    This look safe?

    If I weld (well) the tire hanger to a larger piece of angle (2x2x1/8) do you feel this spare tire hanging method would be adequate? Pic of my welding "skill" and the project for reference... I don't want the tire mount U-bolt draping off the angle as I want the top to remain flat for the...

    1/2 deep impact socket sets

    Seems the first half of the smaller sizes would never be used. 10mm 1/2 impact. Really? Ya'll ever use that? Know of any sets that start at a more reasonable size and maybe goes a size or three larger? Or maybe I'll spring for a 3/4 set and use an adapter. Or maybe I'll just buy one socket as I...

    Circuit to a shed (with a twist)

    The twist is that I only need/want 120v to this shed. Couple lights and an outlet for a mower trickle charger. ~100' away from house. I have some 10/2 wG UF. Will this work on a 20a breaker from house? Do I need a breaker box/disconnect, isolated ground and ground rod at the shed? Or just...

    Sub Panel Placement

    In image, a wall/hall will come towards camera where the 2x is leaning. Should sub panel go into first cavity or second? First means door on panel can't open all the way but will open more than 90 degrees. In this location wires will be easier to pull in crawl space. Second cavity allows...

    Testing s Switch

    Switch is off a Shopvac. I had to hold it down for it to work. It is buried under a heavy rubber cover that I thought may have just been limiting travel. Have it apart now (I'm better at mech stuff than elec...). Where do I place ohm meter prongs to test switch for continuity.

    Questions on torch set

    What do I have here?! Is it worth the $$ to get regulators and tanks if I think I may want to use these? Recommend good value regulators, please. What is possible value as it sits? Is that a date stamp on hose? If it's 1999 mfg date are they ok to use?

    Info on a Craig's List purchase

    Bought this Reelcraft this weekend. Model 6450-ELP. Can't find info for it on their website. Any of you know anything? Age, value, etc. Will the cast mounting base be OK mounted upside down? It is in pretty decent condition. Images added versus link.
