    What I learned in Mini Split Installation

    That's excellent to know! I know for sure the drainage pipe can be swapped left and right since I've seen videos of people doing that, but normally all videos are of the unit's piping going straight out the back of the unit which is annoying that I can't find other installs..lol I think the...

    What I learned in Mini Split Installation

    I'm going to ask a really dumb question but I don't know, so hopefully I will know..lol In the picture of the OP the lineset is coming off to the right of the wall unit. Then it goes down. All wall units I have seen have always had the lineset go directly behind the unit so you don't see...

    How tough to install a 'non DIY' minisplit?

    So our AC/Furnaces are going to be replaced and while they were here I asked what a mini split would cost to put in the garage... I was floored when he quoted me a Mitsubishi unit and total cost/install was $8k. Seems a bit excessively high to me. After all the videos watching online it does...

    Best Wire Terminals Crimper Tool ?

    LOL, super nice! I'll take it off your hands. Please let me know what shipping would be and I can send funds. For some reason when I go to the classified section it states I have insufficient rights even though I've been a member here since 2010, I guess something has changed in 13 years? lol...

    Best Wire Terminals Crimper Tool ?

    I actually have a Paladin 8000 series crimper for networking rj45 stuff. It's the only one I use. I've been manually using a hand crimper for normal insulated terminals and it's fine but I just realized I can get dies for the 8000. What I am confused about and mabe anyone can help me. Why do...

    Strut Spring Compressor

    Finally got to use the spring compressor tonight, took me a little time fiddling with it trying to figure out the best way to make the spring go down straight down just because it isn't a perfectly vertical spring. But then after that it literally took me two or three minutes to do the other...

    Strut Spring Compressor

    Well it arrived. I was slightly nervous because I could hear things moving around in the box. Luckily only just a minor chip here and there on the red piece that I can touch up with paint. Total assembly time was maybe 5 minutes. I spent more time cleaning up the little bits of styrofoam...

    Strut Spring Compressor

    I just bought the SK3000. I should have it next week so I can post pictures and what not. It seems crazy at $600 but I am doing my daily solara with complete struts and springs (oem) and I'm also swapping springs on my CT. so it'll be used at least 6 times. I've used the janky spring...

    Water supply copper vs PEX vs PVC

    Thank you for this link! I want to run a hot and cold line into my garage probably from my laundry room's washer connect/pipe. I've never done this before and everyone kept recommending PEX... even though I thought it was not good. What I didn't realize is the connections and how things have...

    Shop towels sustainability

    I used to wash and clean shop towels but now it's way easier just to throw them out after they get oil or all messed up. The one gym I used to go to was actually very good about giving me towels they would have thrown out because they were washed x amount of times or there was a hole in them...

    Maxjax Installs: Post Here

    Very interesting on the flow control. So I'm going to ask dumb questions because I'd rather ask and do it right than assume and then have the car fall on me. With the flow control above you said to put it on the high side. What does that mean exactly? My pump is mounted on the wall, right...

    Best Electric Pressure Washer

    If you belong to autogeek.net forums of the average middle class garage group on FB, many people have their pictures of how they mounted the AR-630TTS to the wall and a mobile cart. I thought I wanted to mount the unit above the pressure hose reel but after finding some videos online I am...

    Best Electric Pressure Washer

    I'm looking at electric pressure washers now and found this thread. I would LOVE to spend money on a Kranzle but I just can't justify spending $1500+ for something that is going to only be used to wash cars. I have a costco gas pressure washer that I've been using with my foam cannon with zero...

    Why is pegboard so disappointing? Am I doing it wrong?

    I'm not a fan of pegboard at all but I did use it in my basement in my modding room. No way I'd use it in a shop or garage... things would just get too dusty/dirty all the time, plus I don't want to look at the tools. It's way better in a drawer to me than hanging on the wall. With that said...

    Black & Decker Workmate

    I keep forgetting to check things like this online. I have a 3d printer and I still catching myself "buying" parts even though they are available to print. I gotta get out of that mindset...lol. Thank you for the reminder! Here is the one that has good reviews...

    Fence Project- The Neigbors Think I’m Nuts

    Close up it looks neat. Far away pictures it just looks like a dirty old fence to me. I think if there was some lightness to the darkness it wouldn't be as bad. Not my cup of tea but that's the beauty of everything, different strokes for different folks. Might look completely different in a...

    No suggestion but I found the straight up and straight down arrows! AWESOME!

    I am amazed that more sites don't have these two special features. When you are browsing the thread, on the lower right hand of the screen two arrows appear. Click the top one and it takes you to the very top of the page, click the bottom and it does it's thing. I know eBay has the up arrow...
