Ridge vent lowered the temp in my attic by 50F.

Hose pick for the final stretch worked for me.

Thanks to the GJ folks for those tips. I made limited progress by following those suggestions, but this is the one that worked best for this particular scenario: I filed away some notes on the other methods for future use.

Excellent idea! Glad I thought of it.:D

Does anyone know of a simple hand tool used to extend (stretch, expand, decompress?) a coil spring like this one? Approximately 6" L X 1"D.

Need Snap-on shallow 3/4" 6-point sockets: 3/8" drive chrome, 3/8" drive impact, 1/2" drive chrome and 1/2" drive impact. They don't need to be new or pretty - just fully functional. These are the ones that I use a lot, so they are the ones that I lose a lot (duh!)

I was mainly alluding to Molex uninsulated terminals https://www.molex.com/molex/products/part-detail/accessories/0194130110. Made in USA, among other impressive features and specs.

rdoty, slightly off the recently posted subjects - but my projects are WAY behind your own... Do you have any experience with or opinion of Molex connectors?

I think we should all get together, buy a Freightliner and start a weekly garage route offering rental whores.

I like it. Can I move in this weekend?

My first guess for a manufacturer is MBC (Metal Box and Cabinet, later known as MB Century), possibly rebranded as any one of several other popular brands including Snap-on, circa 1950s-1960s. Second guess is Waterloo, possibly likewise rebranded. The brand logo mounting holes on the top chest...

I've been waiting and waiting for you Snapaholics to send me enough 1950s SO tools to properly populate my favorite toy box. But none have showed up yet. Did I type something offensive?

After comparison shopping several manufacturer's offerings, including Noco and others favored by GJ members that seemed to fit my need for charging and maintaining my auto, OPE and UPS batteries, I settled for a Clore Pro-Logix 4050. https://cloreautomotive.com/product/pl4050/ I like their...

Thanks. That is the kind of info that I was seeking. My VDC MINDer 2248 worked very well for about 15 years, but has seemed a bit unstable recently. So I will move VDC down the replacement list in favor of Noco.

I was asking for information specifically about the Battery MINDer brand manufactured by VDC Electronics compared with a comparable Noco model. https://www.batteryminders.com/

Does anyone here have first-hand experience with a Noco compared to a comparable Battery MINDer?

But is it okay for me to use them anyway since I don't own industry-standard anything manufactured in the last 30 years?
