I have the same Werner and agree completely; if you are at the top when in extension mode, it really flexes. I also have issues with a couple of the hinge locks being difficult. They are a bit better...
When I built my detached shop, I ran two lines of RG-6 and two of Cat 5e from the house out to the shop, mainly for a TV but also to handle any future communication or home automation needs.
I'm...
Have to disagree...we went through absolute heck with 5 different "very reputable" AC companies in Houston trying to get a 2-zone mini-split to work properly. Mini-splits are still foreign to most AC...
FWIW, 3 years ago I bought an essentially unused circa 2000 52" 3 hp Unisaw Platinum Edition with Biesemeyer fence and mobile base for $1200. There were a few buyers lined up behind me at that price....
I had similar dealings with Mr. Ed Bennett. If that guy would just put $10k worth of equity into his company, and hold a little finished inventory, he could rule the world (of woodworking aligner...
I too rarely ever use mine (PC 360 3x24) since getting a Festool RO150. My belt sander is the one tool in the shop that could disappear, and i probably wouldn't notice.
That said, were I to buy...
I looked for a year on Craigslist for an 8" jointer, and was able to score an Invicta-era DJ20 for $200 (gloat!). As the blades were shot, I purchased the Byrd head from Grizzly during their last...
Sorry to start a firestorm with the Surebonder link, but it has worked amazingly well. I only bought it for redoing antique window screens, but have since used it extensively for batt insulation as...
This one is the "best value for the money" new tool I've ever bought. It uses standard Arrow T-50 staples:

Interestingly, I went in one of these "Amish-made" furniture stores here in Houston last weekend. The furniture - mostly Mission-style in cherry or QSWO - looked quite nice as displayed. And it's not...
One word of advice, as I learned the hard way. If you have multiple indoor units on a single outdoor unit, the ONLY way to ensure the correct amount of refrigerant is in the entire system is to...
I am refinishing the original front door on my house, which was built in 1914. The door is fairly large - 98" x 36" x 2" thick. Fortunately, its on the north side of the house, and under a large...
I bought the exact same saw sans blade guard 3 years ago in "new" condition for $1200 and still feel like it was a good deal. Several guys were lined up behind me to buy it. I added a Biesemeyer...
Actually, thanks for posting it! I recently picked up a cheap Craftsman LED work light, and, despite its many shortcomings, I have found it invaluable for working under old houses. As a Festool...
FWIW, in Houston you can buy it at Home Depot, and most lumber yards here carry it in two different widths.
It's pretty impossible to be a successful business the size of Agazzani in Italy right now. The government has begun imposing unbelievable "fairness" regulations (e.g., every 13th employee must be...
Thanks the responses. The terminal block above is exactly what I was hoping to use (but didn't know how to find/describe one until now). A disconnect is also a good idea, but I do plan to have a...
I have the same set-up (50-760 with Wynn filter), and I just wrapped enough duct tape around the outside of the lower ring until I could get a positive closure with the Delta band clamp. It works...
I've got a detached shop with a 100 amp subpanel. Behind that shop is an older 480 sq ft garage that languished in disrepair for a number of years. I have now structurally rebuilt and re-roofed the...
The Sharkgrip looks and feels like a fine sugar. I don't think you could evenly blow it on to the epoxy, and, even if if you could, it might actually sink into the epoxy and not have much of an...
The Shark Grip will sink to the bottom very quickly. It has to be kept in constant suspension, thus the reason you put it on mixed with a urethane, with a roller, from a pan. If you put it in the...
Sand or aluminum oxide as an anti-slip material in epoxy is very sharp and will be difficult to clean. A better alternative is polymer "balls", which are sold under the brand names of SharkGrip and...
I would buy Mitsubishi or Fujitsu. I don't think there is any appreciable difference - in performance, construction or cost - between the main brands, but I learned the hard way (with a Sanyo unit)...
I placed an order for one with Mr. Bennett in July 2010, and I was also told I'd just missed the last batch. He replied to an email I sent him in Oct 2010 about the status, but a subsequent email I...
