I didn't plan on posting this but after putting it together and observing the quality of the hardware I am impressed with it. Even the included hex key has a nice chrome finish that is actually worth keeping. The wheels and bolts are very nice also! Looks better in person then the picture on the...

I finally have almost everything I need to pressure test my spare parts and pull a vacuum. I want to keep the best one for myself and sell the rest. This week I got in a used JB vacuum pump and a nitrogen kit. What is the best way for me to seal off the evaporator and condenser for testing...

I just got in the mail today the Craftsman 10 pc. Flare Nut Wrench Set with BONUS 16 X 18 mm Wrench. It is great quality set and USA made stamped V^(2nd V inverted). I took it over to my neighbors house to compare to his Snap On set and I noticed I am missing a 1/4 x 5/16. My neighbor is a...

I will call this a Rebel install because I am using a brand that does not seem too popular yet. It is much cheaper then the mainstream Japanese brands which could give one pause due to the low price, but based on my research I think it is worth the risk. Here are some positives and FAQ's that...

I was working in the garage all day today. When I walked in the house it felt warmer then the garage. So I turned down the A/C and went back outside. At the A/C Condensing Unit all I heard was a loud humming noise and the fan was not turning. I have to leave town tomorrow for work so I am...

I tried to replace some Kobalt side cutters today that has a broken spring and they gave me trouble and wouldn't replace it. The guy looked at it and said we don't carry that on our shelf. (I found it in a bundle pack but not by itself.) Then he took it from me and pressed it open and closed...

I am not sure how old this is but I don't see that Sears offer a box end exactly like this anymore. One side is locked up. Can I soak it and get it working again by just working some penetrating fluid in it? Or should I drill the rivets out and use a nut and bolt to put it back together? The...

I was preparing for our latest winter storm and changed the wick and purchased some Kerosene. The last time I used the heater I noticed the wick would not raise high enough and after changing the wick I still have the same problem. I really took my time to make sure everything was perfect and...

Found some good deals at Northern Tool yesterday. I got a socket light that lights up the inside of your socket so you can see in hard to reach places! Very cool for only $2.50. The tube bender was just $3. And I got a ignition tester for around $2.50 also.

I couldn't resist to pick up this ignition tester for $2.50 clearance at Northern Tool yesterday. But how does it work? Here is a picture, you can see a heat cone (insulator) but no center electrode. Is it hidden deep but still can spark to the ground and become visible? Or is it defective...
