    Accurate thermometer

    Does anyone make a truly accurate thermometer these days? I mean they are all labeled 'accurate' on the packaging but if there is more than one on the shelf at the store, none of them read the same. :headscrat Makes it tough to know what is right if you don't have a true and accurate reference...

    Miter box or hand miter saw

    I have some small pieces of molding I need to cut and prefer not to have my hands that close to a spinning blade so I was searching for a nice miter box or hand miter saw. Other than the cheap plastic things, seems the big box stores don't carry much and what they do carry don't get very good...

    Nailers - 23 ga pinner

    Shopping for a pinner and thinking I would like one that shoots slight head pins as well as headless but it seems the slight head pins aren't too common? HF has a super cheap headless only pinner and I may give it a try but also found some other big brand name tools that won't break the bank...

    Compound Miter Saw Suggestions

    I'm thinking of getting rid of my old 10" 2hp Craftsman chop saw mainly due to the fact that it has a cast base and is -heavy-! I don't have a dedicated area to use it so I have to lug it around to where I need it and it is a beast. Thinking about a sliding compound saw replacement but never...

    3.6v tools

    I have a Black and Decker 3.6v handheld grass trimmer and the batteries are about shot but nothing wrong with the trimmer. Of course replacement batteries are about as much as a new tool so I was wondering if there is a cheaper way using better battery technology to make a small battery pack to...

    Outswing door

    I'm considering installing an outswing door in my garage, but since they seem to be as rare as hens teeth, it's next to impossible to get information much less see a door in person without ordering and prepaying. Could anyone be kind enough to post some pictures of your outswing door and...

    Switch height - NEC code

    Not in my garage but I wish. ;) Obviously the builder wasn't concerned with aesthetics and took the easiest way out when wiring the rheostat for the fireplace blower, :headscrat but now that I'm in a major remodeling phase, I want to tear out the existing tile, add a mantel and fireplace...

    What happened to cheap T8 fixtures?

    So a year or so ago my T12's started failing, went to the big box stores and was told the T12's are being phased out and no longer available. Picked up what they had in stock, T8's and replaced all of my T12. I had one T8 fail, went back to get a replacement and all they have in stock now is...

    This may take a little work, you'll have to pull out the DVM and measure, ;) but what is the battery voltage when tender/charger is in maintain mode? Over the years I've had several brands a the voltage ranges from 12.7 vdc - 13.2 vdc. I was told a good battery will have a voltage of ~12.6 vdc...

    I searched but didn't see a related thread about PASS/FAIL experiences with company customer service so pardon me if this has already been discussed. For me, knowing how a company handles problems would be a big consideration when making a purchase. This information I'd like to know -before- I...
