    Straighten or remove this elbow on a pressure washer reel

    This was factory installed. I can't see any type of thread locker on it. I tried holding the brass part with a pipe wrench and using a wrench to tighten to make it parallel with the side of the reel. I also tried to unscrew it. Both without success. I do not have any way to heat the joint...

    I'd like to find a storage reel for 100 ft of 0.75 OD pressure washer hose. Really would just like a reel with a stand without any pressure washer connections. I use the 100 footer a couple times a year. A 50 ft is used most of the time. Something that looks like this would be great...

    Tiny Tach issue

    I've been using these for years and have never run into the issue that arose today. I have one on a 13 HP Honda. Been on that engine for several years (OK, 14). It still shows #'s so the battery isn't dead. I always buy direct as they recommend. Anyway, today the tack registered 1 hour use...

    Pressure washer hose

    Does anyone use the 3/8" Flexilla 50' hose ? This has the 3/8 inch connectors and isn't the small 1/4" hose with M22 connectors. I can't find a you tube review of this one - only the 1/4" version. My current hose works but it is stiff, hard to coil up and when stretched out, it wants to...

    Best 18mm snap blade utility knife

    I've been using the cheap plastic ones but they soon lose the ability to lock the blade either open or closed and thus are difficult and unsafe to use. Usually throw them away long before I use all of the blades. Looking for a better made one. Prefer the 18mm blade. What would you suggest?

    Fence Repair

    I have a section of aluminum fence where the bracket holding it to the post came loose. I took the fence section out and the screw (should have been 2) evidently chewed out the threads in the post and backed itself out. May have been stripped when the fence was installed. It was a small 1/2...

    I have the air compressor and it has always been a pain for me to move it around. It is about 36" tall. The handle makes it hard to balance the unit and roll it around as I have to be in sort of a crouched position to reach the handle especially after tipping the unit to get it onto it's feet...

    I was using a non impact rated socket adapter on my Bosch impact and the adapter broke with the "connection" end still in the quick change bit holder. Any way to get this out? I assume it has twisted slightly and has thus locked itself inside. When I push the end of the quick change like you...
