12 Volt Sump Pump

Mike Y asked:


I’m looking to get a new set of power tools, and I’ve looked on Home Depot and Lowe’s sites. So far the ones that have the most “bang for your buck” are Skil (which I’ve heard of before, but don’t really know much about them) and Ryobi. Are these brands good ones, or is there a reason why their products are cheaper than say Dewalt? Thanks!

New Cpr Guidelines

Me asked:


I am interested in companies that sell brackets (I think that is what they are called) that hold power tools onto shelving units. It consists of a bar and then various adapters, depending on the power tool.
Thanks for the information, but as I work for a company, we need the factory information. We can not just ask at the hardware store or go online and purchase. I hope that this is helpful

Outdoor Fireplace Kits

zaleia asked:


I am doing some general renovation and maintenance to my new home, and I’m wondering if it is worth the investment to purchase power tools or if I should rent the equipment. I don’t generally do a lot of maintenance-type work, so I am leaning towards renting the tools. But I am living in a new city and I’m not sure what reputable equipment rental companies are out there.

Thanks for any input.

Braided Fishing Line

planestuff asked:

This battery adapter enables you to use inexpensive Ryobi batteries for all your 18 volt DeWalt power tools. This was available on ebay, however ebay pulled the listing at the request of DeWalt and their parent company, The Black & Decker Corporation. They claimed the listing violates their intellectual property rights. I disagree with this decision and will appeal through the proper channels, so please check back here for a link to the re-listing when available. After all if you bought a Ford automobile and converted it to run on natural gas, and then offered that automobile for sale, would that be a violation of intellectual property?
