    Hydraulic fitting not accessible?

    I wanted to thank all of you for the replies. I was able to complete the repair today. It turns out that it was not a threaded coupling but a parker push-lock fitting that had a bad o-ring. It was surprisingly easy to remove the hose and replace the coupling and reinstall said hose. As a bonus...

    Hydraulic fitting not accessible?

    I had come to those solutions myself. I was hoping a more intelligent member of the community would simply say “oh sure need a hyd-slip-socket-widget-dealy and the part number is 87654-HSSWD” 😔

    Garage ladder recommendations

    I had a drop down in my last house that was from a company called Rainbow. It was very sturdy and it sealed like a car door. It was expensive but by far the nicest pull down i have ever seen.

    Canless fixtures

    Do can-less light fixtures need to be replaced as an assembly, meaning can you change just the light or just the junction box/ driver? I assume the driver (in the junction box) may not be universally interchangeable. I have some that have went bad and the particular one is no longer available...

    At what point would you buy a battery operated nailer compared to using a hammer?

    The cordless are a huge convenience when you arent doing a lot of nailing. That said i just did 12’x18’ room with shiplap on both walls and ceiling. I used the milwaukee cordless exclusively. They are great but- heavy. I would buy them again in a minute. I did use a pneumatic framing nailer...

    Power washer pump- rebuild or garbage?

    It’s got a Honda engine. The pump overheated because the water was off. I had a lot of garden hose connected and it sucked the hose dry. The o-rings melted in the pump. Again- it was my fault. I had water coming out of the PW for several minutes but it wasn’t enough to keep the pump cool

    Power washer pump- rebuild or garbage?

    I bought the replacement on amazon w points so it wasn’t that painful but if I can i rebuild and have a spare it makes sense. I guess I need to see what’s what and go from there…

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s junk. It was pushing pieces of junk through the hose. And clogging the nozzle
