    Icon 800 lumen light

    So I'm considering one of these at the current $25 price tag.... I've had two of the Braun ones and they developed a connection issue at the folding point that eventually made them useless. Hoping maybe @2ndGearRubber has an opinion on these...? Since there seems to be a bit of split and I...

    Problem with drop in anchors and thin floor

    Disclaimer, this is all super rough estimation and not modeling actual forces involved so it's napkin estimate methods that aren't directly applicable; Psi is literally pounds per square inch, you can't increase the psi by increasing the square inches. Also it's square inches , not cubic. So...

    12V test light

    Yes. I had a good example today. Not nearly as extreme but same scenario nonetheless. 97 f150 stich in 4wd. New encoder motor before I got it, switch tests to absolutely perfect resistance levels. 12v seen at the motor leads when activated. Testing supply to the transfer case relay control...

    Kingbolen K7 review

    I dont think so. They are saying they will be adding it in updates but who knows if that will ever actually come. I believe it will support using a bypass cable though.

    Kingbolen K7 review

    I needed a cheapy scanner to carry around/use at home/ use at friends etc. $500 budget. Paid $370 for this on Amazon. Despite usually using the verus edge and autel 916 I am thoroughly impressed!! It's extremely capable as long as your working standard OBD2 stuff. I grab it 90 percent of the...

    cutting concrete top - diamond blade on angle grinder or rent a saw?

    I've used a worm drive circular saw, diamond blade, and a hose on quite a bit of basement work to cut in for plumbing. Trick is to back-cut and let the saw pull itself along the cut rather than trying to cut forward. In your case I think even a geared circular saw would work, and maybe a regular...

    Looking to ID antenna on this little electronic

    Yep. Only two real ways to gain range on the transmitter. Switch to unidirectional antenna or add power ie amplifier. You could add a parabolic reflector to either end with no circuitry involved. Still more practical to do on the receiver end. You'd have to experiment with the direction it's...

    Mechanical projects for kids

    There's a ton of interesting stuff but I find they're pretty limited until about 9-11, I'm always buying them things a few years over their head. 6 is difficult. With my 5 year this usually turns into me letting him pull the trigger on the power tool each iteration and asking him to tell me how...

    Mechanical projects for kids

    Way more minor but it's basic circuits to start with and easy evening projects. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09K6637J1/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Phantom Voltage?

    That is a battery backup bulb whether you realized it or not. Sorry, nothing crazy to see here. Here's the backup design. Note the globe is basically a dome on top and vents on side. It lights when you press the contacts because it's detecting that it is screwed in and has no power. Coolest...

    Obstruction using an open end wrench

    Generally generically one would use angle head wrenches. These however ( if I understand correctly) are also made specifically for your exact purpose. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UME9JEC/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Can a 6 gallon air compressor drive a light duty air hammer?

    Assuming the pump goes on at 80psi and shuts off at 120 you would get .4 minutes operating the air hammer at 4cfm and it would take .84 minutes to refill again.
