    Inverter window ac

    The wifi has also been fairly reliable on it. And the app is a little rough but very workable. The remote is ok. I dropped it behind the bed a week ago and it has remained there since because the App does a decent enough job overall. Ours is in the bedroom and keeps the room at 65 all...

    Inverter window ac

    After almost a 4 week wait for amazon to deliver i've had the Midea 8k BTU U Inverter model for just about a month now and generally love it. This is the change the window AC market has been waiting for. It's quiet! To the point that if there is even mild ambient noise I need to listen...

    Home mechanic must haves

    I think some of the best money I have ever spent and one of my most used tools in the garage is my LED headlamp. It keeps both hands free and the extra light is always helpful. I wear it for every car project. Somewhat accidentailly, but I started using a 5-6' piece of Reflectix in place of...

    Successful off grid lighting?

    If your budget allows I'd recommend a setup with an RV inverter/charger like this: http://www.xantrex.com/power-products/inverter-chargers/freedom-458.aspx It has an AC input and output, and then connects to your battery bank. It will run the inverter off the battery bank, and when their is an...

    small 110 volt welder

    I have a Hobart Handler 140 and have also been really happy with it. If you do go with the HH140 for the type of stuff you're talking about you might want to consider their kit for using paintball CO2 tanks: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VECKSI/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It only adds minimal...

    Craftsman 30/33 gallon compressor

    The tank likely was a stamped plate on it somewhere that states the max pressure the tank is rated for. I own a dewalt compressor and there is a devilbiss plate on the tank that says its pressure rating.

    Craftsman Club Thread

    That 6 drawer top box was $99.99 January 7, 2012 before any discounts or tax when I bought it. I bought that, the 4 drawer base cabinet, and 3 drawer middle units for ~$298 after taxes and discounts when I got it. In hindsight I could have managed it for $288 but I botched some coupon codes at...

    Argon / Shielding Gas Average Price?

    Paid $23 last year on a C25 refill for a new 40cf tank I purchased off eBay. Didn't really want to exchange it since it was a brand new tank and I only needed it for occasional sheet metal repair.

    Solder or Crimp?

    My unprofessional opinion. But for my automotive stuff I solder if its wire to wire, and I crimp if its wire to terminal. I use an AMP ratcheting crimper and it is easily one of the best purchases and most expensive tool purchases I've made. For large gauge wiring (4ga for the stereo) I...

    USA craftsman tools on clearance

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll check my local store out tomorrow. Had no idea they carried any of the craftsman product line. Got a killer deal on a dewalt 18v cordless circular saw there last year.

    "warming" a standard 2 car garage on the cheap

    Depending on how long your out there and what type of work your doing, you might want to consider an 1500watt electric Infrared heater. Ive found the portable ones to be really effective when im doing small jobs on my car. Usually i just sit it a few feet from where I am working and have it...

    DeWalt 4.5 gallon oilless compressor - $219 (reconditioned)

    I own an Oiled Dewalt 4.5 gallon compressor that has the same tank and regulator setup on it, and it has been absolutely stellar for my sporadic use over the last 8 years. That tank/regulators flow plenty of air to run my IR 1/2 impact at full power, and the tank is big enough that you can...

    Boosting water pressure?

    http://www.911nowater.com/AquaboostII_Product_Bullitan_ModelABS.pdf Check out this product. No idea on the price, but I worked at a place that had one, and it seemed to do exactly what you were looking for.
