I have read all the previous posts about jump packs, or at least all the more recent ones. I need a reliable jump pack to carry in my old car. It has a reproduction AGM battery, which isn't large enough to meet the electrical demand when I take it to a parade. I don't want to modify the car...

I have multiple Liftmaster 8500 units installed in my garage, and one of them has been giving me a problem with the light. When I open the door to the garage, I notice that the light is on, and if I hold the remote wall button in, the light will go off, but it will come back on in half an hour...

I learned about this deal at the local Lowe's store today from a friend. For $300, you get two 5-amp batteries, a battery charger, and your choice of two tools. I bought a small circular saw, router, 4 1/2"/5" grinder, a jigsaw, and four batteries. After the military discount and the Lowe's...

I have a 3 way switch in one wall that I would like to remove from service. Is there a way that I can connect the wires with a wire nut to remove it and put a flat blanking plate over the electrical box? thanks

I picked up a Rigid flaring tool at a swap meet a few weeks ago, and just got around to looking it over. The bar shows that it is 37 degrees, and the upper part is marked 45 degrees. I closely examined the pointed part of the flaring tool and it appears that the pointed part rolls around the...

I found these yesterday at a pawn shop. The price was $20 I have never seen a set this small before. Couldn't find anything about them on the forums. Are they scarce or rare?

While looking at Facebook Marketplace today, I ran across this hydraulic vise located in Reading PA, and thought that someone on these forums might be interested in it. It appears to be complete, and according to the owner, it is "rare". I did a search on eBay and there is one on there also...

I am looking for a reliable Automatic Timed Condensate Drain Valve. I see lots of units on eBay and Amazon, and they all look about the same, but I prefer to buy quality first and price second. Any recommendations? thanks, Junk

I have an attached garage to my home, and when the home was built, the garage was insulated and sheet rocked with a 5/8" fire code and then plastered. A few years later I added an additional garage onto the existing one, and what was the outside wall that has texture 1-11 on it is now the...

I have 3 Liftmaster 8500W door operators and all 3 of the master control (880LMW) will not reset after a power failure. The message on the display says to hold the button to reset, however, this will not work. I have tried unplugging the units, and they will not work from the master control...

It might be the loss of 30 minutes out of your life, it is up to you to decide.........

I haven't used this in more years than I can remember, and the instructions are missing. Might anyone have a copy of the instructions that they could post a PDF of here? thanks Junk

About 4 years ago we switched over from oil to propane boiler. So far it has been working great, and it is a lot more efficient than the old oil-fired hot air heating system. I was recently contacted by a local plumbing company that suggested that the boiler should be serviced and de-scaling...

I have 2 four panels of insulated doors in my garage, one at each end. On the rear door, the installer used a 12" radius track and a torsion bar, and on the front door, he used a 10" radius track with extension springs and a low headroom top hinge. At the time, I asked why he didn't make them...

Just about 5 years ago, we replaced the air handler and the outdoor condenser, and now that it has started to get warm, turned on the unit for the first time since last fall. It would come on and off every 30 seconds, so I shut it down and called the service company. The tech came out and put...

I am working on a 1978 Cadillac Commercial Chassis engine, and there is a 6 port thermal vacuum switch that I need a socket for. I searched eBay and found an S9840 1 1/4" socket. I looked at that one and realized that it will not accommodate the 6th vacuum ******, so I went to the next one on...

I am considering adding a replacement door opener to my existing garage door. I picked up a Liftmaster for the door today, and when I got home, I started thinking that the torsion bar is set too close to the ceiling for the installation. Can anyone tell me the part number that I am going to...

I just had a new Liftmaster 8500 Elite Jackshaft Operator installed, and I wanted to have a couple of pushbuttons added around the garage to open the door like I did when the chain drive door operator was installed 30 years ago. The installer said that this isn't possible, because there will be...

The extension spring on my overhead door broke today. Looking at the spring, it has tan paint at the end. Its collapsed length is 25", and the spring on the other side is extended out to 70". This door has a low headroom clearance adapter and it is just about impossible for me to get it up...

In one room, there is a ceiling fan that originally had a 3 way switch located at each doorway into the room. The fan switch on one wall was replaced with a regular 3 way switch, and a new fan with a fan switch was installed at the other wall switch panel. The fan works correctly using it...
