I think it may be a press of some sort. I’m not sure as it may not be complete. It came from an old air conditioning business. The names Manley and Troy are cast into it The unpainted portion at the bottom of the pic is a mounting base. It has 4 mounting ears 1 is broken. Re the 2 “jaw” sides...

Today I picked up several florescent fixtures to convert to LED (my remaining fixtures are not convertible). The guy who had them told me he had LEDs put up in his shop and I said I’m doing ballast delete LED conversions. His reply is why I posting this. He said “you can’t” and suggested that...

I want to get a welder so I can teach myself to weld. I would probably just be doing small tasks with it. There is a Linde 230 welder available for under $100. I believe this is an arc welder but not sure – can someone here verify that? Also, I presume it is a 220 volt welder. My question on...

Just wondering if Harbor Freight has done away with the 20% off any one item coupons. I have a few things I want to pick up when I'm near there next week.

I'm going through some air fittings I have and found this Parker quick connect coupling with the number 15 stamped on it. The Parker site hows a similar coupling but it has a knurled body. As my picture attempts to show mine isn't knurled but grooved. Maybe its just a minor design change or...

I figure y'all can easily answer this question. I'm planning on running a couple additional air lines and have a couple steel Lincoln quick disconnect fittings. Problem is one is stuck - the part that should slide back to disconnect doesn't move. Since I don't know what is inside I'm not sure if...

I broke 2 a couple weekends ago removing over tightened lug nuts. The 3/8 was possibly a bit small for the job but the 1/2 should have been ok. I did use a cheater bar with both. Both of the broken bars had pins for pivots but it looks like they began to bend where the pin was attached on either...

I need to get a welder so I can teach myself to weld. There is a Craftsman Arc welder available for $100, model 113.201260 (I believer 113 is an Emerson product), 40 to 230 amp range. It is complete and works. Is this a good welder for someone new to welding? Thank you for your input

Does anyone her have a link or info on figuring out the appropriate sizing of a natural gas home furnace (without A/C)? I’m looking to establish what BTU rating the house needs and there is conflicting info out there. The unit in our house is ancient (1979 possibly) and has been modified...

Like the title says . . . Who Makes The "Best" Duct Tape? I searched and got way too many possible threads. I'm using the term "Duct Tape" as it is a common term, but my usage will not be on any ducts at this point. I/we used to refer to it as 200MPH tape too. I don't recall the brand I got...

Harbor Freight recalls Pittsburgh 6 Ton Jack Stands https://www.consumeraffairs.com/recalls/harbor-freight-recalls-pittsburgh-automotive-6-ton-heavy-duty-steel-jack-stands-033120.html

Saturday I picked up a working (it goes up) Walker Roll-A-Car 740 G mechanical jack via CL. I actually first saw it posted back in December 2018 for $55, but by the time I had time to go get it the ad was gone. Then earlier last week it popped up again for $40. I offered $35 – done. I have a...

Yes it is your typical almost useless Craigslist ad with not nearly enough info. But it is also something I don't recognize. :headscrat The ad says" "It's missing the motor but the blade is still sharp. It is belt driven." If it is a "lathe" it seems to be missing more than the motor...

I need a pair of general (hiking, garage, yard, semi-daily) usage boots. I was in Wal-Zoo the other day and saw their Brahma boot display. There is a model (Brock) that looks like it fits what I’m looking for and fits into my budget for them. I already have a pair of steel toe boots so for this...

This is regarding the outlets on our small well house/shed (3 outside 1 inside). They have rarely been used but with our weather becoming colder (more often below 25), earlier and longer we need to put heat tape on the well pipes. Simple enough but, the inside outlet is a 2 prong (#4 in the...

There is a used Delta GR150 available near me wondering what are y'alls thoughts / experiences with them. Thank you

I was on youtube the other day and noticed a video about this type of deburring bit it looks to be useful for some things I do. In looking for one to try out all I could find on eBay were cheap (price-wise) versions. I did a cursory search for info here but didn't find anything. Have any of...

Our laundry machines are in the unheated garage. Until the last few years it wasn’t a problem with the pipes just being insulated. Now it is, we are getting hard freezes, so I need to do a heat tape set up. My experience is from when I worked in the mountains of Colorado one winter. When we...

I’ve posted previously about trying to find a 9’ wide x 7’ tall garage door to replace my current very heavy wooden rolling (to the side) door. That size in a regular door seems to be a bit unusual around here. But, I have come across a decent looking used 8’ wide x 7’ 4” tall door. Obviously it...
