    Trick to using stranded wire?

    these are all good tips/methods above, if you still have trouble, you can cheat a little and pinch the wire loop tight around the screw with needle nose pliers as you screw it down.

    Just picked up a "Harbor Freight" Torque Wrench 3/8

    I have this torque wrench and the smaller one. I use them because I don't work on cars enough to have a good "feel" for what's tight enough or too tight. I've used them from spark plugs to timing belt change on my honda pilot. All I can definitely tell you is that a higher number does apply...

    Harbor Freight oscliting blade

    That's par for the course, I tend to get dull spots just from a few large nails. Either buy better or buy more, I haven't done the math on what's less expensive. I re-file my wood ones and use them down to the nub, really doesn't take much effort.

    Lets talk DIRTY.... and how to get clean!

    The one building at work has Soyl in the restrooms, I really like using it, it works pretty well, and has some grit to it which I like. It's not the sandy grit like gojo, but easier on the hands and it really gets the grease and oil off...

    Leviton 20amp outlet receptacles

    I agree with Charles and the screw down type, but I don't mind the wrap around type too much, but I hate the back stabbed ones and I don't sleep at night thinking about them. I like the Cooper outlets, that's what I replaced all mine with. Also, I hate mushy outlets and had to put a screw or...

    I can relate to where the OP is coming from, sometimes I get down a certain path in my mind wanting to do the absolute best thing possible in a given situation, puts me into analysis paralysis. I'll add that since I had to bust up my basement slab to replace the old poop pipe which was...

I have a few sk sets, all older and used, and I have only come across one socket with bad, peeling chrome.let's hope this is just a...
