Many good points were made, but also realize that the faster you drain a battery, the lower its realized capacity is. For example if you have a 5 series, 18650, 18V pack and drain it at 10A, it will have less than half the realized capacity of a 5 series x 2 parallel, 18650 pack because cell...

I mentioned it previously but this one checks all my boxes, non-polished/plated, precise & strong, major brand made in USA, Wright Tool 31614 (if you only need 3/8 & 7/16") $21 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A1BNYJC/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Harry Epstein et al sell it too but by the time you add...

Yes their shipping is absurd, they want $15 to ship a single socket to me.

Agree with Black300zx. I generally find that the higher I want to lift, the more over-spec I want the jack to be. You're kind of all over the place, starting with wanting a 1.5-2 ton jack which is barely enough even if not high lift. IMO, even a higher quality jack if used at its limits, will...

^ Yeah the address tracks back to several scammer sites and a residential address. https://de-reviews.com/tag/mykola-topalo-20351-ne-halsey-st-fairview-oregon-97024/

I'm prefer Lemforder if you decide you only need the struts or will buy pieces separately. At only 114K miles, despite being a Dodge ;) it probably has a fair # of years left in it, unless the strut towers are rusting out. Otherwise, IMO KYB > Monroe but my main gripe with Monroe is they seem...

I always get the loaner tool from Autozone, why buy something if it's seldom used? I'm sure someone will say some other type is safer but it's not a perilous situation if you pay attention to having them on straight and tightening them evenly. It goes faster if you have an impact wrench or...

If you just want to throw money at it instead of labor, sure get the quickstrut type assemblies that include the spring and mount, but it's really not a big deal to just get the loaner tool from an auto parts store and replace only the strut. With the vehicle being 2007, many vehicles this age...

This is just a guy who pretends that contractors push their tools to failure, which is the exact opposite of what someone (like myself) who has worked a trade, does. When you work a trade, you buy what is cost effective, you recognize the limits of the tool and the last thing you do is try to...

Obviously not everywhere, but yeah, HD, Amazon, ebay, VIPOutlet, CPO, Direct Tools Outlet, RyobiDealfinders, etc, are quite a lot of options to buy them, at discount prices. I guarantee that I've gotten more performance per dollar than any other brand could provide, buying Ryobi bare tools from...

Who pictures motors with the stamping sideways?! ;) You could always try contacting them to ask. https://www.regalbeloit.com/manufacturer-part-cross-reference Both companies have been around a century, though the general construction reminds me of motors popular about 60 years ago...

Absolutely, Ryobi's ratchet form factor is a joke, but I don't find their battery format an issue on any of my other tools, on the contrary keeping it the same for so many years was one of the draws. I wouldn't say Ryobi tried to go too far upmarket, rather they're just hitting the mid-grade...

Meh, you're comparing older generations of tools to newer ones. Craftsman got better, Ryobi got better, etc. Craftsman's 20V line doesn't impress me much, though I have their 60V blower and what impressed me the most was how friggin' expensive a replacement battery is. Ryobi is hard to beat...

I'm fairly certain that this product does not charge the battery using USB, is only capable of powering/charging other USB connected things like a phone, though may also do that at a fairly low rate considering they didn't bother to mention the current capability. Maybe it can do 1A, that is a...

^ There are a few listings of those on Amazon as well, with fairly good 4+ star review average, and at least one seller, cheaper than that one on ebay. They both have an identical looking sticker on them so probably made in the same Chinese factory...

^ Then it's something wrong with the charger (in the design if not a component fault), that should have only made the problem worse otherwise. However I'm wondering if it's another possibility, that the weedwhacker current is high enough to heat the battery and the charger is rejecting it till...

^ Too deep a discharge can damage them which is why some chargers refuse to charge them if below a certain voltage. If you're stating this is some quirk of the C3 charger, that's a separate issue and doesn't apply to Li-Ion tool batteries or chargers in general. Normally the only thing that...

This Craftsman line is made by TTI who also makes Ryobi but Ryobi kept the same battery format while Craftsman made by TTI used to have a VERY similar battery (you could interchange them by trimming a plastic tab off), but at some point several years ago, either with the C3 line or prior to it...

Are you certain it is the trigger that failed? Have you taken it out and electrically tested, isolated that it it is the switch instead of the transistor on the separate metal slug attached to this assembly? That's a very useful thing to do because the transistor can be replaced separately, is...

Under-hood or exterior automotive work is one thing, where a larger wand style with a very broad beam is best, but for interior close quarters like under the dash as you mentioned, I find myself using my Nicron N9 more than anything else...
