I had removed the fixture in place. This testing I was doing was with a generic cheap white plastic fixture. I took it out of the plastic bag brand new. So I don't think it was leaking to ground.

Because I was just doing a test with the new socket, the ground was not connect to the socket, just hanging loose. If I were to install it, most sockets don't have a screw for the ground (mine is a cheap plastic basement/garage socket), I would attach the ground to the octagonal box holding the...

Let me first preface this by saying this house is very old, built in the year 1900. many of my neighbors homes were built in the 1890's, possibly earlier. A little rural village with 25-30 homes. I moved in, in 2020, a month before all the COVID lockdowns. I have a light over our kitchen sink...

If I remember correctly, that is also when all models became 100 series, with a letter "S" for Swivel and "N" for stationary.

Personally, I would look at something in the 4", maybe 5" range. Don't go for open screw, not always, but generally they are lighter duty. New will cost you more and get less quality. Check FB Marketplace, Craig's flea markets, garage sales; if you are not in a hurry, you should find something...

Kevin, those are a couple of beauties. 109's I have seen on GJ or elsewhere, but never the 209. If I recall correctly, all the big vises Demoman had and showed, he never had a 209.

Maybe 10 days to 2 weeks ago I saw this mentioned, either on GJ or elsewhere, and I have been following it, just for curiosity of what it will finally go for. https://hibid.com/lot/233178945/large-no--109-reed-mfg--vise---200lb The "title" is wrong, a 109 would be in the 300+lb range, and a...

Looks super nice, but my first thoughts were that $20 was kind of steep. But I haven't bought an oiler in years and $20 isn't bad at all these days. I just hope oilers do not go the way of the vise. 15 plus years ago, vise were $20 or free on the side of the road. Now they go for hundreds or...

The fine detail and intricacy used on all of these vintage oilers is very impressive. They could never include these fine oilers with sewing machines, electric motors and whatever else they did back in the day, with today's products.

I have been in bed with a fever for the past few days, but I finally got the photos of my panel. The 2 pole breakers on the upper left side (1,3) & (5,7) are the power in from the power company and generator. There was an interlock switch, but it broke off. I bought what I believe is the...

I think I like yours more...regardless of the price

Well I can't confirm it is only a 30 amp panel, the son of the people I bought the house from, I think he mentioned it was a 30 amp Square D panel. He is a retired electrician, so I kind of trust what he says, it is my memory I do not trust so much. BTW, this house is very old, built in the year...

I bought my home a little over 4 years ago and it was setup with a subpanel for a generator. The way this was done was a 30 amp breaker from the main panel, feeding a 30 amp breaker in the Gen sub panel. In the Gen SP there is also a 30 amp breaker for the Gen. These two 30amp breakers have an...

So it's 3 years later. There were 34 replies, not one addressed the OP's question. I did a Google search wondering the same thing as the OP; are there differences between A, H, M & W series stud finders? I looked everywhere a I cannot find a response, including on Xircon's website. OP, did...

"At least 10 minutes to get it off the machine and 10-20 minutes to put it back on !"...the time to take off and put back on, you need to do whether cleaning or replacing, regardless.

Carb cleaner was my first thought, but hen remembered reading that many bike fanatics usually clean their carbs in an US cleaner

I don't do enough carb cleans, (this is my first), but there are many uses for an Ultrasonic cleaner. theoldwizard1, a lot of useful info. I have the engine running now, but will check out JC video, thank

I used a pin from my wife's sewing kit, then followed up using a 1/64th bit, NOT in my drill, just twirling slowing with my fingers. A YT video, the guy had a key ring with "abrasive wires" hanging from it, like a feeler gauges with all the sizes on the ring. I think he said he uses it for...
