My minisplit was attacked by a falling thing, which damaged the lineset cover, and resulted in this kink in the bigger line. It continues to work, so I don't think it's leaking. Do I need to get it evacuated and replace the line? or is just replacing the insulation (with what?) and ignoring...

Walked across a college campus tonight right after a light snow. They put so much salt down the snow was all melted. Except there were a few squares where the snow had not melted. There’s no way the salt tractor could have done that. So what’s the difference? There are some areas in that...

Doing some cleaning and organizing, I discovered I have no fewer than seven 9" paint roller frames. Bog standard, you probably want a pole to go with them, frames. Plus one with a bit of telescoping pole built in. Plus hot dog roller, three narrow roller frames, a corner roller. I am not a...

I went to use my circular saw today. I remembered that I thought it cut badly the last time I used it, so I grabbed the spare blade and put it on. I can’t imagine why it didn’t cut well…..

I am about out of my last tin of sc Johnson paste wax. Since they don’t sell it anymore, what’s a reasonable alternative? I use it on oiled finishes, raw wood and machine tables.

I have several Milwaukee battery packs that don't charge. They're old, well out of warranty, and have dead or deadish cells. (I've taken a ocuple of them apart to see.) I'd like to get them rebuilt. Any suggestions on some place that rebuilds them? I have no interest in doing it myself.

I have a wire stripper like this It works great, but I needed to strip some wires I can't reach with it. or rather, I can reach them, but not reach and manipulate the tool at the same time. Does anyone make a long reach version of these things. or even with a straigh handles, not a pistol grip?

Can anyone id this connector? 3 wire positions, had a red tab thing, which broke as soon as I touched it. It's from the heater water pump on a buick regal with 2.0 ltg.

I'm looking for a all 1/4 drive metric hex socket set, from whatever up to at least 6mm, preferably 8. There are a bunch of sets that switch from 1/4 to 3/8 at 6mm, and I need a 6mm one. Probably not willing to pay snap-on money, but I don't think this is a place to cut corners, either.

I'm considering buying an electric car. So, if I do, I'll need an EVSE for the garage. I don't know much about the state of equipment, what the choices are, etc. What do people like? the garage has a 100A feed, and I can install it hardwired or an outlet and use a cord connected one. (my...

I need a set of metric tap and dies, covering the standardish range used on cars, etc. I know the general advice is "buy as you need them", but I got stuck tonight, and needed a tap I didn't have, and had to buy a garbage tap from an auto parts place. The use is mostly cleaning up existing...

I want some decent crimp terminals for general use. Rings, spades, quick-disconnect, splices, that sort of stuff, not connector pins. 10 awg would be the biggest use, 18 or 20 the low end. Basically, the red, blue, and yellow kits found in autoparts stores would cover my needs, except those...

I need some needle nose locking pliers. just general grab stuff use, probably 6" and 8-10" sizes. What's good these days? Not chinese is a big plus.

Can anyone identify the age of this marathon electric motor? It's a berkel slicer, of unknown vintage or model.
