Stihl attempted to do a high end shop stool with a very nice laser etched top that was about 1.5 to 2 inch slab of oak. Heavy frame that was powder coated. Intent was to sell at 100.00 a piece. So far it have not been well received. I committed for two of them last week for 50.00 a pop. I don't...

We use a couple wraps of Teflon tape and then pipe dope. Never had an issue.

Use the largest line your head will feed. Gator line by Oregon has a kevlar thread inside. I just use regular old round .105 line with good results.

I have a Forney 190 MP that does Mig Tig and Stick. It has auto set digital control. I did a review on here on the welder. Its also a 120/220 volt machine. Can't beat it for under a grand.

Trojan will be the next company to put a reference scale on their product. Bet a lot of wives/girl friends ask why the user doesn't measure up to claims previously made.

Good info but I wonder why they didn't include Hazet or Stahlwille?

Take a look at PB Swiss. Pricey but prolly the best made.

It's interesting to see what is standard practice in different areas of the country. In my area the majority of installs are propane in unincorporated county. Plain old black pipe in ground transitioning to copper is the norm.

DTI tech tach or Stihl EDT 8 are both good tachs.

I would have a meeting with the GC ,inspector, and yourself. I would include a rep of the concrete company if they would attend. Have copies of the paper work where water was added. If the inspector has an issue I would shut the build down until it is fixed to spec. Is the GC bonded. I would be...

Mine used to be primarily American made. The last few years it's prolly 65% USA made and 35% German and Swiss. Folks are missing out if they stay with 100% USA made tools. I support American mg as much as anyone but their is a ton of affordable exception quality tools being made in Europe.

PB Swiss, Felo 400 series, Wiha 400 series and Wera in that order. Wera are good but the netter grade Felo and Wiha are in a different league imho. I use screwdrivers extensively everyday I work and the Felo and PB Swiss are better than anything I've every used including Snap On.

If it were me, I would bite the bullet and just spend once and buy a Metabo as suggested by Monte, hands down the best grinder I have ever used was a Metabo. A friend that works as a MillWright suggested a Metabo when my old faithful Makita gave up the ghost. I like it better than the 5" tailed...

If you have a yard as flat as a pool table and about the size of a postage stamp fine. If not I would pass. Stihl sells one in Europe under the Viking name. I would invest in one until they are common place, which will be years down the road. In this area we are just seeing wide spread...

I have four of the 1/4" units. A Porter Cable 20 vlt lithium, a Dewalt 12 vlt lithium, a Hitachi 10 volt lithium and old Craftsman 14 volt. I use them hard everyday the one I use the most is the Dewalt 12 vlt, I work on 2 stroke equipment everyday and it is the tool I use most often. I have to...

I have had a similar issue. I have a dairy up the road 3/4 mile. I've. Measured the power at the pole at 130 to 132 on both legs numerous times. I've had the loco out a half dozen times. They say its not unusual to be that high. Checked neutral tightness. My power will go off 2 to 4 times a day...

Hobart 700 I made by miller max cut 7/8. Clean cut 5/8. Mine has been excellent.The 500 I is probably closer to your needs and budget.

Find a little 025 or 250 Stihl. Made in the USA. Although not a pro saw its very durable and cheap to work on if it ever needs it. Before buying a used saw pull the sparkplug and inspect the cylinder walls for scoring. Pass if there is any scoring. If you have a compression gouge test the...

My cousin built his home and shop with radiant floor heat. Shopnis 40x60. I wish I had used the radiant floor heat. Super efficient, comfortable as hell if you have to get on the floor. No worries about carbon monoxide . He just used manifold to create zones. I could kick myself for not...

I had a Lincoln 140 wire feed set up on 110. Even with .030 wire and gas I wouldn't be welding on a trailer, something were poor penetration welds could result in causing harm or injury or damage to what I was hauling. I recently bought a Forney 190MP inverter style welder that will run on 110...
