    Snap-on or Koken 3/8" Impact Driver?

    I've seen the two at the bottom used for bleeders, but that top one you posted looks interesting. I will have to look into one of those. Thanks

    Snap-on or Koken 3/8" Impact Driver?

    It is interesting that there isn't a pneumatic or electric version of a manual impact that give the action of an air chisel with the rotation of an impact. Seems like it would be a handy tool for sure.

    Help! Wiring Keypad and Exit Button to Drop Bolt Door Locks

    I'm not worried about that. My kids aren't actively trying to get in this room. Most of them are old enough that if they wanted to use a gun, I would hand it to them and tell them to be careful. The ones I am more concerned about are the foster kids we get in here every now and then. Also...

    Help! Wiring Keypad and Exit Button to Drop Bolt Door Locks

    Yesterday, all of my old wiring knowledge came back to me and made sense. My wife thinks I was just tired the past few days as I was starting this in the evening after working all day and just could not concentrate on it. Yesterday I started mid-day. I used the keypad for the majority of the...

    Help! Wiring Keypad and Exit Button to Drop Bolt Door Locks

    Well I've tried this multiple times in multiple different ways, and I am just too damn dumb to figure it out. It actually worries me because a few years ago this would not have been so confusing. I appreciate the help, but I think I need it dumbed down even more. The problem with the first...

    Help! Wiring Keypad and Exit Button to Drop Bolt Door Locks

    I looked into those, but being these are French doors, they don't lock into each other without some type of bolt into the floor. Plus I always thought it would be cool to have a hidden keypad to get into my gun room.

    The magnet is in the counterplate which gets attached at the top of the door.

    Help! Wiring Keypad and Exit Button to Drop Bolt Door Locks

    I do not want the magnet. I only have a drop bolt lock. Edit...sorry I thought you were talking about a magnetic lock.

    Help! Wiring Keypad and Exit Button to Drop Bolt Door Locks

    True, but if you put the power supply in a locked box, it helps prevent that. Mine is hidden. The keypad itself has an alarm if tampered with. Obviously any system can be bypassed, and this is more to keep kids out, and is used on an interior door.

    Help! Wiring Keypad and Exit Button to Drop Bolt Door Locks

    There is a magnetic plate mounted at the top of the door. The bolt will not drop unless it senses this plate, which can only happen if the door is closed. Otherwise the bolt will not drop.

    Help! Wiring Keypad and Exit Button to Drop Bolt Door Locks

    I need help from those who are smarter than me but can dumb this down to a first graders level. I used to be able to do way more complicated things than this, but I honestly think I am losing it. I am trying to hook up a drop bolt lock on my office/gun room door so the little ones can't easily...

    What Box Do I need

    I was referring to the exit button switches. I will probably just use a standard blank stainless cover and drill it out.

    What Box Do I need

    It might come to that. I have been looking for a box for days that would fit this switch and none of them seem to fit. No idea how it has so many good reviews or how the people buying them are mounting them.

    What Box Do I need

    I looked at a lot of plates and none of them seemed to be to any standard.

    What Box Do I need

    I am looking to install a 12v button in my office as a way to unlock the drop bolts I am installing in my french doors. I have all the components picked out except I cannot for the life of me find a box to mount the exit button switch to. I prefer an old work box, and it can be a low voltage...

    Chain saw help needed

    What model saw are we talking about here? Is this an Auto tune saw, or standard carb? Does it try to start at all? Does it even fire? I need more details to possibly determine what is wrong with your saw. I have fixed / flipped hundreds of chainsaws and will do my best to help you if I can...
