Well, the 5-20 link went to Amazon home page, so idk. But, I have both a wire welder and a plasma cutter that have a 20 amp plug on them, the basic 15 amp type, but one of the blades is turned horizontal. They did come with 15 amp plug adapters, but you cannot get the full capabilities from the...

They cost a lot. Largest micrometer i've used was 48". With micrometers that large, you have to take your measurement at 45 degrees. If you do it vertical, the frame sags open and alters the measurement. If you do it horizontal, the frame sags closed, and alters the measurement.

I'd completely worn out two dremel tools by the time I was 30, wife got me a craftsman flex shaft tool, and wore that out as well. Went ahead and got a foredom, with the pedal.

I bought the building, they gave me several sets of plans, then talked to the concrete contractor, who said I needed to get a permit. Took my plans to the permit office. You do give them a set of plans, at least here in virginia. All went ok, except the permit office didn't inform me of some...

I'll have to take a pic of mine. Big blacksmith's hammer.

We've got a couple around here. One has been up at least 2 yrs. We don't get lots of snow, but I went with a snow load rated one. I did anchor it beyond what they say, with screw anchors and ratchet straps at the corners. It's seen some decent winds. It's still standing, but I had to install...

Grk is good also....

A roll of electrical tape has served my needs for over 20yrs, if that won't cover it, I know how to suture, and staple.....

Spax cabinet mounting screws. They also make construction screws, but the heads are different. The cabinet screws have a built in washer head. They aren't cheap, but I read somewhere that the #10s will hold 300lbs. I used #10x3", but with 1" of drywall, i'd go 3 1/2" on length. Used maybe two...

I used to run a couple lathes in this industrial repair shop, one would swing 60", and was just over 25' long, the other would swing 72", and was 50' long. I'm 6' 4", and the center of the chuck on the 72" swing was at eye level, the beds of both were anchored directly to the floor. The wrench...

While remove them with an impact, I set it to the lowest, and just snug them in with an impact, a finish them with a torque wrench. The blades are not keyed to the spindle, the retaining washer is conical, and uses tightness to hold them. When I bought the mower, used, they were tightened flat...

My deck has three blades, one is left hand, with a left hand bolt. I use a hi-lift, or farm jack. It's like the old bumper Jacks, but bigger and stronger. Mine is a 48" version, they make a 60". Got it at tsc for under $100. I lift it by the front wheel frame, and then support both sides of the...

Larry_g beat me to it, but the manuals are there. I've also just done a basic Google search for them, and downloaded the pdfs. I got mine used, so that was the only way to get them. I have gotten the owner/operators manual, general service manual, parts manual, and the engine manual (mine has a...

I have a couple headlamps, including nice petzl's. I ended up finding their uses limited. On top of that, I ended up finding anything using AAA's limited. They decay on an almost unbelievable level, and destroy whatever they are installed in as they do.

If you understand locks and how they work, great, go for it. The pins, or tumblers, are not terribly difficult, it only gets complicated if you want to masterkey....... If not, call the locksmith. It's hard to beat someone at their own game.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. However, I have a hustler super z diesel zero turn, with a 72" deck, that I cut the yard and fields with. When it comes to blades, I remove them with a cordless 1/2" impact, ryobi, but whatever brand floats your boat will work, then install them with the...

Some of us used to do that, but we were all already friends. So, no potential lawsuits, none of the tools in the shop were leaving in people's pockets, etc...... And, even then, things can go awry. I've been reloading ammo for a good while, had a friend once who said they had as well...

Marketing, put in the numbers, to make set larger, smaller, less used pieces are a bit cheaper, and missing pieces you definitely need brings you back to the store to buy more. Win win........ All the same, there are times when I would use a 3/8" drive 3/4" socket and ratchet, and times when I...

There are always ways in, through holes cut for wiring, pipes, etc. It's very difficult to find every one and plug it. Mice got in our last house one winter, and set up shop before we knew they were there. Once I had their paths figured out, I had something like seven traps going. I was clearing...
