so what yuh decide on ?

[adnj]

The Weller butane irons (if you were in the market for one) are US$50 to $100, so that's a very fair price, IMO.

I think my supervisor would watch me and ask if I'm crazy.

As I said before, I have one. I paid for it. Sometimes crazy feels good.

[pugboy]

the bad news is the lil electric chainsaw drill attachment I buy the other day fall apart
used it on some dry dead lime tree branches and it twisted itself apart

it was only good on green softer branches

[Rovin]

^^^ like u barely get ur less than us20 worth , but seriously though that coulda damage u bad, i will prolly never have use for a mini chain saw but dise why i does fraid dem mickey mouse cheap stuff


this look good though ....

[pugboy]

yes, sometimes you get what you pay for

milwaukee has a nice small recip saw which looks like that with short strokes
a gate guy came by me to do some work and had to cut a piece of metal which was deep in a hole,
he used that and it worked real good, a regular size recip saw would have been very difficult

can JB waterweld be used to seal a hole in a 1000 gallon tank?

hole is right near the bulk head.....

[pugboy]

doubt, nothing really sticks to polyethylene plastic
they repair by plastic welding

i have a 600 with a leak on bottom edge

Rotoplastics supposed to have a good standing warranty. Call them and see what they say. Repairs may not hold up to the weight of water inside and eventually fail again. Plus they have another layer of virgin LDPE polyethylene called "Health Gard" inside to stop leaching of plastic into your drinking water like what they have inside juice boxes and coke cans. A repair would mean that this layer is breached anyway.

search YT for project farm , he did some tests with jb weld & other products like it ...

A padna give me the tank a few days ago. He paid 500 to repair it already and it failed. So he just buy a new tank

I was gonna use it as a filter over a pond so the leak isn't a issue but if it's a easy fix I wanted to try it.


Btw where can I get led lights like this locally and would it cost less than Amazonning it in

Modern Electrical have those lights, last price was around $450.

[pugboy]

satco have one

[Chimera]

I want a good warranty though. I must be get about 15 of those led flood lights changed under warranty by boodoos. Green brand. Quality shitty but they honor the warranty

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Forget all them fancy lights....go solar for around the same price or less...working out good thus far...keep ttec in mind

The IP rating that’s required for tropical conditions ideally is 67. Modern gives warranty on the lights, as for the solar lights, you have to consider the quality of the panels, battery storage and life.

[maj. tom]

I saw PriceSmart had some LED floodlights. Commercial thing.
https://pricesmart.com/site/tt/en/pdp/411024

If the LED keeps giving out from Boodoo's you're right it's shitty quality, a bad, cheap driver circuit and poor quality manufactured diode. Good that they honouring the warranty, but you're wasting your time with that.

[pugboy]

I installed 2 of the pricesmart ones the other day,
3yrs ago I used the satco ones and they still working good, I got them for $300
now all them lights are $450+

the satco ones come with the arm pole whilst the pricesmart one flat mount.

high and out you get better dispersio coverage

[Chimera]

60 watt kinda dull @ pricesmart one

I looking for a few to put along the road in front my house. Street lights too dull

[Strugglerzinc]

There's a place called Bass LED in Cunupia, they sell many LED variations.

Cheaper option, outdoor bell socket (can have 3 bulbs), individual outdoor LED 100W flood lamp bulbs, bulbs can be adjusted to whichever direction you require, if a bulb blows, just replace one bulb instead of entire light fixture.

[Rovin]

[Chimera]

Home expo gives 1 month warranty on the same item that tool king gives 3 months on

[Rovin]

depending on d items pricing seems similar though 1 may have somethings a few $ cheaper

seeing how they so closely located to each other must be rel fight up for sales between them ...
