I'm working on finishing my basement and have rough wired 12 gauge romex for the receptacles and lights. I'm going with 20 amp breakers on those circuits even though it isn't necessary. Is it ok to use the standard 15 amp recepts or am I inviting trouble for someone down the road by putting a...

I quote Tekton from an email promoting the remainder of the current stock: Our new, complete line of ratcheting wrenches and sets will be available later this year. The new program will include reversible, flex-head, and long flex-head double box end ratcheting wrenches, all with 12-point...

I'm all set myself but anyone researching will have another option. Very little details about them other than pictures. No COO yet but the current ones are Taiwan and it looks like they'll still be available. https://www.tekton.com/

Apparently it's an annual thing. https://newsletter.kctool.com/emails/webview/258031/92777204238255701

KC Tools Deal Of The Day. Twenty five bucks is the lowest price I've seen on them. https://www.kctool.com/tool-of-the-day/

Can I get into anything I'm not going to regret buying for five to seven hundred? I'm just a serious hobbyist getting on in age. I've had and used ****** ones and I'll make a sled for my planer rather than fighting that frustration. Anything you might recommend, and why? TIA

I got an email announcing these today. I thought I'd share the news...

I am asking for help from those wiser than myself. I'm reusing this commercial cast iron sink and pedestal in my basement project. I want to totally disassemble it so I can thoroughly clean everything and replace the seal between the sink and the pedestal. According to some schematics I have...

These look interesting. I'm not familiar with any other slim style ratcheting wrenches. I doubt I will ever pony up for them because I don't have a need but I can see these being attractive to the auto techs. https://vimtools.com/product/sar100/

Maybe not red hot but it looks interesting to me. I like the "look" of the green handles. https://www.kctool.com/

Can I branch a heater circuit before the thermostat and feed another heater/thermostat if I stay within load limits of my wire and breaker? Without turning this into a math lesson I will be staying below 3500 watts total on 12awg nmb with a 20 amp breaker. Am I off track or is this an option...

After all these years I still lose focus and get the angle wrong and blow out light gauge brads and staples. Mostly 18 gauge. I've always used end nippers or diagonals and dealt with that ****** bit left in different ways. I've been shopping around and what looks interesting to me is this...

I'm trying to satisfy the recommended watts per sq. ft. to heat what is going to amount to a finished basement shop. My point for the thread is for help understanding the ratings for the particular units. I'll use...

I'm going to buy some of the mini bolt cutters and I see multiple variations in the eight inch range. Does anyone know (other than the handles) what the differences in all the models are?

My wife replaced part of the bulbs in a set of light fixtures with led and kept some of the old bulbs in place. These are 3 bulb fixtures switched by s timer switch. When I remove a conventional bulb the led's remaining will dim. If I disconnect through the switch, the bulbs glow dimly. I'm a...

I've had this thing for years but hadn't used it in awhile and it's malfunctioning. Air escaping the exhaust and feels like the driver isn't returning. Are these things too complicated for the normal guy to diagnose and rebuild? All my years of carpentry/cabinetry and never rebuilt one.

So many unheard of brand names. I'm pretty leery of unknowns when it involves pulling, lifting, etc. But I also don't want to tie up a hundred bucks in a seldom used unit. Let's just say I want my cake and eat it too. Suggestions?
