    Has anyone used diy silica gel packets for winter electronics storage?

    Just going to make a few pouches per container. I had some silica gel litter (unscented) but can't find the bag, used them for my cigar humidor. Actually just bought a small bag at the dollar store, scented, but I dont think my electronics care.

    Portable 18650 battery spot welder breaker question

    Thank you, I figured as much. The input power is wired for 120v as they sell them for both voltages. Well, it's a $300 machine that I got for $20 and the old guy I bought it from was an eccentric dude with the wrong fuse in it when I tried it. Figured if I bought the right fuse but a no-go...

    Portable 18650 battery spot welder breaker question

    Hello folks, Bought a used spot welder with a digital readout. It takes a 30A slow blow fuse but when plugged in it just shows a power light but nothing else. Does it need to be plugged into a 30A breaker outlet for the digital numbers to turn on or did I buy a broken machine. The brand is a...

    Is the Harbor Freight PREDATOR 350 Watt Power Station worth keeping?

    Hey folks, I got a good deal on this, open box for $139, half the price of $279 retail. I charged it up to 100% and tried a coffee maker and Keurig machine, both tripped the power station, over voltage. Now for smaller things I assume it works great but just wondering what people use it for...

Took it home and once I ran a board through it I swear you could hear it a mile away, friggin loud and I didn't have any hearing protection on at the time. I also have the newer DW735 but burned out the motor on that so it sits in a...

    Is this a playground slide and how to mount it?

    Lol. The Germans know how to keep kids fit and terrified at the same time. I remember being stationed there and seeing how differently they let kids play and use common sense- you fall, your problem.

    The good old days of not-OSHA approved playground equipment. How we survived climbing and falling is a miracle. Rubber matt floor?-nope. just hard dirt or cement.
