I have two what I call no name lithium jumper boxes. They were both Amazon purchases and around 120 each. I used them the other day to start one of my older fun cars and one would not give me any juice to the battery and the other would only give me juice for about 15 seconds at a time. I was...

I have a need for a mag drill. There seem to be many chuck types offered. A Morse Taper, Weldon, RotaLoc etc… I will be using an annular cutter drilling mostly 3/4 to 1” holes. Most plate will be A36 1/2 to 3/4” thick. I would occasionally need a larger or smaller hole in a thicker or...

To be clear this will be fully engineered (what ever system I go with) so I am not trying to short cut that. Right now I am looking at pricing and different options such as masonry, ICCF, pre fab and a full blown steel structure. Prefab may need to many mods to be cost effective. Could I get...

I am building a repair shop from the ground up and looking for some input on the attached layout. My lot is about 180' wide by 190' deep. As of now I only have only front access to the building. I could increase the depth of the building and make it shorter and have a front and back...

I am looking hard and heavy at a metal building that will be permitted, need engineering, and be built in MS. The area I am erecting this does not allow for the typical metal siding, and they require something else as a facade such as Stucco, Brick, Hardie Plank, etc.. It will be around 50 by...

I am pretty sure I have a leak at one of the high side service ports where the line is sweated into the back of the valve. I pulled a cover off and I see some oil at one of the fittings. Is there any hope of fixing the valve? Does the unit need to be evacuated or are the two larger valves at...

I am getting ready to paint the exterior of my house in Hawaii and have a few questions. I will be using Benjamin Moore Aura or Regal in a soft gloss. Price on the island is within a few dollars for either. I will be spraying the house with a Graco 395 airless. The current color of the...

I know there are Pro’s for staying with the Same manufacturer thus the below question. Due to HOA regulations I need to use a Malarkey Shingle. The local supply house has the Legacy shingles in stock but they have the lowest tier of underlayment. This is the secure start SG. They however...

What is the best way to handle this situation? I have a roof line that is shown in the attached picture. When starting shingles at the lower edge of the roof and going up the rake what does the detail look like where it says “what happens here” as the spacing does not allow for all the rows...

In accordance with the FMC thread. Before you all say I should have pulled it at once I have 2 runs of pipe so I pulled one and waiting on the other. I pulled 4 awg THHN for the two hots. I plan on pulling one more 4 for the neutral. Total run length from panel to Gfci breaker is 71’ The...

I have a 3/4 run of FMC about 65’ long. The run is pretty straight and flat with only a few gentle bends in it. It runs through an attic that is not really accessible. There is an EMT 90 at each end with a FMC to EMT compression fitting. I have an Ideal Fish Tape that is 125’ with a...

I have an older walker 3t I believe 50’s or 60’s. I had the cylinder rebuilt many years ago by a reputable shop. It worked great for a few months but then started getting what I would call stiff. At the time it was not used very often and life happened so it sits unused for periods of time...

Looking to sell all as a lot. USPS Priority mail shipping included. US only. PayPal FF or Venmo. $85 for the lot. Unpacking from the move and organizing and I have looked at these items long enough. The 1/2 craftsman ratchet seems good, but the direction pawl is broken. The snap on...

In looking at cut-sheets of pumps most manufactures give a HP range the pump will work with. Am i correct in thinking that the pump pulley is the same size and the motor pulley is what changes size relative to the HP? For example a QR 350 shows to need 5 to 15 HP and has a rpm range of 400 to 940.
