    Effort required to reset/exercise cheap torque wrench

    I decided it was time to add a torque wrench to my tool chest and bought a $20 Harbor Freight click torque wrench (10-150 ft. lbs.) to experiment with. I understand I'm supposed to reset (exercise?) the tool before each use by running it through its adjustment range three times, but I barely...

    Paper or Metal coil filters?

    My system is a Nordyne-manufactured E3 Series (Air Conditioner/Heat Pump Air Handler). When I bought my secondhand mobile home eight years ago, there were thin, woven metal filters over both sides of my A-coil. These are the only filters on my system, and they just kind of lean against the coil...

    Why is my A-coil dripping?

    This is a mobile home system, 13 years old. I heard a tapping behind the covers of my coil/air handler compartment (if those are the right terms), and found the floor wet under the air handler. Looking upwards into the bottom of the A-coil, I saw a drop of water forming at the corner that...

    Table Saw Arbor Wrenches - Craftsman 10" 137.2488880

    Simpson MS60921 (3300psi) Pressure Washer - anti-freeze necessary after blowout?

    I used a blowout adapter for the first time at the end of the season this year and blew all the liquid from my Simpson MS60921 pressure washer pump, hose, and wand before storing it. If the pump is now dry inside, do I still need to use anti-freeze in it?

    Simpson MS60921 (3300psi) Pressure Washer - Shop replaced pump with Yamatic pump?

    When my Simpson MP670920 pressure washer's pump went out (with maybe 20 hours on it), I decided to let my shop replace it the first time. I picked the pressure washer up from the shop today and it has a completely different pump on it now, with a tag that reads Yamatic HIGH PERFORMANCE PRESSURE...

    Simpson Power Washer - Melted Valves and General Maintenance

    I bought a SIMPSON MegaShot 3,300 pressure washer (MS60921) four years ago. This unit is used for 3-4 hours/year to clean green mold from my vinyl siding and is stored in an outdoor shed the rest of the time. I'm careful not to let the pressure washer run for more than a minute or two without...
