    What are these?

    Excellent! Screw extractors. Now, my memory is jogged. I bought them around 2010 specifically to remove the phillips screws that were holding the jaws in place on my '56 Wilton Cadet vise restoration. Can't find the pics but they worked flawlessly! The screwheads were stripped but the...

    Can anyone school me on hot water booster pumps?

    Thanks everyone! I'm liking the Grundfos recirculation system. The only thing I don't care for is the timer. We're retired and the wife and I don't take showers the same time every day. I'd like it to just work when we need it! I guess we'll just have to figure that out...

    Can anyone school me on hot water booster pumps?

    We're about to remodel our small master bathroom. Currently, when I turn on the shower it takes several minutes for the water to get hot. I assume a hot water booster pump plumbed into the hot water heater would alleviate that or at least get the water hot faster. Is that right? I see them...

    Where can I get a 'true' kink free garden hose?

    HD, Lowes and even Amazon advertise 'kink free' hoses and none of them are worth a ****! I've tried em. I coil them up loosely on garden hose hangars mounted to the house and every one of them kink, in multiple areas, when I remove it. I need a 75' truly kink free hose. Any ideas?

    How to get rid of a large tree stump (without grinding)?

    I've got a fairly big, mature Yucca tree stump that's pushing against the rock waterfall in my pool. It's causing the waterfall to raise up and leak. It needs to go away. Don't want to spend $700 to grind the stump. I was thinking of cutting the stump down lower then drilling holes and...

    How to stop squirrels from chewing through my outdoor wiring?

    I have string lights in my backyard that wrap around some redwood trees. There's also a large family of squirrels that live back there. I had an outdoor extension cord that connected the two strings that went over the pool but the squirrels had a field day with that. How can I squirrel proof...

    How to get rid of mold in the caulking of my shower?

    Typical older California tract home. It's pretty bad! I assume, remove old caulk using razor blade and putty knife, scrub with Simple Green and replace with new caulk. Will Simple Green do it? What about replacement caulk? Best brand and type? Here's some pics of the nastiness! Should...

    Where to buy a boot for a car jack?

    Looks like a rack & pinion steering bellows (boot). My advice, go to your local Pick-N-Pull, climb under some cars and take some measurements. With some slight modifications I'm sure you could make one work...

    Pressure pot blaster suggestions

    I love my Texas Blaster! I used it to blast the entire underside of my '54 Ford, my roadster frame, tons of suspension parts and a host of other pieces. It's a real sandblaster! The 3/4" I.D. hose rocks! You will however need a serious compressor. I have an IR 5L5 single stage 5 hp w/80 gal...
