The rubber feet on my Dewalt DW723 saw stand were shot. Replacements were no longer available, so a little bit of Fusion 360 design work and some 3D printer work and I have new feet. Probably not as durable as the original rubber ones, but at least they wont scratch the floor like the raw metal...

New home with Moen 2.5 gpm shower head. When taking a shower the water begins to surge after a minute or two. By surge, I mean it's almost like water delivery is suspended every 10 seconds or so for one or two seconds. Never enough to completely lose water flow, just enough to be annoying. I've...

I recently received a package giveaway email contest alert from Milwaukee. The thing that strikes me as odd, they ask if you are member of a union or not as part of the entry form. I've seen it a few times now. I don't know who in the marketing department thinks that is an important bit of...

Anyone in Southern California enrolled in one of these plans? Can you explain your experience so far? Coming from TN with some of the lowest electrical rates in the country, this is a bit new to me. Interested to see others experiences so I can plan what to expect. SDGE by the way.

This is your chance to spec out a new full tool box. I've opened a new facility for our company - we do industrial automation. I've been asked to provide and stock a technicians toolbox - likely going to be one of these, just because they are such a good value: All tools will need to be...

Like the title says, I have an approximately 40 year old Murray 40 circuit panel board and the hinges are horseshoe shaped pieces of plastic that snap into the panel board cover. Does anyone know where I can source these? I need three of them. Please see the following picture:

Looks like the emergency heat on one of our heat pumps might not be working properly. The air at the floor registers is only about 78 degrees. Do the restive heating elements sometimes partially fail? I'm thinking maybe only one half of the element is on.

I would really like to replace my home security system with something more modern and capable of integrating into home automation. It needs to support a cellular connection as I don't have landline phone or hi speed internet available. I would prefer a system that is capable of wired and...

For a guy with a bunch of tools, I didn't have the right one for these ball valves in my pool plumbing. They have become increasingly hard to turn over the years and I did not want to break them with alligator pliers or such. So, 20 minutes or so on the CNC mill with some scrap aluminum tube...

Has anyone used one of these tools to deburr the inside of a hole in 14ga or so sheet metal? I need to drill several 1/2" holes in some 14ga material that I don't have access to the backside for deburing with a conventional tool. I need to access this from the outside. Tool shown is a Noga...

I've done a bit of Googling and I've only found one apparently quality adjustable 1/4" "hex" drive torque wrench. This seems odd to me. We are in the electrical industry and torque a number of different fastener types too a variety of torque values. Our faster types range from straight blade...

I'm getting ready to buy a CNC router; 4 x 8 or 5 x 10 depending on final price. I've got a product in mind to manufacture. It won't be me running the equipment everyday, but someone who will know what the are doing. Any strong recommendations? I've already got one for the Industrial CNC brand...

I realized this weekend that my mis-matched assortment of hand files is really a mess. Most are hand me downs from my dad and are over 70 years old and pretty well worn out at this point. I know Nicholson is one of the more well know brands, I assume they have different grades as well. Does...

Who makes a quality Brass hammer - 8 oz or so? Everything I see online looks like ****, US made or not. Someone must make a Vessel quality small brass hammer.

Any idea of the vintage of this set? They look like 1/4" drive sockets, but the drive is actually .277. Just large enough that a modern 1/4" socket wont fit it. Found it pretty interesting...

I have not had time to reconstruct the outdoor kitchen that was dismantled to allow construction of the new patio last fall, but the Mrs. wanted to grill out the last several weekends. Having enjoyed meals from some friends kamado style grill's; I thought I would give one a try. I was going to...

Horizontal Category III vent ? I've got a new 60K unit heater and I want to vent it horizontally out the side wall of my metal building. I've sourced all the Category iii vent pieces I think I need, but I'm questioning if I need a thimble? The thimbles I'm finding all seem to indicate they are...
