    Easy sub panel question

    I was pretty bummed actually. I really just needed a few more circuit and thought I would go tandem only to find this out. Most of their HOM line does not accept Tandem. They design the breaker so that it will not even fit. Though I know guys break off the tab so they can still get them in...

    Hi from Massachusetts

    Hi everyone, I have actually been a lurker on here for ages, did lots of small projects with great help from the messages here. I love tools probably too much. Facom was always #1 but Snap On has slowly taken its place for me, though I still have a lot of Facom. Like lots of fun things...

    Easy sub panel question

    It's not always meaning tandem breakers, I have a panel thats 20/40 Square D HOM and does not accept Tandem. Technically each breaker will accept two wires on it which is where the doubling comes from. Some are allowed by code (surge suppression box) and I think perhaps a doorbell. I...

    Spring compressors

    Take a look at the Craftsman one, not positive its right for you, but it looks much better made than I expected. I *think* it is USA made also and was about $45. The sir tools one looks terrific but at $500! is insane. The Craftsman one looked well made.

    Best anti seize to use?

    I never have really gotten a good answer to this that I understood. Seems like copper is common and maybe nickel is for salt water and higher temps. I really would just like one good jar but am in the northeast with salt, water, etc. Is there a downside to using nickel for everything? Do...

    Armstrong GMTK Opinions

    I got a pretty good deal. When you consider the case alone is $500 and the fluke is worth $300, plus you get everything else. I don't think there is a serial number on it. I understand the warranty is still valid.

    Facom new LED light any good?

    I just ordered one of these and am thinking the $150 was pretty steep. Just wondering if any of the die hard Facom lovers have gotten this light? It looks really handy and lately it seems that my #1 problem in the garage is always bad lighting. Maybe just getting old. :eyecrazy: Thanks

    Epoxycoat Update

    I bought thsi coating 3 years ago because of posts here. I was one of the unlucky ones that bought it 1 month before Lowes got it, and EC wouldn't do anything to help with a partial refund, but I guess what can you do. It is stained a little bit from tires, etc but the coating has held up very...

    Armstrong GMTK Opinions

    I bought one of these earlier this year and really like it, I sometimes forget its there since it's all closed up but if I am working on the trailer or something it is great to be able to take it outside with every general tool you need right there. They seem to still be popping up for sale...

    need a new 1/4" ratchet...

    I like having a few if you can but one of my recent favorites is the Cornwell 1/4" swivel head ratchet. It is small, very strong, I broke a bolt free on a steering column in a very tight spot with it, then the big benefit is that you can point it upright and use it like a speed screwdriver.

    Need a tool for finding open circuit breakpoints. Suggestions?

    I just bought an Amprobe that is workign very wel. I tried the greenlee tool and it was too finicky for using IMO. The amprobe does take some tuning when you get going but after that I identified more than 40 circuit with it. Plus I can use ti find underground ones. Try to find one used...
