In theory...if a person is using 12V landscape lights, can he power them with a 12V car battery? Specifically, 12V MR16 halogen bulbs? The bulbs themselves don't say anything specific, just that they are 12V. I'm not knowledgeable enough about how a transformer converts 120V down to 12V and what...

I'm working on a project to have a display piece at the base of my flagpole. I've never had a light out there (so I don't fly the flag as often as I like), but would like ideas as to illuminating both the flag at the top of the 15' pole, and the item at the bottom of the pole. I thought about a...

I have a 3" hole in a tractor hood that I want to enlarge to 4-1/2". What would be the best way to go about this and have it look proper? Or should I say, what equipment would be needed and what type of place should I be looking for to do it? Thanks

No clue how this ended up a duplicate. Disregard this post.

Hmmmm...pain in the a** attachments...

A buddy stopped in the other day, said how come your house is turning green? I'm like wtf? He said go look. The north side of my house is starting to get a green tint on the siding. White aluminum siding. I'm guessing the cold wet weather we've been having, combined with the fact the sun never...

I'm in the market for a set of 1/4" drive chrome metric sockets. Both shallow and deep. 6 point. Been looking at SK, Armstrong, and Blue Point. Would like decent quality without the SO price. USA made would be good. Which of those, or maybe another brand altogether would be the best bang for the...

Anyone know where to find a long 1/4" extention, maybe 24" or 36"? I had a specific use for one, but it wouldn't be very often. Not enough to pay SO money. Was hoping someone else made them.

Ok, I found an old Columbian vise in the barn. It's been used hard in its day. Aside from the layer of rust, the bends in the handles, I think the jaws are actually bent. If you sight down them, they aren't straight. It doesn't just appear to be the replaceable jaws bent either, but the main...

Or whatever the heck you want to call it. Seems like there isn't a standard name for it. Anyway...I need a 12mm. Any other companies make it besides Snap On? $50 is hard to justify for only using once or twice a year. This is the type I mean.

Looking for a better pair of wire strippers. Typed "stripper" in the search box, boy, didn't that lead to some interesting threads!!! They'll be used mostly for automotive use with stranded wire. Do you use the basic strippers, or the automatic stripping type? Or a combination of both? Brand...

I didn't want to hijack the other soldering gun thread, so I started this one. Is there such a thing as a tip that is shaped like a saddle, or a "U" shape? Instead of holding the tip under the joint to be soldered and waiting for the whole joint to heat up, a tip that somewhat surrounds the...

A question for the electrical experts out there. I live in a rural area where the power goes out more than I'd like. I have a back up generator for such occasions. I would like to put a indicator light on my outside electric panel that is on whenever the power is on. When it goes out and I have...

Enlighten me on the details of a Snap On S711A 1/2" ratchet. How many teeth? How long is it? if I type that number into the Snap On site, it takes me right to a SF80.

Saw this on CL. Haven't seen one before, and I even searched here. Gee...I could put it on the mantle! :bounce: http://desmoines.craigslist.org/tls/2170878490.html

Maybe this has been asked before, I couldn't find it. When someone makes a post, you see on the left in the list of posts... the title, the author... and to the right, the last response and date & time of the last response. Why doesn't it show when the original post was made? Some are brand...

I found an tool on CL a long ways away, one that I didn't feel comfortable buying without someone giving it a look over. I posted looking for someone in that area, and daveblank was generous enough to take the time to go look at it, actually buy it, and ship it to me! I got him paid, and its on...
