    Automotive ScanTools 2016

    Depends on what you are after. I have HP Tuners scanner for about $350, you need to supply a laptop though. It can capture everything on the bus and do data logging. For more money it will upload tunes. Tim.

    Code or best practice, wiring light fixture with switch.

    Gerald O, that explains some circuits I've seen where the wire goes from the breaker to the light fixture and then to the switch. The cable from the fixture to the switch had a white, black, and red wire, white was unused neutral, black was power (live), and red was load.

    Code or best practice, wiring light fixture with switch.

    Simple circuit, from breaker to light fixture to switch. Do you run the wire from the breaker to the fixture and then two wires to the switch or do you run the wire from the breaker to the switch box and then to the light fixture? The first may save wire, but there will not be a ground or...

    Winter car storage concerns

    If you only have access to the garage and not the owners of the vehicles I believe you will be covered by garage keepers laws in your state. You can say what you want, but you will be responsible for any damage while in your care. Talk to your insurance agent to find out what liability...

    I have 11 4' T5 (two bulb) units in my 24' x 24' x 10' garage. Ceiling and walls and doors painted white. White Melamine cabinets along one wall. I need more light though, just over the rear of the cars by the overhead door and something to light the engine compartments more. Lights hang...

    Garage Design Questions

    I see such a curb in garages with the furnance/hot water/softener in the garage. About 3" high to keep **** flowing into the utilities from the cars, such as snow melt. What is your anxiety about?

    Dry wall question

    I've used peg board (cannot do large items) and Garage Grid hangers (take up a lot of space). Both also leave items out in the open to get dusty or catch as you walk by. Using 3/4" plywood sides, top, bottom (but not back). I built 12" d x 48" w x 72" h cabinets with 1x4s across the back to...

    Copper or black pipe for gas outside?

    Inside I had copper feed to gas hot water. Contractor said it is okay as long as the copper line was coated inside to prevent the gas reacting with the copper.

    Show Me Homebuilt Storage Cabinets

    I made my own garage cabinets, see http://www.wanderingsol.comule.com/Pages/GarageCabinet.html for my process. One of the features mine has is the ability to take the back off the cabinet and change the tool hangers without taking the cabinet down or doors off.

    US Map

    If you buy two Delorme Gazettes for the same state you can make a map of the state that will fill the wall. I believe Indiana comes out to 4' w x 7.5' h. There are alignment marks on every page that show where to cut and align.

    Wiring through a duplex receptacle

    I believe if you use all four screws on a duplex you should be concerned with the amperage on the downstream duplexes. I remember if your circuit is 20A, then downstream the duplex should be 15A max. In other words using the outlet in the circuit of downstream outlet(s) will limit the current...

    Parking on top of a scissor lifts without "ramps"?

    Also with a scissor lift, you may need several inches of clearance to lift heavier vehicles, as the scissors cannot lift their full rated capacity when all the way down.

    Parking on top of a scissor lifts without "ramps"?

    There are two types (at least) of scissor lifts, one has two platforms that the wheels drive over and the platforms (with needed spacers) contact the frame to lift. The other has a narrow deck the wheels would not touch when driving over, but it would have arms that swing out when you are ready...

    Imperial Brass MFG Co tool, what is it?

    Okay, I can see it being a valve seat re-conditioner. With the history of the company working with oxy-acetelene components, the thick wall of the tube or pipe it would fit, and it being hand operated makes me think it would be used on high pressure brass valve assemblies. A relatively soft...
