Likewise, I have had many a shovel give up the ghost, fighting the never ending rocky conditions wherever I need to move dirt. I bought one of the cobalt trenching shovels because I needed a trenching shovel that day. I was so impressed I followed up with a round nose and it took the torment so...

A lot larger, that settles my confliction. Now I wonder if i am going to start seeing those things every time I go into a box store or electrical house, like I start hearing a word all the time once I learned of it claiming I had never heard it before.

I am missing something. OP said welder had a unique plug but the adapter appears to provide a standard 120V connection to a 50RV outlet. So the adapter is not dropping the neutral, it is dropping one hot leg of the RV outlet. If the welder is 220V then I have misinterpreted the picture. It sure...

OSI foam doesn't seem to have the expansion to the point it would cause a problem around the edge. I have used it over the years in all sorts of situations and it doesn't push very hard. For example I have never had a window sash tighten up by squirting foam around the outside void around the...

I have two metal non-insulated garage doors, that I am willing to invest some time in to get them insulated. Not necessarily needing kit or something that are aimed at the quick and easy market unless it is truly great at insulating. The NASA Tech kit seems to be legit in that it creates a...

Extra work doesn't bother me either, especially when I find out my bastardized work avoidance scheme would turn out to be even more work.

Ha, I just did a read up on direct burial junction boxes I was aghast when I saw one video where there were open terminal connections in the box, like you see in panels. Something doesn’t fit. I have never seen conduit that did not get wet inside, even if well sealed, because of condensation...

The cost isn’t killing me, just more work. But before I ordered the wire I dared ask. Thanks.

I need to move a 12x16 shed about 30’ from its current location. It has 40 amp 220v underground power connected to meter base 50 feet away, either 6 or 8 ga in 1 1/4” pvc conduit. I use it as a shop for mower, tractor and other dirty projects including welding and grinding. Is there anyway to...

I have the Nupula and another similar with a cupped. They stay on my tractor which is usually around where I am digging. Extremely useful tools. Some times the cupped one works when I am clearing dirt around a stump or footing. Other places the Nupula seems to do the trick. If I could have just...

Yes they sit on a shelf of stand in a corner taking up very little space. They serve a purpose for someone who cannot man handle large sheets on a table saw and/or who absolutely does not have storage space for one in their garage. And you can get some absolutely clean splinter/chip free cuts...

I might try the tool lees flange down the road but for now I am sticking with the high torque model. Metabo’s offering QUICK on their less popular models. Along with that Metabo along with every other brand makes it just about impossible to figure out what the differences are among the models...

I would definitely not try to get a seal on both sides. Outside to keep water and air out or if that can’t be done then inside to keep air out of interior space. I have seen lots of wood rotted from being sealed so enclosed that it couldn’t air out from condensation, wicking etc.

Sometimes it turns out you can't get what you want. At first I was concerned with lesser RPM of the high torque model Metabo but thinking about it a bit aided by comments here I fell in love with the idea of the lower 9600 RPM being perfect when I would go to 6" disks getting the equivalent...

Ha�� I had already made my peace with 9600 limit because it looked like I could do what you did by swapping in 6” guard for cut off disks. You verified it. It will be interesting to see how 5” vs 6” grinding disk works out on Bush hog blades

It seems I am not likely to have buyers remorse with the variable speed Metabo 2800-9600 RPM grinder, they call a High Torque model. In all the comments above I don't recall any thing that would cause me to want to upgrade to a more expensive unit that does 2800-11000. just to get an extra 1400 RPM.

Tanks for the comment about flap disks. I have just recently started using them, just got stuck in the dark ages somewhere.

I have come to the point that I need to add to my grinder capability, The little Makita 4" I have had for 25 years doesn't measure up any more. It has been awesome for what it was. I do mostly odd jobs, large mower blades, small welding projects, an occasional concrete groove, never use for...

You can have one inside unit that ducts to two or three rooms if they are all adjacent. I had thought that I would put a unit in ceiling of closet in a bed room that then access the adjacent through the wall with one duct, and through back of closet wall into a hallway and into the bedroom...

Now there's an idea.
