I looked up Honda generators yesterday and haven't really found a difference between the two I'm interested in. The only differences that I can find is one has gfci oulets one one doesn't. Is this an important feature? The other is (what appears to me) to gradually ramp up the rpm based on load...

Seeing the Kidde recall and mine aren't included, I think It's time for new extinguishers. Looking at 10lb Amerex's, price aside, which would be the best for the garage. Or should I bump it to 20 pounders? https://www.grainger.com/product/compare#compareSkus%3D3YWE1%2C3YWG1%2C13J003

I've successfully lost the plastic door latch on a Siemans fuse panel. None of the big box stores can get one. The local electrical supply house doesn't sell Sieman's and the Sieman website is horrible. There is not a part number on the latch on my other panel. Any ideas where I can get one...

I have a wall 60" high by 70" wide I need to replace the drywall on. As you can see by the picture, there is a fuse panel and outlet on the left and the dryer ducting on the right. Would I hang it vertically starting from the right? First fully visible stud in the picture is approx 40" from the...

Ok, ok, I don't what to call these. They are square plastic cases(?) that slip together that taps come in. I'd like to get some more for my loose taps but don't know what they are called.

I need drawer slides for the bench, #17, but I can not find a model number anywhere. The pictures are from the Craftsman 1972 catalog. It uses the same slides as the bottom drawer of the "Sears Best" top box, which I own, but can't find a model number on it either even with all the drawers taken...

I inherited a Craftsman workbench in need of drawer slides. I looked at sears.com/craftsman and craftsman.com with no luck. I looked through Waterloo tools website also with no luck. I think it is a 70's vintage bench. The slides are about 13 7/8" long. I found what I think it is in a 68 Sears...

What's the difference between a plug tap and a taper tap? I need to tap some LS rocker covers, but there is a metal shield below the hole. Or, would a bottom tap be ok to start cutting the thread or use either a plug or taper tap to start and finish with the bottom tap? Thanks.

I have an old Starrett micrometer that shows 0.001" when closed. It has no. 230 on the part that rotates. How to I zero ii? Thanks Mark

I'm going to relpace the carpet in my kitchen with vynil floor tiles. Each tile measures 36" x 12". How would I determine a straight line so as not to end up with a tapering width last row of tiles? The room is approx 9' x 9' with counters and cabinets on two of the sides.

I've finished my first attempt at hanging and mudding drywall. I've got the joints sanded. Before I paint it what should I do to make sure it is flat? Should I apply any sort of sealer before paint or use a primer? The walls were previously wall papered. If I went back to wall paper, would this...

I just got my first credit card that has the rfid chip in it. Call me paranoid, but I don't like carrying the thing around with me with the information on it easily stolen. Does any one have any suggestions on which of those rfid blocking sleeves I see advertised are better than another? Maybe...

I'm replacing the drywall in one of the rooms in the house. I've sealed the holes with some spray foam. After I install the insulation, do I need to put a vapor barrier on before te drywall? There wasn't any barrier when I removed the old drywall, then again, the house was built in 1959. If I...

Had the hvac company come do the spring maintainence check on my central a/c. The tech came up with a list of things I should consider doing in the future. I'm not sure if the prices are reasonable, or even if necessary. So, here goes: EZ start device $175, locking caps $125- these I looked up...

Brand new Snap-on rainbow computer stand/tool box. This is the one you see on the Snap-on truck with all the different colored drawers. It is brand new and still sealed in the original shipping box and pallet just as I received it. The one pictured is my used one that is in my garage just to...

We're looking to replace our John Beam visualiner with a new unit. I'm leaning towards a Hunter Hawkeye. The JB software wasn't written to accurately work with the -3+ degrees of camber we sometimes use. We've compensated for it using a level and ruler to determine camber, but that is not 100%...
