As a guy bending wrenches all day, that is not something I would buy. Any one that has ever used a test light has figured away around not having a big enough clamp on the end of the wire. Looks like a solution, to a problem i did not know I had.

I think 2ndgear has pretty much nailed it. I buy a lot off of the truck, but I buy a lot at auctions and other places. Like the poster said just a few posts up, and I think it pretty much applies to most small business. You have to be a good enough customer, so the owner wants you as a...

As a commercial snow removal guy I would look at shovels from the snowplow.com. Many are available in hardware stores and farm stores. They have pushers from about a foot wide, clear up to at least four feet. They have thrower type shovels to. The best part is every part is replaceable, and...

I have larger chest type of power washer, parts cleaner. I think it is a landa brand. I could not even imagine putting any kind of petroleum product type of soap or solution in it. I would echo what others have said about soap for it. Follow the directions and make sure you buy soap for your...

I have been through it a few times with the housing authority here. Go have a sort of a preapplication meeting. You will get a pretty good idea, of how they look at it. My opinion is staff will give recommendations to the board, and most times the board votes that way. If staff is on board with...

Just use a test light between the trailer frame and the truck hitch. Turn on the lights and see if the test light lights up

I have the walton set. A lot of your success using them depends on how the tap is broke. If you were getting after it and it is tight, it is a job. Can not comment about the other brand mentioned, but the waltons have to slide down into the grooves of the tap, which in itself is hard to clean...

Just spoke with our agent last week about this. She said if we use the resistant shingles it would give us a discount. I think we have liberty mutual, or auto owners. As we talked she said she would schedule a time to meet with us about insurance needs. They do that about every 3-5 years. Just...

You might check with your states DNR. You may or may not own clear to the water. Even then anyone with a fishing license maybe able to be there. Be there as in near the water. They could not walk through you property for access. If posted. Private lake you might own clear to the water. A...

I am sort of in the middle with this right now. We had a derecho, what I would call a land hurricane, pass over us in June of 2020. Had good sized hail from a storm about a month later. Didn't see any damage, and didn't worry much about it. Last summer we had another large storm, with high...

I agree with the above poster. Each task is sort of its own job. It takes different equipment for each one. Having never done AC work, there will be a learning curve. Not to mention licensing to buy refrigerant.

When 134A was being phased in it was really comparable in price to the older R12. Then R12 went up and about everything was converted over to 134A. At the time if one was looking at purchasing ac equipment, it just didn't make sense to buy R12 equipment. I think the big difference now is the...

I am not a lawyer, but I have a very good friend that is a contractor. Through his kids sports programs, one of the other kids has a dad that is a lawyer for such damages. My friend Is sort of an expert witness for the lawyer. He is sort of tasked with just explaining to the lawyer why damages...

I am not real clear on if the OP wants to come out the side of his house, under and across a patio, or just under a patio. Several years ago I ran new wiring conduit to my garage. One place it went under a 5 foot sidewalk, and near the house it went under about 8 feet of landscaping and a 4...

Being a former dealer, not sure I would get my hopes up. It is just that as a dealer gets out, they usually have the ability to turn in new stuff back to the manufacturer. New stuff that can not be returned mostly gets bought by other dealers in his network. Then how many times when buying...

It will function normally as designed. As long as you are not wanting to hook it up to anything newer than it is dated for. I guess I should say some update would add in functions, for older years. I would guess engine management would be pretty functional up to date it is. Sometimes they will...

I have a western pro vee. I have four dollies under mine and it rolls really nice in the drive way. After it sits for the summer, it is a little harder to move, but once I can lube up the casters it moves very free again. I have two under the actual blade part. I use snowmobile dollies. Most I...

It is a controller for gm idle air control valves. Mostly for tbi fueled systems. You could sort of control an idle with them. If you were cleaning injectors you could boost the idle up. If you needed to set minimum idle speed, you could close the air passage and set the idle screw. Have a few...

I think the problem with most of the gone wrong threads is many choose a contractor based on price. I have to say I have done thousands of dollars worth of projects around properties of my parents, the wife parents, at my homes, and my grown kids homes, and have never had issues like you read...

I would guess the numbers likely are very close. I would think with snap on buying power, they could get the price down pretty far.
