    Milwuakee M18 Fuel 1/2 Impact Wrench

    It is a sweet gun. Only thing I don't like is the pin detent, got to keep a small screw in the case. Not as much power as the IR iq 20v serise but battery life is better on the Milwaukee 4.0 batterys

    Who makes a better adjustable wrench channellock or proto

    We use protos at work, from an 8" to an 18" they are a quality piece and have been hard pressed to find one better. I've used a few Irwins, and Cresents but not as solid in my opinion

    Too many holes in circuit breaker cover

    Honestly, a new cover is only around 40 bucks. By the time you buy 10 slots, you have bought the cover

    Costco 4' LED shop light

    Having a bunch of lights with plugs are a pain and look messy. Better off with tandem t-8 fixtures with an electronic ballast. The tandem fixture is 8' long, two bulbs wide and two 4' bulbs long. They do make reflectors for these if you want to make sure all the light comes down but a nice white...

    Halogen security lights as shop lights?

    and the bulbs always seem to burn out too soon and are more costly then regular bulbs. as said I would go with t-8 fixtures. my personal preference is the 8ft fixture that tandems 4-4ft bulbs so u don't have to buy or handle 8ft bulbs.

    30x50 Garage Lighting Design

    Those t5 fixtures at HD are cheep, and don't even have a shroud. With your 10' ceilings, i would go with something that has at least a metal reflector shroud. It doesnt have to be reflective but that would be even better. Best bang for the buck is a tandem 8' t8 fixture which is basicly 2 4'...

    The t8ho with refelectors still put out a TON of light and are much cheeper then the t5 versions. The t5 high bay with reflectors you are looking at 200 a pop. Like the ones pictured above

    3 Way pull switch?

    Not really just wondering if it was feasible... here is what i was thinking..... Take a metal 1900 box (4"x4") with a blank plate on it that has a 3/4" knock out it. Get a cord "chinese finger trap" and hang a piece of 14-4 or 12-4 SJO cord(depending on the amperage of the breaker) from it...
