    Anyone know what type of water quick disconnect this is? Wet sander.

    I have this wet sander, but need to find a mating end for this connection to be able to hook up a water supply. Seems like other wet sanders have the same connection, but can seem to find anyone selling the mating end.

    Any reason someone would install an outlet but cut the ground off?

    Should have took a picture. Been working at my mom’s rental, someone re wired the house at one point. I pulled an outlet out to change it to a white one instead of ivory. The ground wire on the 12-2 romex was cut off and not connected to outlet. 3prong outlet. Went to pull another, same...

    I have a small man lift cart that uses 4-6v batteries, any reason I can’t use 2-6v and 1-12v?

    I have a crown wave lift. It has 2 new 6v batteries in it, but the other 2 took a dump. Any reason I can’t just use a 12v battery instead of the 2 6v? I don’t need a long runtime, only use it for a few minutes at a time. Basically comes down to the cost, each 6v is $220, where I can get a...

    Home alarm battery backup issue

    I have a wired Honeywell system, it was installed with 2 12v 10ah batteries, one for the control board, one for the motion and glass sensors. Problem I have is that the sensor battery drains way faster and sets the alarm off in a power outage. I am thinking just wiring the 2 batteries in...

    Want to verify this SER wire

    There is not enough sheath to see the wire size out. 3 conductors, one bare ground. I think it’s 4/0 4/0 4/0 -2/0 but want to double check as I can’t find any local to buy, so would have to order it. I only need 10ft. I guess my other option would be buying single 4/0 wire? All they sell...

    Want to add another 50a circuit to this full panel for EV charger, but i am not finding a breaker combo that will get the job done.

    Posting here for to thoughts on what to do. Panel is full already and has some odd breaker sizes which make it even harder to mess with. I know I can buy a quad breaker 2-15 1-50, that will free up one slot from an existing 2-15 breaker and add the 50a that I need. Problem is I still need one...

    How are you all hanging or storing garden tools?

    Have a bunch of shovels, pick axes, weed wackers. Want to get then off the ground, but easy to access when needed. I don’t have walls in my shed, so maybe a track system?
