One tip that I learned from a guy who grew up working in his family's service station is to put a drop of motor oil on top of each post. When he would check the oil in customers' cars he would touch the end of the dipstick to each post leaving a drop of oil. He said his customers never had...

Spray lacquer, it doesn't create layers. Each coat "melts" or amalgamates in to the last coat to make one layer. It makes it easier to touch up blemishes because it eliminates witness marks. There are some good write ups by noremf on stock refinishing on rimfirecentral.

The 2019 Journey comes equipped with a 40TE. I would stay away from the 2.4 multi air engine, I have seen too many become oil burners.

I just remembered why I chose Makita for my work tools that I use every day. That was because they felt better in my medium size hands than the other brands I was considering. I have a 12v Bosch combo at home and the tools are fine for small projects, but I don't like how fat the handles are...

I use the Home Depot Makita set like Trav linked, I think I paid more when I bought mine a few years ago. Last December I was going to buy one of the $99 combo specials to upgrade to brushless for the same price as a couple new batteries. I was about to pay for it when I noticed that the cashier...

Aren't boat engines reverse rotation?

The 4 sided blade is mainly for grass like vegetation it doesn't work as well for woody plants. The 3 sided Stihl blade may be better for you. I use the circular saw looking blades with carbide teeth the most and with enough power it will cut almost anything that is a smaller diameter than the...

It may just need to have the cam/crank position relearned, or it could be off a tooth.

I would replace the rack and pinion and the outer tie rods.

I would wait for a brushless model to come out.

When I was maintaining tractor trailers we always used cheap orange extension cords. They held up well to over the road use with salted roads.

I believe rislone is the better cleaner due to the ester content.

I wasn't happy with the last Marantz receiver I had. It was great with movies but I didn't like it for music it was just too flat sounding. I replaced my speakers and gave the old ones to my dad with a 50x2 Onkyo stereo receiver that was way better with music than my 60w per channel Marantz...
