I wish I had known about Circuit Board Medics 2 weeks ago. My shop furnace quit working, or rather it was acting really wonky (and not heating). This is a ceiling hung gas/forced air job and I think I...

Post: RE: Washing Machine Hoses

So if someone has a, say, QD faucet fitting stuck on a hose bib how do you get it off...or do you? Would heating it slightly break the corrosive bond? Not me, of course, asking for a friend. :laugh:

I didn't compare the current prices, but some years ago I use Hettich slides (undermount) because they are cheaper than Blum. For side mount I usually go with KV. I've had very good luck with both bra...
