I have a Sears Acme thread drive 1/2 HP I installed in '97 when we built our house, this same unit was in my first house for 9 years, and before that it was in my folks house for some 10-years...still doing what it's supposed to do. Two-years ago built a 2nd garage and had a firm install the...

Let us know what ya find..

My old Penske about the same age as yours decided not to work so much anymore prodding me to invest in a new one. A few buddies were wiser to wait for their buddy to fork out for a new one - to borrow, lol.

Ditto - bought this one couple years ago and naturally a few buddies have borrowed it...ya know, why buy one when a bud has one. No complaints with it.

That is one dumbass strategy by lowe’s that could lead to lawsuit city. They should have put their supplier on notice to pick that crap up and reimburse them any purchase costs or expect a lawsuit from them.

That was something we would do when doing building inspections on the electrical panels looking for a hot circuit. Didn't find them much at all, but we did.

Viewing your photo of the light, could have been a mfg defect that QC missed. The company I did work for had a test of every light and every so often, one was bad, wired wrong, or other component failure. They didn't make the lights, but they'd run across one that was bad.

This would make anyone paranoid. I wired up a bunch of LED lights using quick-connectors, like those over wire nuts, what a light fixture mfg I worked with gave me. Only quick thoughts would be a defective light, socket was cracked, or that blue wire was assembled poorly. I might go around...

Have a bunch of Milwaukee tools and getting a power paddle attachment next for cleaning snow off the concrete parts of the driveway. Been happy with them; string trimmer sure doesn't seem to last as long as I think it should. Rapid charge is handy. Used the chain saw quite a bit and did the...

Zoning or building code issues? Even though I’m not within hundreds of yards of anything but property my MIL still owns and ours, being farmed the town says my new bld had to be 16’ from the house and 20’ from property lines/easements. I’m real close to an easement, shared driveway with IL’s...

Yep, me too – just 20 years later than I wanted to do it. 26’x30’ build kit, 5 windows, 3 OH doors, one being a pass-thru (doors not arrived yet). Electrical started this past week. Three-car house garage is insulated/heated so currently no plans to do this for the new garage, just storage...

You consider a simple beveled or radiused edge if you're not wanting too fancy?

A bud that has done a lot of blasting and painting suggested I reroute my compressor regulator/filter at least 10 feet away from the compressor as I’ve dealt with moisture accumulation. Something I didn’t know; but haven’t done this yet..

I've had one like this for years; it's huge so have bungeed it up to keep it off the floor. Still like new and all folds into a pouch attached to the cover. But my car is in a heated garage for storage. I bought a custom cover two years ago for $250+ and is tight and padded. Having a power...

Oly chit hey - could give someone a heart attack.

Friend of mine has one and thought it was nifty and found one cheap on fleabay years ago; but 95% of the time I use my dial calipers or dig mic. The one I have though is shorter and has come in handy on occasion in tight spots...about it.

Coincidently watched a clip on flame beading a tire on a JD tractor last night. He used like 16oz of gas from a Mountain Dew bottle...lol. I wouldn't ask that dude to be changing my tires. Blew out the tire and the glass on the cab.

My long departed F-I-L has one in his shop and he taught me how to change tires on it back in the 70's and it was old then. Not sure how large a wheel it can handle as i was doing 14"; but I could take it as the shop's being cleared out. Think I should I take it?

Timely conversation as I'm planning on building a 2nd garage with a bay for a lift.

Yeah - I learned how to do this from my old boss a T&D guy. We had a long standing order to drill out 1/8" holes and tap the ends of the slide rods for microfilm projectors! Remember those? Did they have a glorious but short life. lol Thousands of those rods for a company call Micro-Design...
