I bought this 6 years ago when there was another similar thread. Ive been real happy with it.

The builder of my attached garage put strips of metal flashing between the concrete and the PT garage door 2x‘s. Dunno if it makes a difference as I repaired one side last year due to rot and now need to do the other. When I repaired one side, I cut off a few inches and replaced it with a...

I bought one of the cheap ones to trace down an evap leak in my 2018 Grand Cherokee. It worked great and like stated above, it is cheaper than one trip to the mechanic.

Thanks! No instructions in the box and I hadn't done any research (obviously).

Got the punch today and I dunno COS, but it takes a LOT of pressure for it to fire. I tested it in a 2x4 and had quite a hole before it fired. Is this normal? I have an inexpensive punch and it requires much less effort.

My finds for the week. Grill is in great shape except for the flavorizer bars, they are completely rotten. Dewalt P2 bit looks brand new after a min with the wire brush

I was about to start a new thread on this topic and found this one. Anything new to share that you guys would recommend? I’m leaning toward the cyclops style at the moment. I currently use a corded style droplight. It was a CFL but I switched it to led a few years ago. It does the job but the...

Wow, i would have to name that thing after a hurricane.

my grandfathers mailbox is on my moms back porch. Big truck wheel with heavy chain welded together to hold up the box. He repaired many holes in the box over the years, but it has four or five that didn’t get repaired before he passed in 1989. I guess it will end up as yard art at my house...

It was a good day for free tools today! Found the torx bit while walking in the neighborhood this am. Then the utility knife while driving home after dinner. The torx bit cleaned up nicely with the wire wheel. The knife has a bit of road rash and lost it’s belt clip but it works great and...

I’ve never seen those but like them though they aren’t big enough to help solve this tub. Instead, I bought this for $10.

And a picture of one of the valve handles. These did not come with the tub annd were not easy to find. Also a picture of one of the lion feet.

Yes! This is one thought I had as well. See image attached. Water supply line would have to come up then 90 over instead of attaching to the bottom, but that shouldn’t be a problem. Problem with this approach is I asked my wife today and she wants to use a different spout instead of the...

I've talked to a few places and done a ton of online searches. What I have found is the existing hardware is rare and incredibly expensive. I did find a pic that appears to be the same as my tub, just in better condition and with all of the pieces

Hmm, that seems like a match... Dies are not inexpensive and I'm not finding much at the moment that could be used as a plug or reducing fitting. Thanks for the suggestion and I'll keep digging.

Thanks for the offer! I agree that it will be a fun project and I am beyond ready to get it out of my garage. If no one comes up with a better solution, I might cut the threads off the original valves, drill, then solder in a female 3/4" NPT that the new valves could thread into. I have...

Yes, the threads at the bottom. That is where the supply attaches. But also where the valve attaches to the filler. These threads are the same unusual size.

Yes, I want to replace the current valves and keep the handles where they are. The valves are incredibly expensive to have rebuilt and even if I did pay this, I would still have to have an adapter fitting for attaching a supply line to the old valve. Maybe some more pics would help with why...

I’ve had an antique and very unusual clawfoot tub taking up space in my garage for 12+ years and am really struggling with the fittings. It appears to be 14 tpi with an outside diameter of 1.39”. This is close, but will not fit a 1” NPT which is 1.315” OD, not to mention lower tpi. Any ideas...
