I'm quite happy with them. I own the Ideal one: My electrician owns the Rackatiers: There's no comparison between the two, and I got the wrong one for pilot drilling. The Ideal is much shorter and wider, while the Rackatiers is much taller. Nothing is escaping the Rackatiers, but fast...

What's the alternative? Even if you're punching holes in a panel, you still need to start out by drilling for the pulling stud. My most recent experience punching holes in panels required drilling to almost 1/2" to get the small diameter punch in there to make way for the 4". We used magnetic...

Ok, I found the source of that chart. And I have a strong suspicion that Eaton is blowing smoke up our asses with this microcontroller story. All that's needed for this to work, is a couple of resistors and a capacitor on the secondary side of the CT sense coil. A high-frequency cut shelving...

Not all fingertip controls are created equal. I had a Miller side wheel that was an absolute piece of garbage. The only two on the market that I feel are worth a damn are the SSC Touch 4, and the TIG Button.

Yeah, out of position foot pedal control is annoying. I have an SSC Controls Touch 4 fingertip paddle, and find it no less intuitive than my SSC pedal. Me, I'm like a fish out of water without power control. YMMV, but if you're looking to find a way to get pedal like control without the...

That's pretty cool. How does it load staples? Open tray, or the long spring loaded pusher from the back? edit: found it. Wow, I like. Lay-in loading, and two power levels.

The chargers, sure. The vehicles, not happening. Not soon, not ever.

I thought you're only supposed to use barley straw.

Yes. Loctite 55. https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Pipe-Sealing-Thread-Water/dp/B0010YLI0G?tag=atomicindus08-20 It makes tape completely obsolete. Soft setting and non-setting dope are repair friendly. Tape is a mess when disassembling, but isn't too terrible to clean up. Setting dopes and...

Ahhh. I guess it's just different technique. I've always put my thumb on the end of the tape for the first turn, then roll my thumb off carefully so I don't peel up the end of the tape (this works for my purposes, but is completely unacceptable for oxygen service), and then once the tape is...

I have used the freezer in my garage for bearing shafts. I'll usually place the bearing on an upturned 60w light bulb for the heat source.

I'm not a fan of runny dope, but if your dope is runny (natural peanut butter consistency), then I could see it working applied over a thick tape (still wouldn't try that over the white stuff that shreds with just a strong stare). Fresh Rectorseal 5 can be this runny, as can the blue **** (not...

Nah. Those aren't anywhere near enough to damage any size MT. Any fine wire brush is ok. Once you go to the heavier wires, the wire can leave indentations in the surface, and those dimples have raised edges that throw off the geometry. I don't think this is your issue. As I said. Double...

I can't say I've ever had that happen. White tape is nowhere near strong enough to handle dope being applied on top of it, but goes over a proper (not over) application of dope just fine. If your dope is as tacky as Rectorseal 5, the tape sticks to it very well, and since Rectorseal 5 doesn't...

We'll never see eye to eye on this one. Can you imagine a propane installer making this excuse? Here's an insurance perspective on it: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/tesla-megapacks-sparker-system-game-changer-battery-safety-john-munno-m2pvc/

Most of the PH4's I see are inside a hex, so I hardly ever use my driver. My PZ3 and PZ4 bits are what fit those Swedish furniture assembly cams best, and I've even run into one cam that took a PZ5.

For those not aware, you shouldn't be using a drill press for milling. This is what happens. Once the chuck falls out, there's a good chance the morse taper hit something like the table or the floor and raised a burr. Give it a good inspection for burrs and stone off any high spots that...

True. And since it's flowing hot air, even if it does heat the wires if they start out cold, I don't think the added heat would call for any derating since there are no splices in that LB. I'd be more worried about clogging, and lint buildup. Rather than extending the vent elbow, I'd...

LOL, there's on of those on eBay for an insane $750, but that aside, that's at most a PH6 or PH7. A PH10 to scale would pierce the ceiling.

It works and makes taping slightly easier. Just be sure to not overdope or overtape.
