drain fly problem

I'd rather turn off the shop vac. Cover the end of the hose maybe with a plastic bag and rubber band. Pop the hose off the hole on top of the vac, spray into the hole, and put hose back. The way those things move air, spraying into a running shop vac just blows bug spray out the ...

Fluorescent bulb types...

Screwgun Recommendation

I WORKED in a machine shop. A friend is the only option until I have the space and extra money to set up my own hobby machine shop.

Safety Tempered glass = "toughened"?

Or anyone that has found half an arm in the debris they are cleaning up after some drunk puts his arm through a plate glass shop front. As happened to one of the service guys during my spell installing alarms for Chubb (~1972).

Who has an LP license?

The problem with them including the shop charge fee to something else would make them higher than their competitor's parts. People not in business for themselves just don't understand that. They would make their purchase from the shop with the lower cost tires.
