Welcome to the forum. Here is a topic on your inquiry.

YW, FWIW I never used my impact wrench, despite extensive automotive work, so I sold that tool. For automotive work I use a breaker bar when required, many different types of ratchet wrenches and a torque wrench during fastener replacement. The threads on many fasteners are protected w/ either grease or Loctite to aid in future removal. Short answer, no I would not also get an impact wrench.

Welcome to the forum. The impact driver is THE best tool to install / remove fasteners w/ little to no damage to the head. There is less utility for the impact driver on a car, as compared to a house.

Welcome to the forum. Does the instruction manual, in the Documents section of this link, have the info? There is a troubleshooting guide on Page 11.

Welcome to the forum. Please feel free to share image of those cool tools. Sharing stories and experience is great also...

There are a wide range of tools I use in southern FL to prune my trees. Full disclosure, long ago I sold my chain saw due to lack of usage. A chain saw (Properly used w/ proper safety equipment) is the best tool to remove larger trees and branches. In FL a tree service is required, because everything is sooo close (so NO "timber", cut the trunk and let it safely fall) and because all the BIG heavy stuff is WAAAY up in the air. The tree service will climb the tree and disassemble from the top, working down to the bottom, then grind the stump. For large stuff, or for seed pods mixed in w/ palm fronds, I use my Super Sawzall w/ a 9" coarse blade. I've even used this to remove medium sized trees, about 4" diameter. For medium palm fronds that must be neatly detached from the trunk I use my OMT w/ a coarse blade. For branches and open / exposed palm fronds I use my lopping pruner. For high palm fronds I use my pole pruner, either the coarse saw blade or the corded remote lopping pruner. For small stuff I use my Fiskars PowerGear Pruner. Mine is like shown on the link, except my blade is Titanium coated.

Welcome to the forum. Yes the lower power is sufficient in many cases, such as the easier cross grain cut. But if the saw will be used for more difficult cuts, such as ripping (with the grain) then more power is always better. If it were me I would go w/ the DCS578NT-XJ to get the most power. As you've identified, it is REALLY handy when sharing batteries is possible. I find when working on projects I frequently have three DeWALT XR tools and when I draw down the battery on the heavy usage tool I swap that battery into the charger and borrow a different battery, cycling everything so I end w/ three fully charged batteries.

The waaay cool buried plastic box frame is a Oldcastle Precast Enclosure Solutions MSBCF-1324-12-D high density Polyethylene one piece molded frame, black on top for UV protection and white below to increase visible light refection to aid meter reading. It is superior to the concrete frames that are used in other homes.

They will contact you.

Welcome to the forum. What size property? Preference for tractor, seated, push, self propelled, rotary, reel, looong list of options? There is a different forum w/ only mind readers, they may be much more helpful and insightful.

Welcome to the forum. Sharpening tool looks cool for making coarse teeth. My toothless blades are used for cutting drywall, such as for electrical box openings. Drywall quickly eliminates blade teeth. The side of the blade is very effective for those cuts.

Welcome to the forum. Several years ago I taught myself to sew so I could design and fabricate a custom enclosure for my boat, plus many other marine canvas projects. Please share info and pictures on your gardening efforts.

Welcome to the forum. The proper installation of a new roofing system will have overlapped joints and flashing that all work together to prevent long term leaks. The identification / repair of existing leaks requires investigation to locate failed or improperly installed components. My house had a long term very intermittent leak issue where the final roofing contractor said rip off / replace the entire roof was the only solution to fix a leak at one spot, but that answer was not sufficient for me. I excavated all the roofing tar from the problematic spot until I reached the problem, that was caused by someone dumping a tube of silicone sealant during the initial installation under all the roofing material. Nothing was sticking to the silicone and it wasn't sticking to anything. All that silicone was dug out and replaced w/ roofing tar and it has been leak free for many years. Why not provide info / photos that permit others to assist w/ the specific problem?

Welcome to the forum. Repair is probably possible. Assuming the issue is that the tool doesn't go when the trigger is squeezed? I found that those voltage chirping tools is very handy for this problem. Use it to carefully "sniff" around the internal tool wiring to determine where the voltage stops. Two likely sources are the squeeze trigger switch and the brushes. The brushes may be removed for a visual inspection. The cover for one of the brushes is shown in the image, to the left of the label.

I know I'm not the only one waiting to purchase this DeWALT DCN623 23 gauge pin nailer tool...

Thanks for a Google search engine link. I never would have thought to use a search engine... Is this the tool? If so, the case for that tool is Milwaukee P/N 931436004.

That tool was not located. Please provide a link for the tool.

Welcome to the forum. Why not post the model number of the tool that needs the case? It would be something like 2854-20.

Welcome to the forum. No idea on tool. Best guess, old way of assisting dilation during child birth.

Welcome to the forum. Not a plumber, even though I have replumbed several houses and have been plumbing for decades (impossible to qualify for professional plumber because of insufficient exposed butt crack), I am wondering why the choice of components has been selected. The copper pipe and soldered fittings is one of my favorite tools / materials for plumbing. I always / only use the thicker Type L copper tubing. Why do the press fittings? For the radiator project there will be locations where a torch (I use MAPP gas for the higher temperature) could be problematic for adjacent materials. In those instances I either use remote sub assembly fabrication or a flexible heat shield or both to not ignite the house. I also keep a small bucket of water handy just in case. Here is a recent shared kitchen / bathroom wall done in copper supplies.

Thought Tesla did home solar electric stuff, but didn’t locate link, thanks. While I fully support exploration of alternative energy sources, like solar electricity generation there are many aspects that I find severely objectionable. One is adding to the financial burden imposed on future, unborn generations with tax credits and any other money games. Another is that deterioration / degradation of solar electric panels when exposed to sunlight causes me to question the payback versus lifetime equation. Also this is another funnel for American cash to China, financed by China, horrible for America’s future. Finally, the creation of solar electric panels causes terrible pollution of our planet. IMO it doesn’t matter that the pollution is in China, it is still on Earth.

What does it mean that “Tesla set up a house to be green “?

Welcome to the forum. My experience w/ construction waste is that getting a bin is not the issue. Instead greatly exceeding the acceptable mass is very easy to happen. Is dumpster weight not an issue in Toronto?

This image shows the concrete water meter cover w/ small cast door that is typical for other houses in my area. Boy, did I luck out...

Welcome to the forum. My guess is that you are the problem. Do you only have two hands when three are required? On my Festool RO150FEQ the detachable AC power cord has a ¼ turn twist lock retention to the tool. The original receptacle on the tool had horrible retention, like you described. I disassembled the tool and swapped that receptacle and all has been good for many years.
