That article is MOSTLY correct. However, the "saws" that have a rotating top held blade are special, and are NOT jigsaws. That's a unique tool called a CutAwl, designed for pattern cutting.

Well, back in 2000, I got a whole lot of replacement batteries from Dell due to a fire risk recall. Those were NiMH. But you make a good point. The reputable companies that put batteries in their equipment tend to use stuff that's pretty safe. The problem is that the market is awash in fly...

I get that. Now get a spool of Loctite 55 and forget about all of the BS from tape.

That's easy. They don't ever turn your water off. In fact, that property wouldn't have even had a meter before 1985.

Well, try reading what I actually wrote, rather than what you're looking to hear. I know they do. My neighbor lived in a trailer for a year because of a Milwaukee battery. I still use several lithium chemistry tool battery brands. I had a Milwaukee charger start to melt on me once.

$560 for a 1". There's no way I'd be able to call a plumber to freeze a pipe (of any size) for $560 here. MAYBE if I triple that.

I thought all plug-in EV packs were liquid cooled nowadays.

Why does anyone freeze anymore when these are on the market: https://easyfitisolator.us/

I think here we also need to differentiate between CELL thermal runaway and PACK thermal runaway. Everyone who says that thermal runaway isn't risky has only experienced the first. Anyone who's experienced the second knows your best option is to run away.

For a pool pump contactor cycling daily during a short season, definite purpose should last a LONG time, assuming it meets the horsepower requirements. Where you get into trouble with the cheaper hardware is with things like HVAC equipment that could be cycling a compressor several times an...

Un huh. It's reliable as the sunrise, until it fails, and then blame the manufacturer or installer. But hey, every one that hasn't failed is reliable, right? Every tail light warranty sounds like that too.

You had me up until that insanity. If that argument fails for propane or natural gas, then it fails for emissions of ANY flammable gas. And a venting cell releases just as much gas as the A2L refrigerants on the market that require flammable gas sensors that are such a big debate today.

Daily temperature swings aren't good for batteries. Neither is baking in the sun, or condensation (which is likely in an unconditioned space). An isolated shed with a blowout wall facing a river may be ideal for preparing fireworks, and it will go far to mitigate the risks WHEN you have a...

It's made for television repair. Being plastic, it is non-conductive, so safer to use around the high voltages present on a CRT board, and also because it is non-ferrous, it doesn't affect the adjustable components you'd use it to tweak.

That would depend on the product. A gloss clear finish should never need shaking, because it has no solids that can settle out. Stirring may or many not sufficiently re-suspend settled solids in everything else. Shaking always brings them back into suspension, but can create micro-bubbles...

ROFLMAO. Talk to ANY insurance company.

Not a thermal camera. That only sees the surface. A smoke detector might pick up a venting battery early enough to be useful. A CO detector is more likely to catch it. A flammable gas detector would be the best external air sensor. But all of these have high levels of both false positives...

It's done pretty good for me, but Sikaflex has way more stretch. Put down the Sikaflex SL, and then sprinkle sand on top of the wet self-leveling caulk. ;) Or if you can get crushed concrete or granite dust or anything more grey than sand, it might hide even better.

I've never seen one high enough that a hand chain couldn't be made reachable.

You apply dope to the male threads only (for typical pipe sizes), and don't need to completely fill the threads in. If you use too much, it just pushes out as the joint closes, so long as you're not doping the female side.
