Should a humidifier be making water as a byproduct? Ours that is hooked up to the new clean room produces overv80 gallons of water daily...for a week and then it's fine. It's winter here and a warm one at that...but its been below zero lately... Thanks. Frank

We see pics of tools all the time on here. Most of the time they are nicely laid out and polished and shiny. Let's see those same tools at their best. Let's see your tools in action! It's a PITA to stop what you're doing to take a pic but worth it!

Just saw this on a DeWalt brushless impact wrench use and care guide. Granted most of the stuff on here is disclaimer material and pretty generic... I use the variable speed all the time even with a 3 speed drill and haven't had any problems yet. it says use only when starting holes and...

I have come to know, love, and appreciate good quality pliers. Channellocks, SK pliers, Klein's, Leatherman to name a few. Knipex pliers are growing inside of my tool bag. Blue handles are being replaced with red, and USA with GERMANY. Some blue handles kept their spot, while the red ones turned...

I recently built a "ranch style??" Porch on my home and am down to the finishing touches. I'm constantly looking for inspiration, I really want to make it nice, but also unique. I need elements that speak to my personality. The deck is 36" from grade at its highest point, code here requires...

Anyone know why my 6 1/2 and 7 1/4 battery saws have the motor on the right of the blade vs the left? I enjoy a great line of sight like a worm drive but with half the bulk. Also, blade rotation is CW vs CCW and the blades are designed accordingly, although I have older 6 1/2 blades from...

What is the better box in your opinion? Which is sturdier? I have an older Waterloo 41" build quality is decent although friction slides on all drawers but the top one. I know a lot of guys like the hf boxes, and at my work there are 4 guys each pushing their own us general service cart on a...

They say sharing is caring. They told us as kids to share our toys. Now I'm a grown-up and I say I don't care, I'm not sharing my toys anymore! We both work at the same joint. If I can buy the tools I need to make life easier for myself then so can they. Besides, I keep allowing them to use my...

Decided to see how the 10" Channellock Griplock pliers would hold up in a torture test with the infamous grade 8 bolt. This is a small, 3/8" shank bolt with a 9/16" hex, and 1.5" in length. The test was simple: stack the bolt to the top with grade 5 nuts with matching thread size, and put it in...

Bought these blades a few months back. Usually use the bi metal Diablo or Milwaukee. Both make great blades. These carbide tipped blades however are amaZing. BUT.... they'll run you about 10 bux a blade for the 9". Overall great blades.

The American Restoration show's introduction says it all. A man's workbench tells a story. Along with scattered tools and works in progress, I have a small random collection of trinkets that add to the story. Do you have such collections that share a space with your tools? If so I'd love to hear...

Does anybody have one of these saws? You can cut through a 12" beam I guess, and they have models that fit your sidewinder circ saw and also your worm drive...for well under $200 bucks I'm looking at getting one...
