    Saving a few $$ with Zoro Tools

    Earl ... is your forced air unit heater going to be in an area of water droplets? We used to have hanging from ceiling forced air natural gas unit heaters in our bays & the chlorinated vapors would cause pinholes in their heat exchangers over time. We called the gas utility company recommended...

    Saving a few $$ with Zoro Tools

    Greg & others, I did quick on my own web price comparison & went to my trusty spreadsheet & wound up with net savings & quicker than Zoro. This time Zoro would have had to have a 25% coupon to match. Pexuniverse & Alternative Heating ...both places I reached the free shipping threshold. It...

    Saving a few $$ with Zoro Tools

    Any Zoro Codes that have not expired (sigh) as of yesterday 10/9/2019 date??? With the % off codes Zoro appears to be my first choice on a purchase now or in the very near future for some Taco pumps in series like 2Biz opted to do.

    "Bonus time" vs. Cryptopay count up

    Sequoia & others, Our experience with "bonus time" has been initially (almost 10 years ago we started that approach) the customer was kind of "yawnish" big wuppa deal. As our regular customers realized the gain .... there is no question that it does eventually becomes a very attractive plus...

    Airlift doors

    How is the door configured? There are a huge number of different configuration options. We chose the manual Alaskan from Airlift. It was back in 1999 or so. Prices have gone up so what we paid is less relevant now 20 years later.

    "Citizen's Arrest" re: Dumping

    The current mindset of the local PD is a big factor in getting a complaint filed & for it to stick it seems. Randy's current area's situation appears to be an "effort in futility" littering chargewise ... it seems is reflected by his post. I have very painful memories of how persistent I had...

    Where to get metal troughs

    JM, We used a jigsaw & cut out about a third of the 4" PVC & pop riveted the hinge on the part cut out. No insulation because we have doors on both ends for our north dakota winters. The PVC pipe was still strong enough the unistrut still worked etc. Our ceiling is prestressed hollow core...

    Where to get metal troughs

    We put a stainless steel continuous hinge on a cut out section of our PVC for better access for pinpointing a leak or whatever.

    Just a thought.

    On the vacuum that is almost attached to our building outside we have an air option. It can fill tires & also blow the air based on the type of nozzle. I have seen people use the blow ability of the nozzle. Sometimes on on parts of their vehicle dash etc. I personally would want to wear a...

    Cameras

    We had an incident on Sunday afternoon. This time the Wyze 360° with audio & SD card was the ticket. Not sure how moisture resistant they can be made to be though.

    Car Guide Material

    Depending on the guide's shape etc ... www.interstateplastics.com will actually do the +1/16 of an inch tolerance cuts in an affordable way. A local machine shop friend recently recommended them to us & our experience with them was great. We had them send us a large quantity of plastic pieces...

    "Citizen's Arrest" re: Dumping

    Greg & others, Maybe there was a warrant out for the person. I don't know if anyone else has a problem with apprehending of "a warrant for arrest" persons but it can actually get to the point where it can hurt a business.... considering how the police sometimes blocks both entrance & exits...

    "Citizen's Arrest" re: Dumping

    Duane ... I wonder if you provided the evidence to Waste Management or whoever pickup company that they would help to make sure the individual is fined. It seems like most trash pickup companies nowadays own the dumpster & always have the "illegal dumping" sign on the dumpster ... not the...

    Air Valve Shut Off

    We purposely put our air compressor on a time clock since we close at 10PM to 8AM. That is the only time the compressor could have more than a few hours of that "nonstop run" problem you describe. Greg is on to a partial solution. It seems like a simple logic board where you could program a...

    One of the best decisions I've made

    Agreed about common breaker ability ... not sure if how necessary it is ... but on our industrial duty washers in our laundromat ... in case one contactor's contacts stick ... even if the other contactor's coil is energized the two contactors are wired with a normally closed extra contact that...

    Shoes that stand up to car washes??

    Greg & others, I forgot to mention that we are fortunate to have a local shoe repair shop where I would get the Red Wing's bottom sole replaced as good as new. That explains along with the Red Wing recommended siliconing treatment ... the reason why they were lasting several years. I am not...

    Shoes that stand up to car washes??

    I keep a pair of rubber boots for when I know I will be in a bit more water overspray etc. Also I keep a spare pair quality water deflecting tennis shoes along with a spare pair of wick away type of socks. Wintertime the socks get heavier or are doubled up. Us older 65+ people have to face up...

    How To Make a Temporary High Pressure Hose Patch in Ten Minutes for $2

    Robert, It appears that the range for the Menards approach is 1/2" to 1". On the self service side most of us use 3/8" or even the smaller 1/4" hose. Will the 1/2" still work from your experience on the smaller diameter hoses. In other words a workaround???

    Worth installing credit cards

    Wetspot, I would find someone knowledgeable about the level of ATM usage in your area. Don't go by someone or group of individuals obsessively biased against ATMs. Give out $5 bills like we do. Make sure the ATM is solidly inside a solid wall basically the same precautions as used with "an...

    Diamond, Not good enough. There should be with along with that solution a photorealistic animated screen that comes to life showing their potential squished consequence because of their activity. Just make sure it is not categorized as a sign ... i just read thru some sign stipulations for...
