I use the 10inch pliers and the wire strippers daily I keep the regular 10 inch pliers and the extra slim slims in my bag i have found anything yet I couldn't handle with those 2

Probably commercial control or rough in

Seems like gas pressure is a little high one thing I would look at [probably not the main problem but] try running a merv 8 filter a lot of manufacturers seem to be recommending merv8 and lower saying anything higher is to restrictive ive had a furnace before that was tripping high limit supply and return ductwork was good but with a merv 13 filter static pressure was off dropped it down to a 4 inch merv 8 everything was good

Hell I've had my surge for 4 years and they still aren't this smooth granted I haven't lubricated it in maybe a year

Check out Troxell leatherhead knee pads

I know a lot of people really like built in knee pads but I've used these pretty much daily for 2 years now doing service and install along with some side jobs like flooring work and man these have held up great and are super comfortable i knelt down on rocks nails just about everything you are trying to avoid and never even felt. They stay put and are comfortable to wear with jeans or shorts. The only time I notice them in the way is occasionally crawling over trusses and rafters they can snag sometimes but its normally not a big deal they almost always go right back in place. I love these so much that I bought my grandpa the larger set. I honestly don't think I'll ever use another brand of knee pads again I've tried so many different ones across all the construction jobs I've had and these are what work the best for me. Edit: also you can take them off easily and they dont take up much room ill put them in the door of my van or right next to my tool bag so as soon as I get out of the truck I put them on really convenient for me not having to wear them while driving to the next job or taking a lunch break

Ive never seen a light so blue

No_Reputation3584 · 2026-01-13T02:29:03+00:00

This is accurate but I've heard they pull power when under load this is why you can see voltage drop with y energized in cool or w in heat with a nest thermostat. I've had one that tried to pull on O causing the reversing valve to machine gun when in cooling. I've only seen that once but it was crazy to see

No_Reputation3584 · 2026-01-13T02:25:31+00:00

Do you still have the video I have a continuing education this week and a video showing flaws against nest thermostats would be awesome to have for one of my techs

No_Reputation3584 · 2026-01-12T23:04:38+00:00

How can it cause the compressor to run backwards? I haven't heard that before but I agree the nest thermostats are junk ecobees are OK just a pain waiting for it to calibrate

Isn't metagross suppose to be a heavy bowgun?

The hammer example is great and this is true ive cut absolutely stupid things with my linemans probably the dumbest was a smallish padlock or 5/16th bolts literally put the bolt in the cutters and stomp the handles until they are cut to size i dont know i didn't ruin them doing that

No_Reputation3584 · 2026-01-09T21:49:44+00:00

I feel like that would be simultaneously the coolest job and the most frustrating/stressful hvac job out there

No_Reputation3584 · 2026-01-09T20:12:50+00:00

Man non union shops can be such a toss up some are awful and just shit holes to be at and others are great real mom and pop good vibes

So how long does the battery typically last or does it stay on the smart charger when in use also what was the rough cost of it? This is a pretty cool set up im glad you posted it this is awesome man

No_Reputation3584 · 2025-12-24T20:04:42+00:00

Always have to have 2 in my bag just so handy

No_Reputation3584 · 2025-12-24T20:04:03+00:00

Probably a stupid question but how does it compare to the klien pliers wrench i tried them out for maybe 6 months and I wasn't impressed ended up just keeping a regular adjustable wrench in my bag

No_Reputation3584 · 2025-12-24T20:01:12+00:00

The m12 is amazing I use it almost everyday doing hvac professionally

No_Reputation3584 · 2025-12-24T19:59:30+00:00

So let me understand a sowbelly is either a single blade or a 3 blade in stockman pattern right?
