Just going to add my 2 cents here on the epoxy and see if I can help save you guys a few bucks , Dewalt anchors division ( could not beat Powers fasteners so they bought them ) offers AC200+ with almost identical specs to Hilti Hit epoxy at about half the price , and can be used with a standard...

sorry no links, but you could use double strut, its 2 pieces of 1 5/8th strut welded back to back ( from factory ) and available in 10 or 20 foot pieces, use threaded rod thrue both pieces with square washers for strut on the ends to secure it and act as trolley stops, and then use however many...

could not resist jumping in here, I am taking a break from electrical for a while ( waiting for knee surgery and industrial work again) and spend my days flogging tools and the main brands are Dewalt, Milwaukee and makita we send thrue the doors for cordless. As others have said for automotive...

As he said. that is a good motor disconnect and made to do what you want, only thing I would add, don't just buy the switch, spend a few bucks more and get the switch with its own box and lock out. this way get a cheap Long shackle lock and run it thrue the lock out holes while its off, and the...

as others here have said, do a small sub panel out there, nice 100A 24 cct panel and you are set for anything you want to do later, you will want to add some drop lights, you will want to add lights to the garage, because those 6 60watt bulbs he is putting up will be just enough light to see...

do it the same way we do at work, take those boxes of mixed nuts bolts and screws to one of the restores, or bibles for missions or whatever stores, Donate them, get a tax receipt for your donation , wait a week for there volunteer's to sort it, buy it back sorted and bagged / boxed for 1/10th...

looks good, just a thought thou, the North wall, maybe add another outside Plug and WP cover middle or west side near the corner for tools, and on the south wall there is a plug about center, consider adding another outside plug there too. a lot easier to do them now. any thoughts to a switched...

One more vote for Track Lighting. you did not ask, but thought I would mention, Not all track is equal, as in Brand A's fixtures may not work in Brand B's track. just something to keep in mind when your ordering. Also some brands offer a two circuit model of track, so you can adjust lighting...

Wow what a read, learned lots from the thread, thank you Creep. I would like to make a suggestion to creep / mods consolidate this thread on the first post, add your reasoning on some of the F/E's thrue this post as to why you rated the brands as you did and even your picture with the meanings...

to expand on the other replies, forget the 240, and the 277 volt is more of an industrial voltage its almost never seen where I am, but still common in the US, its 1 hot side of a 480 Volt 3 phase system here it is 347 / 600 volt. as for the less power on 240? nope still the same, if you double...

I have to agree with the above, at 3 feet, you would need some pretty damn big compactors in there to get that down, for a garage floor I don't think it would be that bad, but I would expect it to shift and start cracking shortly after pouring. I know at work for me ( huge Industrial sites ) 6...

the lights he has can be picked up at just about any electrical wholesaler, or ordered off the net,there lights designed for T-bar ceiling, as he said, he just framed them in with 2x4 instead, hell the HD by me stocks 2 lamp single ballast versions. I am sure a few guys here can chime in on an...

wow some good fights going on in this thread, as for the GFCI, go ahead Breaker ( easier to reach ) or Plug and feed downstream from it with added costs of Plugs and covers, based on the budget of ****** lights for 15 bucks your likely installing 69 cent plugs, with the thermal loads and...

by no means am I an expert, but CFM and storage is always good to have, I would suggest you take a good look at the cordless tools you will want to use, some are garbage, some near as good as air, but that is dependant on price, a GOOD cordless impact will set you back a few hundred. ( that few...

yea think you best bet is either a Y adaptor, or two other suggestions for you. a Kink saver, or small shut off valve. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Melnor-Kink-Free-Hose-Saver-557-063/203062309 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Melnor-Metal-Hose-Shut-Off-395S/203136689 the one is about 6 inches, the...

get a list of what you know you will use, panel, breakers, plugs, switches, boxes, specify what you want for the panel, like Square D QO panel, any conduit if you are using it, and yes drop it off at HD, Lowes, or your larger obscure Home hardware ( don't laugh ) get there quotes, then walk into...

I agree with the extension cord thing, just cut to length as needed, other wise, if you just want the cord I would check an electrical wholesaler rather then HD or Lowes, will give you a much better price. If you want to go the cord route check these guys out, they have no minimum order, and...

hey guys, saw this thought I would chime in on a few things we have done at work, while not for under a lift, was a source of light that was not going to burn us. anyway warning this option is NOT CHEAP. but worked well for us. we used a Wet Location T8 Fluorescent Fixture ( will supply a link...

#1 Robertson screw driver, that's a green handle square, may be hard to find for you South of the boarder as I find you guys have a Love for the ****** flat blade, that I feel should be banned from importing into Canada , and my opinion for the Phillips is not much higher but it is an...

what do you mean when you say a routine 60 amp breaker?? if you mean it takes up two spaces and can hook up 2 wires yes that's a 2 pole / double pole breaker, same thing different term. as for the NEC again not my area, but usually heating and motor loads have slight differences in code...
