I had to wait eight months for a replacement battery for my wife's seven year old PHEV. And that was under warranty. Meanwhile the car was inop, and it cost the Mfg more than the car was worth to perform the repair. Today's tool batteries will be antiques in 10 to 15 years.

I've got Wiha and Wera. Mostly Wiha bits and Wera handled tools. Speaking of small Wera tools, their Advent calendar this year had a bunch of micro tools, quite a few were Torx. I fully admit to opening mine already. This set stays with my gunsmithing gear. Super nice micro ratchet in there...

Yeah, you guys are TOTALLY right. The average citizen of India, Indonesia or Nigeria is worried day and night about global warming [Insert meme here of Maslow's pyramid resting solidly on a foundation of concern for pollution/emissions]

Developing nations laugh at the notion that Californians think they're gonna save the world.

If the threads are exposed on the other side, vice grips are your answer.

The crew could be the best, most experienced installers ever, but if they don't have the parts on their truck, they can't simply fabricate the proper tracks on site.

What does the quote call for? If you wanted high lift, then you needed to spec that when you placed the order.

Picked this beauty up last week. She's got a 29.5hp EFI Kawasaki out back. She will be doing duty alongside my smaller Walker 26.5hp EFI Kohler. I've been very happy with the reliability of the Kohler. Almost ten years in. Electric mowing isn't gonna get the job done at my place. Though I...

I used Hydro Ban membrane and fabric only where I had shrinkage cracks. Nothing more than 1/32 to 1-16". For my application, total coverage was not necessary. Concrete profiling is a jobsite decision. I had planned to do a heavy etch, but tests showed no improvement. I only etch where the...

I've used anti-lippage on smaller tiles, but that's in bathrooms. It would get spendy on a big job with 4x8 pieces. For grout, I've been very pleased with Mapei Flexcolor CQ in my garage. Fluids have wiped up, so far. It's premixed and I did not use any additional sealer. I did use a...

$7/ft for installation sounds dirt cheap if the work is halfway decent. Three years ago, the labor only quote for my 1650ft2 garage was almost $13K from a crew that's done work on my place previously. I don't know how many feet you've got, but unless you DIY this project, there's no possible...

Battery The combustion gasses were likely a lot more pleasant than the chemicals being released by cutting those railroad ties.

There are specialty flooring showrooms all over the area. They may or may not have a contractor business card board. Mosaic tile in Chantilly. Conestoga in Sterling. Porcelanosa in Rockville. To name a couple. Check the Floor and Decors. They're everywhere. Same with The Tile Shop. Be...

Use a separate light at a low angle to highlight the stamped label.

Milwaukee for corded. But I use my 18V Makita 10X as often, which is to say that the big corded machine doesn't see much use any more.

It was off by a steenth over two feet, not four.

Are you towing or driving?

Can you do a small test on just a couple of sqft? Just to get the hang of working with the products you've chosed and to see if the bond will be good. When I was heading into my garage tile project, we did a bunch of tests. Mostly focused on the concrete profiling and types of thinsets. You...

I have exactly 50' between two garages that face each other. Sometime it's not enough.

I've had good luck with Kapro brand levels. They're not super cheap like HF or the one that is giving the OP trouble, but they're not gonna bust the budget for a home gamer like Stabila will, either.
