I’m investigating my home HVAC system and have low airflow in a register ( 90 cfm vs 130 cfm). It’s fed with a 6 inch round duct off the trunk line to a 6 inch 90 degree boot in the wall. The wall is 2x4 studs. The damper at the 6“ duct by the trunk line is wide open. I would like to change the...

I'm thinking of doing some investigation on my home HVAC system and am looking for a decent tool to check the static pressure at the unit and in the ductwork. Would like to keep it under $100. Any HVAC technicians with recommendations??

I have a metal box type fan that swivels on a stand and is 3 speed. Several months ago I was using it to dry a sofa that I had just cleaned with a water extractor. I set it up, went inside, returned and it had stopped working. No odor, no hum, no movement at all on any of the 3 speeds. Finally...

Well I did something dumb. I needed to open up the drill chuck for a mixing paddle and apparently forced it past the proper point. Now the chuck is stuck open - it will turn about a quarter turn each way (clockwise and counterclockwise) and that is all. I’ve tried putting extra torque to get it...

My company rents from Enterprise and National. Lately we have been frequently unable to get rental cars- they simply don’t have any. We were told that when Covid hit they sold most of their fleet to make up for the business shortfall and now that things are slowly opening back up they have more...

Lowe's shop vac. When I first turn it on (and am not vacuuming) the motor runs, then slows down and almost dies, then runs back up and does fine. There is an "electric odor" when this happens, but those are the only symptoms - no unusual noises, no screeching. Just a loud shop vac. I took the...

I Currently have painted wheels on my 2016 Fusion. Been reasearching wheel cleaners and sealers/ waxes. Seems to me that nothing should be put on them that I would not put on the paint of the car, so I’m thinking to use the soap from the car wash ( Meg gold class) and sealant that I use on the...
