Dyson HP04 Hot + Cool filter fan. the ones that have a big hoop on top with no blades. For $400 this doesn't move alot of air but it does heat, and filter the air through 4 filters, 2 HEPA and 2 charcoal. My neighbor gave it to me instead of throwing it away as the motor was making a bad rattle...

Ha, no **** right? New "Autotecnica" digital tachometer with digital and lcd sweep readout. Kinda cool for $16 shipped, only to use it to set idle speed on a non tach equipped 2.0 82 Mazda from under the hood. 3 wires : hot, ground, and signal to - slide of coil. So far as good. I hooked it up...

Maytag 21 CF refer with freezer on top wasnt cooling beer enough so I started to investigate. Was cranked up,refer to max and freezer to max with no effect, seemed to be stuck at 50F in the bottom refer portion. I cleaned the lower coils (dusty) and the top coils were lightly coated with frost...

Swap meets flooded with these new and used battery powered drivers and saws. What gives? Do these get scrapped when defective and returned or what? Some manufacturers say field destroy returns...maybe these get resold or sold by the pound? I must have passed 500 Dewalt 1/4 nut drivers......

Digital caliper...when I opened it yesterday, I watched the numbers and at one point the numbers hit a 'dead spot' and them picked up again, throwing the measurement off. I tried it a few more times and then it seemed to clear and is working again. WTH? Was it moisture (damp garage) or just lack...

Tower removed with 1/8 turn to unlock tabs Old gasket already pulled off piston, note the bubbles in mine that prevented it from sealing...weird! Gasket gets stretched over this large button Old gasket with faulty bubbles exposed. new gasket(s) part number 2 sizes in card, match up ID to...

These work? marketed as a universal wrench....I guess the teeth prevent it from riding off the flats.

Quite a few on the market, Chelation is the most common type, ie Evaporust. Anyone got great results from these? Brands? I wanna soak a crank so Im gonna need about 2 gallons. I had some evaporust but it turned black and didnt work anymore over time.

Walbro carb on a 2 stroke, These little pumping carbs are amazing on their simplicity and ability to be fixed with 2 dollar membrane gaskets. I recently rescued a Ryobi BP42 backpack blower out of the dumpster at work, seems someone dragged it to work and tossed it in the "controlled" waste, ie...

Bucket, 2 bottles and a guitar string. Self resetting mouse/rat trap. Set and forget! Put peanut butter on center of roller so they have to venture out onto it to get the goods. Like a floating log, the little bastards will roll off the log into the 5" deep water 10" below and hopefully drown...

20" Dayton ELECTRIC FAN in a round cage with a stand, floor mount. Has 1/6 HP 'clam shell' 1600-1300 RPM motor with integral sleeve bearings. The back of the motor gets hot, like 140F on a laser thermometer and trips the thermal cutout after a while. Will reset after about 30 seconds and will...

So I broke out my newly purchased 3042 and flipped through the instructions. I clipped the inductive pickup lead onto a running coil wire and got nothing. I checked the manual and it said the 2 C batteries were only needed for resistance testing. It did not mention power to the unit for the RPM...

Heck yeah I buy my own gifts! :D

Cutting some 80mm holes in 16g plate steel. Do I use a titanium tipped hole saw, or one of those adjustable cutters that fit on a drill and have the 2 bits on a T bar? They say they cut light metal but I'm not sure about that. Any experience? I'd have to use a hand drill on the hole saw as my...

Interesting units. They use a 3 phase AC motor as the 'transmission'. its only a belt driven tub off a bi-directional motor so they dont need a complicated agitator transmission. Also the AC motor has a tach output that obviously monitors speed, ie it can be set to 5 different spin rates, off...

Im looking for a 1982 Mazda B2000 (Fed) wiring diagram and I think these guys have it for a price. Do it Yourself Automobile Repair Manuals - Mitchell 1 DIY can't seem to find one online.....

Are these accurate? Seems the diameter of the ends would prevent them from hitting the cylinder wall at the right angle >> (| << to see the entire diameter? Or would you measure across the opposites?

Can I repair this head by building up the fire ring land with AL rod without warping it? Totally new to TIG. Don't want to warp it, not sure what filler rod to use. MAZDA AL casting. Plan on building it up very slowly and then doing a minimal skim cut on it to flatten to spec. Blown head gasket...

could you put a pulley on the end of a cherry picker boom and turn it into a shop crane? Mount the winch on the base and run the cable over some 3" metal pulleys on the boom? Im not sure how dead lift a winch is rated at or if it is even semi safe just using the winch brake?

Here's a post to brag about your best repairs on anything, how ever unlikely they are!

Hey, some guys have guitars in their garages too? <My boy has a Digi Tech RP155 processor that goes between his Bass and the Crate BX100 amp. Holy smoke, this thing has developed a hellacious buzz in it! We can run the Ibanez bass directly to the amp and it cleans up 95% of the buzz but if you...

The thing dripped out the gasket and I was checking the drain screen at the bottom. It was packed with crud so I removed it and cleaned it. It was mostly white flakes of the rubber the rusting racks are coated with. Found a lot more under it and packed into the water jet. I had not realized I...

My cheap *** HF dial caliper that I've had for 15 years finally started to give me fits. Would not return to zero repeatable. So...take it a part! A few pics. Key is to pry the bezel ring off and you'll be on your way. Remove the needle with 2 screwdrivers prying up in it at the shaft. It's a...

I have a pair of super comfortable steel toe boots with a nice rigid shank for ladder use. The F'n molded sole peeled off one of them and the other is starting to seperate too. These are fairly new (NOS, about 5 years old but only worn for about 3 months) It looks like it was a bad batch of glue...

The plastic flap on the back of the mower that keeps stones from zapping your legs can be replaced with a piece of doormat. Mine was long gone so I bought a 4.89 rubber doormat (could use anything heavy and pliable I suppose) and a bag of #6 machine screws and nuts. Cut the flap out and use a...

Stick the shop vac hose into the bell end of a funnel and use the small end to get into hard to reach places. Had to suck out some fluids in the intake valley and this made it very easy to get all the little puddles out
