    Advice for selling on GJ

    Good pictures (make sure they are right side up). State if shipping is or is not included in price. List any defects, owners marks, issues with tool(s), etc. Get yourself some USPS regional rate boxes to lower shipping costs to people closer to you, could make the deal. Check potential buyers...

    Anyone experiencing any LED light failures?

    I had high hopes for the LED's, I was already envisioning not changing a bulb for ten years plus after converting them all. At least they'll be better than the CFL bulbs although I might slow down on my change over and hope the LED's get better and cheaper over time. Unfortunately I just bought...

    Finally got me a lista cabinet

    He won't have to worry about parts, those things are built like a tank. Only problem with Lista cabinets is once you have one you'll want more.

    Finally got me a lista cabinet

    Those horizontal ones are nice but it's hard to keep the drawers opened. You could have gotten the Harbor Freight box cheaper, it's just as good so I'm told.

    Ebay question - seller cancelled transaction

    There a pile of places that sell returned items around here, a few on craig's list, most at in-person auctions and I'm sure plenty of it ends up on ebay. There is even a guy that refurbishes the tools himself, not sure how he's making money unless he's getting them for free. The big guys buy it...

    Ebay question - seller cancelled transaction

    I know, that's what I had said earlier and it can be great extra income, I know two guys that make their living selling on eBay, one of them is a member here. Although they do work long hard hours but make a good buck. What I was alluding to is that it's not as simple and profitable as one may...

    Ebay question - seller cancelled transaction

    Maybe with Amazon (and Amazon doesn't allow 3rd party unless there is no material identifying the third party which rules out Home Depot), don't know about Sears or Harbor Freight (although I don't know how you could resell HF stuff and make money), but not with Home Depot. With Home Depot you...

    Craftsman 2" combination wrench

    Anyone experiencing any LED light failures?

    I'm slowing switching over, I've got 100 light bulbs in the basement mostly recessed cans, and that's a lot of juice, I think the LED bulbs would pay themselves off pretty quickly. I started with the fluorescent that said they'd last 5 or 10 years, they take a long time to brighten up and some...

    Ebay question - seller cancelled transaction

    There's a pile of reasons people cancel, they feel they didn't get enough money (their fault for not listing it with a higher price), don't know what they have in stock as gdocktor3 said, it disappeared (has happened to me as a seller), got damaged, could be they drop ship from the manufacturer...

    What happened to the Allen/Armstrong Closing thread?

    Very sad end to a great tool company thanks to Apex, the Wal Mart of the tool industry. Been using Armstrong since the early 80's and have a lot of their new stuff. I also have quite a bit of their last production run in the Chicago plant.

    What size are the round plugs on Milwaukee's heated gear?

    Same as the Craftsman heated gear as well. Which is good to know because Sears clearances their heated gear at the end of the season.

    Rigid or Dewalt Boxes...?

    I've got both the DeWalt (not Tstack) and Ridgid, I prefer the Ridgid, I like the latches better as well as the lift handles although I would like a center handle on the small Ridgid box. Dewalt has the latches can hurt you hands (I’ve gotten nailed a few times). I bought my Dewalt boxes...

    Using a momentary switch to deliver constant power?

    I looked at your two diagrams and it looks like they are using a solenoid for the "dump valve" and maybe for the compressor to a tank? Not sure. And I'm not sure what the purpose of the "bypass switch" is. I'm sure you can accomplish what you want to do but you'd have to lay it out for us to...

    Using a momentary switch to deliver constant power?

    No, it's not missing anything, connect where it's open for the limit switch (black arrow) and it latches.

    Using a momentary switch to deliver constant power?

    Here is a simplified version but with out knowing how its actually wired and if the limit switch (disconnect) is on the positive and normally closed. It can be done simply but we would have to see the wiring diagram for the system.
