IMO that’s too large of a space for anything electric, other than a mini split, which I definitely recommend but you didn’t mention budget. Is gas out of the question? Because this is the perfect app for a basic Mr. Heater/Hot Dawg, you pick the brand natural gas heater. It will actually heat...

I have both Coxreels and Reelcraft products, but lately I've been considering the Earthquake XT HF unit. Cox clone. https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-x-50-ft-industrial-grade-air-hose-reel-64925.html

You're correct, Dewalt came out with their Powerstack batteries, but that was after sitting on their hands and letting Milwaukee kick their *** and steal a good deal of marketshare over the course of 15+ years. It was too late....on every job site I see 10 M12/18 batteries for every 1...

What is this ragebait...yeah 15 years ago HF was all junk. There is still a good majority that is junk but also they've also moved upmarket on a lot of tools and toolboxes that the Snap-on folks just can't cope with. They've closed the quality gap, significantly, on certain items. They've...

Buy a quality hose, then learn how to work it. Then you have your kink free hose.

Dewalt stuff is fine, it's just not king of the hill anymore. For many years it was, starting in the late 90s (my estimate) and into the 2010s, it was the top dog and nothing really came close. Their problem is they didn't put any effort into their batteries, Milwaukee started creeping in with...

Call me a snob but after using a Motive bleeder, there’s no reason to do it any other way. Same with vacuum filling coolant. Relatively inexpensive tools that make a big impact and should last decades.

It works great for basic stuff, but don't expect it to replace your corded heat gun if you need max heat for long periods of time.

Best advice is to check with your local municipality and utility, it’s highly subjective and varies widely depending on where you live. It’s best not to assume because these entities are wacky and don’t follow logic, and country wide we are certainly trending away from DIY work in a lot of...

The one I have below is a little more than you want to spend (it wasn't when I bought it) and I do similar tasks. It's a quality machine. I don't do a lot of heavy air stuff...

When I purchased my house, it was all pex expansion. During my first plumbing project, I decided begrudgingly to buy the Milwaukee expander even though it was expensive and I was worried I wouldn’t use it enough. Glad I did as I’ve used the hell out of the thing in the 5 years since.

This is how a lot of trades are now. Bounce from job to job as the customer demands it, based on PM demand, based on the true hard deadline. Survive each day. It's not ideal, it's not efficient, but it's how many companies have chosen to operate. It gets the job done, but it really doesn't...

Wanted to get the concrete experts advise on sealing my driveway. The backstory - I have a normal 2 lane driveway leading up to my garage and had a 3rd parking lane added about a month ago. Obviously the new concrete is gleaming clean and new while my existing (7 years old) is not. I want to...

Eastwood stuff will be the only thing. It really comes down to chemistry…if you truly want it factory durable you have to pony up for 2k

Who knows, maybe the occupancy sensor on the unit is going bad. Likely looking at a replacement.

Not a fan of Lowe’s but Klein has been luring me in. Today I strolled in and saw these and had to have them. Don’t need any of this stuff but it’s too cool to pass up.

I understand that the Propress method lowers barriers to entry and makes old school plumbers with skills less valuable....in the same way that horse trainers weren't as valuable once the motor vehicle came along. It's an evolution in the trade that will understandably be met with resistance...

My local store has 2, one in tools and one on the other side of the store. Used to be some real fun deals to be had but none in several years.

Clear Wago lever nuts are awesome, don’t like the solid ones as much. Ideal brand lever nuts seem ok but aren’t as well built as the Wago brand. Any stab in is a no for me.

Milwaukee m18 Fuel mower - started with (4) 12ah HO batteries. Half acre lot. Heading into season 4, I've warrantied 2 of the 4 batteries.
