    DieHard Battery Charger quit working....

    I have the exact same battery charger. As has been said I think you need a load on it. I hardly use mine anymore but I have never had any issues. I used it a lot more when I had a house in Idaho as the winters could be difficult on car batteries I think it is also circuit protected so throw a...

    sidewinder vs worm drive

    I think worm drive saws are or at least were a west coast thing I have had a Skil 77 worm drive saw going for more than 25 years now I guess I think it now comes down to how much cutting one is going to do as the weight will start to be a factor if it is being used a lot Great saw though I...

    That is very clean per the picture. Same exact one I have I have had mine since about 1982 or so Just the other day I moved it and a small spot of oil was on the garage floor. Looks like a seal kit in the future

    What kind of pliers do I need for this hose clamp?

    I second this for very difficult clamps/locations It works very well when you have very little clearance and access for a pair of pliers

    tool bag for the junkyard, what tools?

    I think it will depend on what you are going to be pulling on what to bring. Of the times that I have pulled parts I usually take the basics (Metrics or SAE wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers etc.) including a hammer, pliers and wire cutters. I once found a leather steering wheel I wanted and did...

    Harbor Freight Electric Pole Saw

    Lets put this back on track I bought one of these pole saws from Harbor Freight. It works extremely well. Lots of good reviews They had a sale a month or so back for $49.00 so I bought another one. Had it shipped to my house. Cheaper than running around for it with gas being so high. Total...

    HF Engine hoist 1T/2T difference?

    I have the folding leg 2T crane/hoist. Works well I did have to add hydraulic fluid to the ram though. I had read that that was an issue when buying new so when I bought the crane/hoist I also picked up some hydraulic fluid. An air powered ram would be nice I have used it to pull my boat...

    AC testing with CO2

    I think I just sprayed the various fittings/connectors with 409 I believe. When it bubbled up I knew there was a leak or if it did not bubble then I knew I was good at that fitting/connector The days of wasting Freon to chase leaks is over I remember when r-12 was a dollar a can

    AC testing with CO2

    I have used nitrogen in the past. Many years ago I rented a tank from a welding supply place along with a gauge. I found that a pressure relief valve on the back of my compressor had a very slight leak. I also checked for leaks after a condenser replacement. I will see if I have any notes...

    Looking for a 15 gauge pneumatic finish nail gun.

    This is the same with me I have used a Porter Cable NF250 16ga gun for many years now. I think it shoots 1'' to 2 1/2" nails I have used it for base boards, door frame setting and door molding, shelves for my shed etc. No issues with the one I own It is actually one of my favorite tools to...
