    Handheld blowers

    I use the bottom of the line Stihl gas blower, and it works well. My son swears by the Milwaukee M18 battery unit. It's all in the air flow. More air flow = better. Somebody needs to try a backpack blower and report back. ;)

    New Trucks Gas

    We sold our 2018 Ford F-150 4x4 with a 2.7L Ecoboost in March, with 88,000 trouble free miles. Mostly used for road trips, and usually towing a trailer with a motorcycle or two. Never pulled more than 5,000 pounds, and not often. This new one is that F-150 4x4 3.5L Ecoboost, because they...

    Do gas chainsaws make any sense for a homeowner?

    The easy button for "homeowner" chainsaw is electric. Battery or corded. If you can get by with a corded saw, then that's going to be the cheapest way to go. If I were worried about a disaster situation, then I'd have a generator to go along with that corded chainsaw. If my area was really...

    Alternative for Kohler 12-50-01 (short) oil filter that's common ?

    I need these short filters because the steering arm hits the longer Kohler 12-050-02 and the 3614 filters. Fram PH8172 cross references, but I cannot find them locally, and they're $15 on Amazon. Nor the SuperTech 8172, or anything in AC Delco, etc. Went to O'Reilly's and they cross...

    Considering a Stihl MS 250 chainsaw

    This thread has some good info. I have an old Husky that just keeps going and going (with a bit of refurbishment). A Stihl 270 and a Milwaukee battery pole saw. We don't burn wood anymore, and I'm getting too old for the large saws. I was looking at a Stihl 170 the other day. It's...

    6 mo OCI or sooner?

    My Wife's commute is three miles. On a new car, and two years to the date of purchase, the muffler rusted and fell off.

    They don't have to know. It's all about feelings. Like, who wouldn't want virgin base stock ? 🤣🤣🤣

    Not familiar with car sales tactics from this era, enlighten me please.

    Ya gotta shop around, and sometimes it's painful. I discovered that walking into the showroom with my checkbook is a bad move. They really want the buyer that's poor, hard to finance, and buys every bit of extra warranty and everything else that want to add. I recently tried to buy a new...

    People saying to change your oil at 1000 miles on new vehicle.

    I usually go 1,000 on a new automobile, and 500 on a motorcycle. 5 hours on a lawnmower. I cannot bring myself to use a Fram oil filter, but judging by the huge Walmart display, everyone else buys them. It's what makes me sleep well at night

    Rerefined motor oil?

    Right now, it's hard to find a motor oil on the shelf that doesn't have "synthetic" in the description. . That particular marketing term is well worn. Perhaps (in a few years) they'll start using "100% Virgin Base Stock" in their advertising. Or not.
