OK, I'm not an electrician, but my dad is technically, but not a licensed contractor. We ran a subpanel in my garage and used armor clad 10-3 wire to get two circuits out of one run. We tried to run GFI's in the first duplex. Without any load on it, they would not pop and read good with...

One used Square D 50A GFI breaker that I removed from my box when I demo'd the hot tub that came with our house. Lived in the house for 1.2 years and it never tripped. No way of testing it, but offer a 5 day money back guarantee on it. Asking $25.00 + $5.00 shipping. Would trade for...

OK, I often overthink things before completing a project. I guess I want to do it right once. Anyway, I've put three compact T-8's in one side of the bay. I've read a bunch of negative reviews about the Big Box ones coming with cheap ballasts. My local jobber has Mercury brand lights. He...

Good Morning: I'm retro fitting/installing some T-8 lighting into my two bay garage. What I mean by retro fit is I'll be tapping into the single fixtures in both bays for my power source for the lights. There is a switch in bay #1 that turns on the lights in both sides of the garage. I...

Last year I purchase a Bosch drill/driver and 1/4" impact driver set. They are the 18V Lithium Ion compact batteries and those "snap stack" (forget the trade name). I'm really thinking about getting the Fuel kit HD has on sale. What is a fair asking price for the Bosch tools? Reason I ask...

Selling my lightly (home owner/hobbyist) used IR 2131 QT 1/2" air gun. Comes with IR boot. Only used IR oil and grease and oiled it every time I used it. If I recall, it does 600 ft. lb. of torque on max setting. It is a QT and definitely cuts down on the noise over a non-QT tool. Only...

Thinking about picking up a Milwaukee M12 1/4" impact. I understand that it is still an impact, but do you need to use 1/4" impact sockets with it since it puts out fairly low in lbs. numbers?

I'm going to be taking the plunge on a Fein multi-master tool. What do think is the better deal? I've found two kits: 1) Master kit with 161 different bits and blades and hard case for $229. 2) Starter kit with approx. 50 different pieces and blades and a soft case for $139. The...

I'm going to be removing the tiled back splash in my kitchen. What would be the best tool to remove the tile while trying to preserve the backer board behind it? I'm thinking some type of multi-tool.

I'm in the market for a M18 1/2 High Torque impact wrench. Right now, CPO is offering 11% off for veterans day. I never paid attention to past Black Friday sales, but does anyone recall what the BF deals were on Milwaukee Fuel stuff? 11% brings the price down to $381. for a brand new with...

Looking of a source to get some reasonably priced gooseneck lamp mounting hardware. I have the fixtures, I would like to find some mounting pieces so I mount them up. I can bend conduit if these can be made up at home, but it seems like there is a threaded piece that mounts to the porcelain...

Changed hardware on our kitchen cabinets and have these Amerock knobs and pulls left over. Pulls are for 3" spacing. See the individual pictures for model numbers and totals. The finished are polished bronze and polished nickel. Will come with a bunch of left over various length...

I've been reading the threads about shop heaters and I'm thinking of biting the bullet and getting a ceiling mounted unit. Where do you get 100 lb propane tanks? Is this a lease thing or can they be bought outright. I'd assume the company that fills it would lease them, right?

I use to cover our A/C units during the winter and was told that it isn't a good idea. The person that said that claims it makes a nice place for rodents to hole up in during the winter months. Curious on what the pros think?

OK, I was about to pull the trigger on a new Milwaukee Sawzall, but noticed some of the new ones offer orbital action. I've never used one with the orbital action before. Is it worthwhile or just another part to wear out? Thanks,

Hi Fellas: OK, after trying to cut up an old hot tub the in our place with an ancient Makita, I'm going to take the plunge and get a new saw. I've decided on Milwaukee for the two models I'm looking at are made in the USA. Since it's been a while, I didn't realize there are different...

Two brand new still in the box and factory zip tied sealed Craftsman 94 pcs. USA made tool kits. Includes 3/8" & 1/4" tools. Part # 939094. Great set to have around or keep in the trunk or job box. Hard to beat the price for US made tools. ** This same kit is listed on the Craftsman...

I'm not in the HVAC business, but I was doing so looking over of my units in the house we bought last June. Sometime in the early 2000's, a new gas furnace was installed. They tied into the existing sheet metal duct work. The tie in is leaking like crazy. I can feel tons of cold coming out...

OK, I finally had a chance to use my M18 Fuel 3/8th impact w/ compact batteries for what I had intended it for; changing tires. I was all excited and got to it and all but 1 of the 8 the lugs came off. Being disappointed, I realized the gun was set at the #2 setting. I quickly switched it...
