So, a T-Tap is an insulation displacement connector on one wire, used to connect to a spade terminal on another. And the equivalent scotchlok is essentially two insulation displacement connectors in

To me, scotch-locks are things that connect wires without stripping them. 3M does seem to use the term for a ton of different items, so maybe the wire nut type is called that too. -Steve ___________

Lots of good advice so far, except I hate unvented heaters. I really don't want to be breathing in what they put out. As for keeping it above freezing, I agree. Not winterizing the motor home makes m

I am probably stating the obvious, but if you lift the weight with one hand while pulling the chain with the other, it is a lot easier on both the clock mechanism and whatever is holding the clock to

I don't think that is correct. My house has two outlet circuits wired with a single run of 14-3 Romex and a 220 breaker. Some outlets use one side of the 220, some use the other. But they all use th

I'm not a big fan of it myself. It makes the wiring harder to figure out. You can't use a standard GFI type breaker. Independent control of the circuits would be nicer than the single 220 breaker. Bu

An exhaust shop could use their bender and dies to increase a bend, but I don't know how that would help when the goal is to decrease a bend. I could walk in with a pipe and ask for "a little more be

Well, you must be a stronger man than I am. The only way I could possibly see doing that is where a bend has a couple of feet of straight pipe on each side for leverage. It doesn't always work out li

That seems like a whole lot of fluid to me. I see a change in color of brake fluid at the bleeder, and at that point I figure I'm getting clean fluid. I'd say I typically use half the fluid you do.

Even if you bench bleed it, you still have to bleed it in the car. It is just helpful to have only a little bit of air to get rid of, instead of an entirely empty cylinder. __________________________
