Worthless. In a big snow you won't be able to move at all, and after about two or three small snows, you won't be able to put the snow anywhere because you'll be hemmed in by the banks made by the fi

I'm coming into this thread halfway, but I'd postulate that they might use a modulated signal and a few diodes to multiplex two signals on two wires. You can also use resistors to generate another se

Pressure will drop with resistance anywhere in the line, including of course the hose you use. (think Ohm's law) If it really matters, put a regulator right at the tool and crank the tank one wide op

They are called tamper-proof bits, or something like that. Once you know the name, they aren't hard to find. Canadian Tire (big chain) sells them here, for example. A set of bits is a couple of dolla

Easy-outs to me are pretty much the devil. I can't think of the last time they actually worked for me, if ever. The main problem with them is that they snap, and when they snap, you are sunk. You can

Soaking in penetrating oil is a good start, even just while you ponder your next steps. If it sticks out, you can cut a slot in the top and try to move it with a big screwdriver. Or cut flats on the

Do you live in a cold area? I use flourescents and think they are the best overall, and generally take less than a second to light up. Only when it's cold is it a problem, so I have some incandescent
