Fat finger misspell, I meant Knipex pliers.

If anyone is interested Menards has 10" Knipex alligator pliers for $18.99. Don't know how cheap this is but compared to what I've paid for this brand in the past it seems to be a decent deal. Bill

Both good ideas, pretty much what I had been thinking. I know if you use some soapy water in a spray bottle it will help with the blades sticking. That mat was rolled and taped at the store so I think I'll stat with my sawzall whil it's rolled,it needs to be rectangular piece soy hope it will...

Got a question for you guys, I need to cut a heavy rubber mat used in hoarse stalls for my daughter. I've thought about some different methods but was wondering if anybody here had done this without major agony. My hands are pretty shot so I need a method that won't leave me crippled for a...

I worked in two different coal plants, one a few years out of H.S. and one at the end of my electrical career. The first I was called a "utility man" which is at the bottom of the **** list and the last was in the electrical maintenance dept. Any tools needed were provided by the company. If...

I have metric and standard along with a couple of large flare nut style. I bought the sets on flea bay which are crapsman, new and much cheaper than in the store. You really have to tailor your box to what your working on the most. I spent a number of years working in motorcycle dealerships and...

I have several of the Knipex pliers and that 10" angled side cutter is the best available. Bill

Get a pair of Klein 600v grips, shave yours off and put the new ones in a pan of hot water and then just slip them on. Wonderful grips. Bill

OTC front end service tools are pure ****. I've gone through a bunch on warranty.

Well now I know what to do with the HF auto drain I bought a couple of years ago and never installed because it just didn't instill confidence. I'm going with the long ****** and ball valve. Bill

I was pretty excited to find them, didn't have any luck finding an affordable replacement and have been using 200w light bulbs I got from State -Surplus. $2 for a whole case but they do **** the power. Bill

Good idea. Bill

I'm with everyone else, get it surveyed. No matter how great you think a neighbor is they will turn into an ******* at the speed of light. The jerk behind me had been a good friend, I helped him with his projects, loaned him tools and fixed his jacked up electrical work for free. One day he told...

I'll admit I saw a similar one on Pinterest so I made mine like it. I also only have the one plate but also make a lot of my own garage art. Bill

:bounce::bounce::bounce:I've been going through the same problem, all six of my 8' fixtures have pretty much died. Couldn't afford the LED conversion and hadn't found a system I could build myself for a reasonable price. Then Eureka! I found 11 new commercial brand electronic T12 ballasts for...

Way back when I was at a code update class we had this conversation with the inspector. According to him at that time there was no limit to the number of receptacles on a branch circuit but this would be determined by the projected load. At the time we would use the accepted number of 10 per...

I've already posted on this but wanted to add, anytime I see a tool other than truck brands that I want I just Google the manufactures item and part number and look for the best price. The truck venders are really pushing other brands but don't warranty any of it. Bill
