    What brands/models of "Electric Air Dusters" have you guys used?

    I have the hurricane.. its ok. I would like a much smaller nozzle, the one it comes with is 1/2 dia and it moves a lot of air but not enough to clean buildup on a computer CPU heatsink. I am going to try a few different vinyl tubes with a nozzle at the end and I think that will achieve what I am...

    Last problem I had with a crack in drywall was over the door, it was because it was moving with the header.

    Battery charger for keeping battery alive when using a scan tool

    Honestly I would think any 2-4 amp charger would be fine. Just put it on a few min before you start and leave it connected while you are doing the work. Edit: maybe that is not enough does the ABS motor take a lot of power?

    Ideas/Suggestions on livingroom remodel

    Thank you for all the information, the floor does not really bounce unless the kids are jumping off the bed or playing rough, otherwise it seems to be ok. There are knee walls about 3-4 feet in on each end but nothing else in the spanned area. The wood is rough cut not a clue on species. A...

    Infrared cameras.

    I bought a Flir one, on sale it was 149.99 and runs on most any new android phones. I believe they have one for apple too. Invaluable when figuring out where you need to insulate and seal in the house. Also used it when I was repairing my heated seats in my jeep

    yes you can pull a red/black/white and a ground unless the conduit is bonded all the way back, I believe the ground can be 1 or 2 gauges smaller. but someone hopefully chime in with the correct information.

    20A drop over distance 10 to 12AWG?

    Run a 10/3 the full length out and put in a little sub panel, or up it to 8/3 if you want future amperage. The 3 wire will give you 240 volts if you ever need it but more importantly 2 120 volt legs to work with.

    Need help reading breaker schematic

    I would put the slims in 17-24 move the double poles to where you made room and I believe that will free you up enough. The new tandems have a molded piece that will not let them fit in any slot now because this is "cheating" and most panels are not designed for that extra load on the buss...
