood Screws. But I am curious is this sufficient to hold it? One cabinet is 52" wide, 12" deep, 22" high (wood) The other 2 are; 36"...

So in the last couple of weeks I picked up 2 sets of wall cabinets for fairly cheap. First set was a white, plain old melamine cabinet thats about 5 feet wide, 2 high and 12" deep. No issue here, painted it black and just need to figure out to put this over the bench or back wall. The second...

No info in description, besides that its slow to build pressure. What do the experts say?

So I'm welding stuff here and there, still very amateur and my skills are not that good. However I had a few questions; 1- My welder is just a flux core, lower end unit. From some online reading most recommend changing out the supplied wire that came with the unit for some Lincoln NR- 211. So...

Guys that have a Rigid Impact driver, with no bit or trying to drive anything if you pull the trigger on the impact - does the unit click/hammer? Last week I had a bit break off in the socket, after finally dissembling the unit and removing the broken bit off I noticed now if I just pull the...

So the fing bit broke off inside my rigid impact driver. Before someone suggests to grab it with pliers, vice etc.. not possible as the thing is quite a ways down. I tried drilling it and it somewhat works but the issues is the bit actually spits down there so that's not working for me either...
