I found it's one of those things that are not advertised or talked concerning LED lights. Are they brighter? Yes. Do they flicker and fail? Yes mine do when it gets cold. They also stop working until I climb up and move the tubes a bit. Stangley I have problems with low temperatures sorta like I...

Yea I love my Fluke 87V. I had others for a long time that worked fine but when I needed to replace one I finally had the money to buy a Fluke. But I think it's a bit like Snap-On tools? Buying expensive when less will do most of the time. There is a safety factor to watch out for because cheap...

I have been using crushed glass from Northern Tool. Fairly cheap and I like the surface finish a bit better than glass beads. . . .

Right you can Frac your leach field like posted above. Does exactly the same thing as Fracking in the Oil field. Opens up the leach field and improves it's permeability. This allows the fluid to flow or "Perc" into the soil. The plastic beads are the proppant to help keep the channels open after...

That's a very good point! I am embarrassed that I bought an expensive set of Tite-Reach chain drive extensions. I was sure they would be very useful BUT I have NEVER found a job that required it? So just an impulse purchase on my part and they are NOT cheap either! Tite-Reach Extensions I...

Thank you! I learned something new today and now know what a "Log Arch" is. . . .

Good luck! I have never had any long term success by painting over rust. After MANY long years I have found out that ALL the rust must be removed and no magic "Bullet" will work. POR-15, Rust Bullet and dozens if not hundreds of other special products that claim to eliminate the worst part of...

Bad, Bad advice!!! Texas cities/counties by law MUST appraise the property at least every 3 years. They WILL be looking at the property. Don't do something stupid here? Follow the great advice you got above! This is 100% controlled by your city (Which you did NOT tell us?). Please go talk to...

Surprised you found Eley products heavy?? One of their selling points, at least for just the hoses is that they are made of Polyurethane and are much lighter than regular hoses. They also claim kink free. While no hose will be totally kink free I must say the Eley does live up to it's...

One difference I noticed when the Series 2 boxes came out is my new ones have a round vending machine type lock where my older units have a regular key lock like on a file cabinet. The new one seems better quality too? . . .

I worked offshore oil and gas and wore hearing protection 24/7 for years. Many kinds and brands. My current ones are custom Silicon molded ear plugs. About $160 and you need to get your ear's foamed and then the silicon ones are made from that mould. Unbelievable comfort and the best noise...

It's always helpful to state facts when faced with stupid agenda and foolish slogans. But it won't work their minds have long since closed down! . . .

I had all this done professionally and one additional tip I found out is to place sand into the top surface of the filler before it drys. Much nicer surface and it blends in color wise better too. My driveway guys used foam backer rods to fill the gaps. . . .

Don't care for it but have you tried crushed glass from Northern Tool? They do put it on sale from time to time and it's about the cheapest product I can find. I prefer the crushed glass over the glass beads because of the sharper surface finish. Beads give me a smoother more burnished surface...

I would NEVER buy any wrenches with that design!! This is an accident waiting to happen and you will trap that wrench because there is no way to reverse the rotation except by flipping the wrench over. So get it in the wrong spot and be ready to cut the wrench or the bolt off to free the wrench...

If pulling stumps consider using the old tire and chain trick? Works surprisingly well because it converts the horizontal pull of a tractor or truck into a vertical pull which then works directly on the stump. Heck if your real cool you can add a ****** block and multiply the pulling force so...

If you currently only have 120 VAC then get the smaller welder. BUT you state you need to run a line anyway so in that case really consider installing a 220 VAC connection. Kind of a future proof idea too. . . .

Have had and used them for decades and as with ALL tools they have good and bad points. You can't compare them to higher end pliers unless you also post what the cost difference is. One question I always had that I never heard discussed but why the "stacked Plates" type of construction? Is it...

Good suggestions! My only addition is to write the date on EVERY can of paint/solvent or spray can of any kind! You will be shocked at how old some stuff gets! . . .

If the vehicle is anywhere close to modern it already has UV dye in the refrigerant from the factory. I have used N2 but it was a hassle to setup as posted above. Plus do you have a source for the N2? I just use plain old compressed air now. I used several adapters to get the air line connected...
