    Why Non-Contact Voltage Pen Tester? What is need?

    I’ve used greenlee and fluke. The fluke is far superior in my opinion. I didn’t like the battery twist cap and it came apart after being dropped. Been very happy with the fluke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Also ordered this blower with some Christmas $$$. -Dewalt DCBL720P1 I have a nice gas powered blower, but picked this up for a fair price and can use the battery/charger in other tools. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Narrowed it down to 2 heaters.. Now which one..

    Either unit will output the same heat. Is the remote worth $60 for your intended use? I used a heater similar to the cheaper unit for a while in my 30’x40’ garage. It was undersized but did help until I installed the natural gas heater. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Where did you buy your car charger?

    I use the BatteryMinder 12117 chargers on my lawn mower and four wheelers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P23HZS/?tag=atomicindus08-20 One thing to note, be careful if your power goes out for a long period of time these can drain your battery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Like the John Deere tools, don’t see them posted on here much. We have several of their socket and wrench sets. Good quality and easy warranty coverage if needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Input on New Garage Plans

    Another thought, is 40’ deep enough for two lifts? My garage is 40’ deep and I’m not able to fit two trucks lengthwise. One truck and a short car wouldn’t provide much room to work around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Input on New Garage Plans

    Nice layout and planning. Why the cathedral ceilings? Are you gaining height for lift or just like the look? I’d save the money and use regular trusses. I’d think air from your heater would flow better with a flat ceiling and you’d be able to insulate cheaper. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Estimates on BTU required

    That is a great price. Less than half the cost of the Modine I installed last year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Estimates on BTU required

    I think you’ll be happy with the 80k unit. Good catch on the ceiling height affecting the choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Estimates on BTU required

    I keep my garage around 55 degrees and bump it up when I’m working out there. On a cold winter day (0 degrees outside), I’d estimate it’ll run 10 minutes once an hour. I’m sure a smaller heater would work as well, but chose this unit as the cost increase was minimal and physical dimensions were...

    Estimates on BTU required

    Sounds like you’ll be well insulated. I’d guess about 75,000 btu. That’s what I have in my 1600 sq ft garage with 9’ ceilings (R38 in ceiling, spray foam in walls). I’d suggest having a heating company quote it. Then you can see if it’s worth your time and they’ll size it for you as well...

    PBS Show on Gerstner

    Looks interesting, thanks for passing this on. I tried searching my local pbs channel and couldn’t find this show. I was able to find it on amazon prime and it appears you can watch online after signing up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Plier set recommendations

    I agree with the comments above regarding knipex and channelock. As another option, I’ve been happy with this set from Irwin: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CTABQ8S/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Anyone ever have the power company evaluation?

    I had an energy audit done a couple years ago. It was free and I’d recommend it. I was hoping they’d calculate cost savings of adding insulation to my attic, however the calculation they provided was very generic and was the same as on their website. He did upgrade my garage thermostat to a...
