    Tire Plug kits

    I've had the Safety Seal kit for many years but I've only used it twice. No complaints! Both tires are still going. Its important to not drive on a flat tire THEN plug it.

    Is it feasible to use a dust filter in my garage?

    I really like the box fan idea. It would be cool to 3D print some corners so you can set it down in them and only need to tape the edges...

    Adding Garage to the cooling loop???

    Is this a house with a crawl space? I've had good results with just throwing a $50 amazon DH in the crawl space and setting it to 60%. Been under there for around 3 years and the humidity in the house never gets over the upper 50% range even during the cool times of the year (so no A/C) when its...

    What's the difference between these two Craftsman wrenches that one is listed for nearly ten times as much as the other?

    I dont have that many wrenches, but I wonder how much all of this is worth?

    Whole house Air conditioning AC unit issues.

    Have you bought anything from there? R134a just jumped up to $13 a can at Walmart and I need several cans. I've been saving my 30lb jug for a very rainy day... If I can buy another one, that would be great.

    Self-sealing Can Tap for R134?

    Oddly enough, I've found that I lose more refrigerant since they 'upgraded' the can than I did before. If I dont use all of the can, a bunch comes out when Im unscrewing my hose before the cap seals back off...

    A/C Condenser fan has difficulty starting

    I find it very interesting that banging on the fan caused it to start spinning and the issue was a bad capacitor. I'd keep an eye on that. Anytime I've replaced a bad capacitor, I had to give the fan a good push to get it started spinning. I've manually started a fan for several days waiting...

    New construction toilet install

    This... Ive always read that the flange should be on top of the finished floor, so I tried it last time I needed to replace a flange. The toilet sat up off the floor exactly the thickness of the flange. Completely squeezed out the wax ring. Had to take it all back up, cut the pipe, and redo the...

    Brake Bleeding, Hand Pump, Air Bubbles, Grease on Valve?

    I've been using the Mityvac vacuum bleeder for around 14 years, never had an issue. Sometimes I will put some silicone grease around the threads but lately Ive been too lazy to. I would like to try putting some teflon tape on them, never tried that. The whole pressure bleeder thing makes me...

    Automotive Battery Terminals

    Most of mine are dry, nothing. If I notice any sort of corrosion then I'll address it. On my vehicles, I use the little pad things that go around the post/under the battery terminal. I dont like spraying **** on my batteries. If its something I dont care about but Im worried about corrosion...

    Garage Door Header question

    I wouldn't hesitate to add 2 more 2x12's and call it a day. Lots of glue and structural screws. My garage is setup how youre wanting (16' door and I dont think there is room for 2x12's. I wouldn't be surprised if mine is 2x10's and theyre also supporting brick. It does have angle iron to hold...

    Ducted Heat Pump System - Whole House Humidifier Options?

    I'm very curious to see what you decide to go with. For some reason, the dry air this winter has been particularly tough on my sinuses. I'm getting very tired of filling up a humidifier in my bedroom twice a day. I have a gas furnace but its sitting directly on the floor. Only the return duct...

    Recommendations for a leaf blower?

    I have an ego and its too heavy for my mom to use. Bought her a Milwaukee that takes the single battery and its easy for her to use.

    Anti-seize.

    Dang, I sure hate to hear that. I use to frequent the iboats forum, maybe 15-16 years ago, and remember reading his posts. Dude sure knew his stuff. Is this what you're talking about? The only issue I see is the low temp rating...

    Why does nobody make a pinion seal driver?

    Ive had good luck buying the OEM (Miller) seal driver on ebay for my Jeeps. Ended up with 2 that have worked on every pinion seal that I've needed to replace.

    Lisle.....Are you a fan?

    I have a decent assortment of their pliers and have always liked them. I broke one of their torx bits and they had no issue sending me a replacement. That was at least 10+ years ago, no clue if they would still do that.
