Crank up the latch speed on the door closer a little bit. If the door doesn't have a door closer or adjustable latch speed, install a hydraulic door closer.

Bought 12pack of rough and fine sanding sponges to re-do kitchen cabinets... they're total junk. Even for their cheap price they're not worth it. The sanding grit literally falls off the sponges when you sand with them. After sanding a few sq. ft. the sponges are all smooth with no sanding...

If Makita or Milwaukee change their batteries I'm pretty sure they would go the Dewalt "Flexvolt" route.. where the batteries are backwards compatible but you get the most out of them with a newer tool. I wonder how long Makita will keep doing their 18Vx2 tool lineup. It works well for some...

Using a drill for that won't be that useful and won't be fun. For starters die grinders and the like spin at 10K-20K+ RPM. Most drills top out around 2K. The chuck is not really designed for that sort of sideways pressure, its pretty rough on the components. A grinder would be a suitable...

FYI, I have installed literally thousands of outdoor cameras, and have never used shielded cat5/6. Shielded is a PITA to terminate and everything else. I think the only place you actually see it used in industry is things like cell towers and radio towers. Otherwise a properly grounded power...

Go deep. Menards and Home Depot also have some decent 24" deep boxes that are around the same price point as HF.

A quality jump pack can function as a car battery, they will tend to overheat though, as they are only designed to deliver short bursts of charge. I have used a large jump pack (1000A rated) to start and run a 6.0L V8 engine with no issues. I'm just saying Li-Ion batteries are kind of halfway...

Most obvious solution is an occupancy sensor wall switch such as this one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-180-Degree-Pir-Incandescent-CFL-LED-Occupancy-Detector-White-R02-IPS02-1LW/203826482 Its limited to 300 watts, so you might need a more expensive one depending on how many lights you...

Lithium Ion batteries give Ultracapacitors a run for their money. A large Li-ion battery can be charged and discharged very quickly, not as quickly as a capacitor, but quicker than lead-acid. Very slow self-discharge also. You need electronics to keep them from overheating and exploding, but...

I can't see how the Dremel Velocity is different from any other oscillating tool on the market? I have the Makita 18V oscillating tool and it does a good job. I imagine the M18 oscillating tool is quite good also. The M18 being cordless is plenty of reason to choose it over the Dremel...
