    What circular saw size for someone that wants to build their own home?

    I know this is off topic but the east coast west coast comment is spot on, I remember helping my friend frame on the west coat in the 80's. West coast, red or blue bandana, Colt 45 T shirt, cut off Levi shorts or surfer style swim trunks, 6" leather boots, two or three nail bags on sides and...

    Storage of lightly used tools

    I use a Harbor Freight 5 drawer roll cart to put my least used, overflow, extra backup tools in. Still keeps them handy just in case I need them but they don't take up space in my main box. Also put the extra tools like socket sets and screw driver sets that I have replaced but don't want to get...

    What's in TruFuel

    I always find it hilarious when people actually start an argument trying to justify their position because they don't agree with how someone else does things.

    Repairing an Old Automotive Switch

    Good job. I don't know if you're familiar with Ivan over at Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics but he would be proud also saying "no parts required "

    What's in TruFuel

    I'll be sure to let him know that you don't approve of the way he runs his business or the fuel he uses. First off you are basing cost on retail pricing, he said buying in bulk at wholesale is less than half the cost of the box store. Second, you can't just mix it in bulk because those 30...

    What's in TruFuel

    I know several people that own landscaping businesses including my brother in law, and all of them use some type of True Fuel, when asked about it everyone without question said it saved them money in the long run. Imagine 30 employees from different backgrounds trying to mix oil and fuel...

    Radiator Hose Picks

    I also make my own. I never liked the sharp pick ones unless you were replacing the hose and didn't care if you poked holes in it.

    What’s this machine lead/cable connector called?

    Why couldn't you cut the cord in the middle, then install standard male and female 110 volt electrical connectors, then you could use any length extension cord you wanted. I don't know if you want to cut your factory cord in half but just a thought.

    Has anyone ever used a car jump starter?

    The other night my wife's work had an awards ceremony, due to covid they did it at the outdoor drive in movie theater. After everyone sat with their radios on for several hours when we went to leave several people had their hoods up, I couldn't believe how many dead batteries there were in that...

    DC current clamp for automotive

    Seems like I always grab my Uni-t UT-210E first for quick measurements like alternator output or current drain. If I need to dig into things a little deeper or more precise I have a Hantek CC-65 or a really old Fluke I410 I can plug into my DMM

    Best budget dmm?

    Fluke 115 would be my choice. Easy to use, rugged, true rms and fits your price range. I have every meter known to man but I always end up grabbing my Fluke 115.
