    Alternative to shop press for bearing

    A lot of great info here, and have read through most of it, but I'm curious if I should get the Astro kit or just go for the 12 ton shop press at HF for $99 right now? I also have to do a bearing job. TIA

    Where to get PEI 5 Porcelain?

    If it's of any help, since there's usually less variety of tiles with PEI of 5, I installed a PEI 4 ceramic tile and I dropped a transmission on it from about 3 to 4 inches high and it chipped it but it didn't crack the whole tile. It's noticeable but but even for being made of ceramic it's not...

    Tire marks on NEW RaceDeck floor !!!

    Completely agree. It's like people who always complain about certain suv's not feeling sporty enough. Like, uh, DUH, that's not its purpose.

    Decisions on choosing my mini split

    Found a quote from some guy on a popular app to just pressurize and pull a vacuum for $250, although he MIGHT not be licensed. I'm not the one to put a price on someone's work that I know very little of, but I would like to be able to find someone for less.

    Would there be an issue if use the whole length of the refrigerant copper line and just wind up and leave it ouside what I don't need extended? It shouldn't need an adjustment in freon I suppose since it is what's supplied.

    Decisions on choosing my mini split

    The reason I want it above the workbench is because I want to use the rest of my wall space for a lumber rack/hanging space. I don't work on the workbench as much and if I ever do, that could be easily moved. I'm not entirely against being on the side of the pegboard, so we will see. I...

    Decisions on choosing my mini split

    Hey Bills Tools, well because I only cared to really cool the garage since it has NO cooling, and also I can't afford a Mitsubishi MXZ multi-head mini-split system. The mini split I'm buying is right around $400.

    Decisions on choosing my mini split

    Thanks everyone, my goal is only to cool/heat the garage. I was just wondering if it could possibly affect the temperate in my master bedroom since it's right above it. Sorry for any confusion. For the master I'm probably just going to use a small fan right next to me and my bed when i sleep...

    This is the unit I believe is the U.S. version of the one I'm getting. It's like an entry level unit but should do just fine. Mirage is known in Mexico as a reliable brand. I did speak once to a U.S. Mirage distributor and he told me products in Mexico are just simply cheaper and also told me...

    Good morning. I don't know much about certifications and stampings on the unit, but I do know its an inverter type system. You see, in Mexico there are a lot of the older non inverter rotary systems still sold but I would say a good majority are inverter. My "contact" is my brother in law...
