    Restoring Kennedy tool boxes

    I"ll try some of the Murphy soap. All I currently have is some purple cleaner. Just cleaning the painted metal is another option. I probably need to look for something to lay inside the drawers to prevent tools from sliding around. I have a couple other Kennedy tool boxes. One in great shape...

    Restoring Kennedy tool boxes

    After looking around I felt for $100.00 not a bad deal. The previous owner upgraded his tool boxes and felt he no longer needed his old ones. No real damage just mainly grease and some wear. I need to lubricate the slides and try to clean off some of the impregnated grime Haven't yet decided...

    Connect 5 gallon water dispenser bottle to water supply

    Hmm, that's an idea a toilet tank. Thinking about water source I've had many experiences with water systems from good to poor water quality. I can remember back in the 50s and 60s water quality sometimes became an issue for city water systems where they seem to often have poorer water quality...

    Connect 5 gallon water dispenser bottle to water supply

    Yes I think at least some of that equipment could be used to create an automatic water feed / refill system. Basically any equipment needs to be able to isolate the pressurized city or well water from the gravity feed of the water dispenser. Most all water systems that supply water to more...

    Connect 5 gallon water dispenser bottle to water supply

    This is for drinking water and hot water to make soup, etc. There currently is no sink, I would need to bring water in on a line to a RV or wood shed , garage, work shop etc. (where the water dispenser is installed). The water dispenser also has a small frig. So it essentially supplies clean...

    Restoring Kennedy tool boxes

    I have several Kennedy tool boxes I'm going to restore. However I'm not certain about what sort of paint to use and what sort of preparation work is required. The first one is brown and the top fold open with small compartments on either side. Is going to require some straightening of the main...

    Wet Sandblaster for Generac Pressure washer

    Link? I found this one on eBay for $62.64 with shipping and tax. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303304516229 Uses metal nozzle tips, uncertain how long the nozzles last. A courser sand removes rust faster but sanding is less fine than when using a finer sand.

    Wet Sandblaster for Generac Pressure washer

    I came across a wet sandblaster a couple of months ago for around $25.00 on a single website that had a 1/4 inch quick connect to connect the wet blaster to a pressure washer, but haven't been able to find the website since. I know there are wet blasters (designed to connect a a pressure...

    240 dual element water heater ground and neutral

    I'm uncertain if I should remove and inspect the anode? I seem to remember reading removing and replacing the anode in older water heaters potentially cracks the ceramic inside the tank, due to rust build up? This is an older smart water heat pulled from a home that's going to be demolished...

    240 dual element water heater ground and neutral

    That's the conclusion I've come to. Most of the older water heaters the total was adding the wattage of the elements. E.g. I just took a bath and shower using an older water heater 3500 watt lower and 3500 watt upper , total amps is 7000 watts plenty of hot water, close to 7000 watts to start...

    240 dual element water heater ground and neutral

    Ok, well we're trying to connect it along with a washer and dryer so Julie can do her wash. We just finished installing a 200 amp main panel and a 200 amp sub-panel in a shed for the washer and dryer plus other shop equipment. This has been a long process, mainly 1. needed to upgrade the...

    240 dual element water heater ground and neutral

    I'm uncertain of the total wattage, according to the label the water heater has two 4500 watt elements, one upper and one lower, and the total wattage = 4500 watts? (see previous message)

    240 dual element water heater ground and neutral

    There are two elements an upper and lower label shows 4500 watts each. The label shows Upper Element - 4500 watts Lower Element - 4500 watts ---------------- Total 4500 watts This is what confusing, the water heater has 1 x upper element @ 4500 watts and 1 x lower element @ 4500 watts, why...

    240 dual element water heater ground and neutral

    I have a 240 volts GE Smart Water Heater. GE50T6EA Specs shows it's a dual element Upper 4500 watts Lower 4500 watts --------------------- Total 4500 watts (uncertain why total shows 4500 watts since it's 2 x 4500 watts) Wire connections on top are a red wire and a black wire. The wire...

    Electronic calipers, battery drain?

    I found the instruction sheet that came with the Fowler that was having dead batteries issues if left installed. That was a few years ago so perhaps I'll try installing a battery again to verify it's depleting the CR2032 battery. (I've been removing the battery after each use) Instruction sheet...

    Blue-Point EETA502 DCA/ACA Clamp Adapter

    Now the clamp isn't working as expected. This morning I'm not able to get it to zero out or take an AC reading. Perhaps there's something wrong with the clamp. A few times I was able to zero it out and get an AC reading while other times I wasn't able to zero out and there was no relevant...

    Blue-Point EETA502 DCA/ACA Clamp Adapter

    I think I may have figured it out or perhaps the clamp adapter started to work correctly? I don't know. I'm not certain if there's a certain order to turn on the meter, connect the clamp to a dmm and a wire? Anyway this last time testing, the clamp adapter was OFF and then clamped to one of...

    Blue-Point EETA502 DCA/ACA Clamp Adapter

    I have this clamp meter adapter that's used with a multi-meter and trying to figure out if it's working. I don't have the instructions. The front besides the p/n has (Output 1mV/A) I connected the clamp adapter to my Fluke meter and place the clamp over one of the AC lines (connected to...

    Electronic calipers, battery drain?

    No I wasn't saying you should purchase a knock off, only that it appears the knock off main problem is with it's batteries as their using inexpensive electronics. My Fowler isn't a knock off but as far as the battery behaves it's the same as a knock off. Imo, it's unacceptable that tool...
