Hi all, what I assume is a "simple question" I have an attic fan with two control switches and I want to change from the silver/chrome faceplates to a light almond to match the other switches. The two switches are 1) 12 hour timer 2) fan speed control I don't even need to change the actual...

So, I hane noticed my Porter cable 20V tools have started dying. In the past year my jigsaw, circular saw, and now 18 gauge nailer have all given up the ghost. This is a little under half of the tools I own for the system. The drills and drivers still seem rock solid, but unfortunately other...

I am helping some friends rewire some lights in a commercial space in a basement. The building was built in 1908 and electrified after that. Currently, the wiring going to the lights is bx cable without a ground, but it is in the floor joists in the ceiling (in drilled holes in the joists)...

Hi all, anyone have an idea or source for this breaker? I need 3 and I am at the point of buying from ebay. I bought the last ones from Amazon it seems, Lowes are all out, home Depot is empty, can't find them at Menards. Seems this is some major unobtanium. Any help/stuff laying around your...

Apologies if this was discussed somewhere and my searches didn't find it: I am installing a sub panel to my garage, and I am planning on running 2-2-2-4 stranded aluminum service line. Simple question is, what tool do I need to cut this after I run it? Do I need the two handed cutters? Or will...

Hi All, back with another question I currently have the Porter Cable 20V Lithium (what Lowes used to sell) ecosystem. I have roughly 10 tools and 6 batteries. Most everything is going strong and in good shape. I know that Porter Cable is being discontinued at Lowes, and as such I am...

At the risk of creating a small war on the forum..... I am looking to upgrade my ratchets. I currently have chanelock 72tooth that came in a set 10 plus years ago. I love them, but I was thinking of treating myself to a bit of an upgrade. I have been looking at the F80 ratchets, but am other...

Hi All, Forgive me for perhaps posting this in the wrong place, BUT I came across this on Facebook Marketplace today, and I reached out to the guy. I have no clue if he will respond, but in the mean time, I thought I would possibly ask you guys for an Idea on valuation/an offer to make if he...

So after reading the forums pretty thoroughly, I decided that we desperately needed another ICON Tool Box Thread 😊 This one is a bit different though, I have actually purchased (though not received, more on that later) an ICON box set-up. I figured maybe there would be value/interest in a...
