    Recommendations to install a ceiling fan @ 20'?

    I'm wanting to buy and install a new 84" ceiling fan in our great room. Room is 22'x17' 20' ceiling as in the subject. Feel free to give thoughts as to the size. ie too big? Maybe a 72? What is the most common way to safely get up that high? I've done fans, but this is a bit sketchy...

    Another Check My Wiring request.

    I searched, but came to the conclusion that while you may see something similar, electricity is just too dangerous to settle on. I installed a double gang box in place of a single gang in a GFCI series of outlets. I had the IN wire (supply side) and another OUT wire to the next box in the...

    2020 Christmas List under $100

    If there's one of these already I didn't see it. So all year long I'll buy what tools I need. Usually. Then comes Christmas and I lock up when I'm forced to make a list. I hate asking for stuff. And if I haven't bought it yet, it's likely I'm not done researching it or I'm on the fence...

    What kind of oil do you put in your oiler cans?

    I don't have any, but am asking for one for Christmas. If you just had one what kind would it be? I have 3 in 1 and a few different lubricants on the shelf already. So what makes a good GP oil? I have cutting oil that's in its original plastic bottle. But I don't use it often. What say the...

    Transfer Punch Set Recommendation

    I really wish I knew these existed or done research first. Anyway, any recommendations for a good set of these? Amazon has some, but what say you all? Can these be lumped in with most punch sets? Any set should do?

    Which pressure washer?

    So I'm looking at some Simpson washers and have narrowed it down to two. What I really need is a realistic choice between a Honda GC vs GX motor and an Axial Cam pump or a Triplex pump. Obviously I'd love to do the GX with a triplex pump but is it really necessary over the slightly cheaper...

    How strong is a rivnut?

    I've done some digging (searching) around in here and still had a few questions... I'm looking at installing some L Track in my truck bed for tie downs and to bolt a mount for a Hi Lift Jack. I'll likely use the stainless bolts they sell for the bed rails, as I can put washers and really clamp...

    Wera 300 Series Model Numbers??

    So I'm curious if anyone can tell me the difference between some of the model designations on the Kraftform 300 Series. I'd like to understand the difference so I can know what I need when I decide to buy. I know there are couple of Wera guys out here. Theres little difference in...

    Klein Laser Level?

    Anyone have one of these? It looks really good for the money. Also if you have used anything similar, when you get it set at the approximate height, is there a way to fine tune the X Y lines to get them where you want? Or do you have to move the whole level to get the proper X Y axis on the...

    Klein NCVT-2 acting strange...

    So I'm troubleshooting strings of x-mas lights and I'm using the NCVT to locate the problem bulbs in the strands. The VT will seem to act fine and reliably detect current, then It will get flaky and seem not to detect consistently at all when nothing has changed. Also it will beep when shaken...

    It a Knipex Christmas! Most versatile Knipex to start the collection?

    Alright, so I'm going to ask for some Knipex pliers from Santa. I'll tell you what I have and what I think I will definitely ask for but feel free to chime in on the type and maybe the size of pliers you feel you have to have. I snuck off and got a 10" Pliers Wrench the other day to test the...
