321. RE: gate or ball valve for house water lines? (score: 1)

Doesn't necessarily follow ... natural gas is something like 1/4 psi, while water hammers can subject water valves to many hundreds of psi. Just normal water line pressure can be 400-500 times a nat

Had my little 30" Sears for over 25 years now. Had to repair it several times ... I'm probably on the 4th or 5th blade and pull rope for it, but otherwise it just keeps chugging along. When I bought

I've only heard that name as a synonym for EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining). There have been several articles in Home Shop Machinist on how to build your own EDM; some of them were pretty simple.

Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 10:46:00 -0700
I disagree ... low beams put all their light onto the road right in front of you. All that extra light causes your pupils to contract, which makes it harder to see the weaker light from objects in t

I guess your high beams have less side-scatter than mine do, then. I agree the lighting around the corner on mountain roads isn't the best, but my high beams still light them better than the lows. A

Most (perhaps not all) American cars have a circuit breaker built into the headlight switch. At least so all of my shop manuals have said, I've never tested one. I even found a safety recall on a 87

I guess it depends on how fancy it is. For a unit that only controls charge voltage & current, a variable power supply and a load resistor ought to do it. Monitor the voltage output from the tender

Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>

I agree, but IMO you should install them anyway, even if you never spend time in your garage. In some areas, it's illegal to install the springs without the safety wires. Randall

All of my locking lug nuts have been either a free-wheeling device or a funny shape that you can't grab with an ordinary wrench/socket. Are you saying there are some that just lock to the stud & ref

I use a 1500w free-standing "quartz tube" type heater, and I really like it. The infrared heat feels a lot better to me than simple hot air, plus I don't have to wait for it to warm the air ... just

AFAIK, an ordinary wireless router or bridge should be able to do this. It just isn't the most common application. One example is the Netgear WGR614 http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateway
