    Long Runs - 12/2 or Another Sub Panel?

    I had the impression the OP would be doing home runs with 12/2, not 60-70 feet of 14/2 with 4 outlets along that span. This could make a difference. To me, the bigger question is the 120v versus 240v need. The subpanel allows both options but requires 60 feet of expensive 6/3. Have to weigh...

    Amazon Deals on New Retail Items - Post them!

    I think if you replace the cord, the outlets, the wiring inside and the case with better parts, it will be fine.

    Long Runs - 12/2 or Another Sub Panel?

    I would probably just buy a 250’ roll of 12/2. That should get you 4 outlets 20A each. If you need 240V on the other side, I would probably do the subpanel. I am just a DIYer not an electrician but I have run a few thousand feet of wire.

    Would I regret a 4 post lift?

    Assuming 4 post is the only option. If either 2 or 4 post are options, there are threads discussing the pros and cons of each. I definitely agree either is better than no lift.

    Recommendations for a leaf blower?

    I have the M18 blower and the 2x M18 blower. The former is fine for a patio but that is it. The latter is too heavy. I recommend a 40v or stronger blower.

    Would I regret a 4 post lift?

    I had a 2 post for 10 years, moved and can’t easily have a 2 post in the current carriage house so I bought a 4 post. I prefer the 2 post but try to make the best out of the 4 post. I did buy one that goes up 7’ so it is not in the way when not in use, and I raised the ceiling so I can have a...

    What’s your favorite snow shovel?

    I have one of the bent handle ergonomic shovels among others and was using it in some deep snow. By the time I had to lift 4 plus feet to dump the snow, I wished I had brought a regular shovel. The wall of snow ended up over 5 feet high. Was using a blower as well but in a 2 foot wide dead end...

    New 2 Post 8 Arm Lift

    Maybe for dropping the subframe with engine and trans and suspension attached. Big lift carts are expensive but still much less than a $30k lift if that is really what it costs.

    Tall four post lift inquiry

    I have seen parking lifts in some condo buildings. Not sure if they are made by the usually lift makers, some of whom make homeowner grade parking lifts. Some are single post. No idea of the dimensions, though.

    Tall four post lift inquiry

    Have to look at drive through widths as well with trucks but you can fold the mirrors in. Maybe the 14k lifts have more suitable dimensions than the 8-9K lifts.

    Milwaukee Forge 6.0

    The Forge are lighter so the 8ah won’t tire you with the grinder but it is still bulky if that is an issue.

    Milwaukee Forge 6.0

    For me $25 per AH is too much. I have 2 Forge 12AH and 2 Forge 8AH. Bought them on sale and paid $15 per AH or maybe slightly less. Wait for a sale. They are better. I notice particularly with my pack out M18 vacuum box.

    What are you putting underneath? An off road Mercedes Sprinter van?

    Getting tired of Hansen socket organizers. Westling looks tempting. Any Westling users here?

    I might look for socket organizers that leave less gaps between the rows. My drawer is getting full. Have Hansen style now.

    Why Li Ion Scares the **** Out of Me

    I have not yet experienced any problems with lithium batteries in phones, power banks, lithium jumper packs, cameras, flashlights, battery powered tools, and two cars that use them for starter batteries. But there obviously can be problems since warning labels are required for shipping them...

    Saw a 7mm wrench for sale. Where would you use one?

    I am not able to loosen or tighten the brake bleeder screw with the bleed hose still attached to the top using a ratchet. Sometimes hose clamps are in very awkward places where there is not space for a ratchet. I have 6, 7, 8, and 9 mm wrenches and use them occasionally when sockets don’t fit...

    Lowered cars and 4 post rolling jacks

    I have Bendpak RJ-45 low profile version that is de-rated to 3500 lbs, I think. It is a little over 2 inches above the runners as I recall. There is a thread on low profile bridge jacks, I think, with some pictures showing measuring tapes and jacks so you can see the height. I can get my lowered...

    Usually takes me 3 tries to get the hole in the right place so I am not qualified to answer.
