I got a Foxwell a few years ago, specifically to do ABS and airbag diagnostics that my older Actron code reader wouldn't do. It looks like they've upgraded the models (probably several times since then) but I've been happy with it, and it does ABS/airbag diagnostics well. For example, I was able...

I have, and I think it works pretty well if you don't get heavy-handed. If you try to cut too much at a time or cut too fast (high RPM) you can overheat and ruin the tooth. Do yourself a favor and get the guide that Dremel makes for their tool for sharpening chains, and follow the set-up...

But at least the competition keeps them somewhat reasonably affordable and efficient, most of the time. They could be like the USPS, who keeps raising rates, moaning about losing money, while their service gets even less reliable and less efficient all the time. It used to be unusual to have a...

No disrespect intended - it is a very vivid description! I like it, and may even use it if I ever find the right occasion. And for what's it's worth, I do understand your frustration with mundane tasks like that. I get the same way sometimes.

This reminds me of another Tom I'd heard about. I believe his last name was "Sawyer". :D

One of the guys on Firewood Hoarders said it was very interesting, if you like history and such. I put it on my Christmas list.

Any man that drives needs a 4x4, at least occasionally. ;)

Yep.

Daggone, hate to see that. I know top-handle saws have their place, but they scare me because at some point I know I'll do something with them that I shouldn't. ;) I hope your surgery and recovery goes well!

Nice job, I like that they fit into the existing eyes. They should be good and sturdy that way. I wear lace-up boots daily, either 10" or 12" tops, and would never have a pair without hooks. You made a good improvement!

You're very welcome!

On the newer ones (last 6-8 years or so at least), yes there is. You just push the "Off" button on the control console. I've installed and maintained two of these, one a 17 and one a 22?(I think), at my son's and parents' homes, within the last few years. Both have whole-house 200 amp automatic...

I'm sorry about that. Losing a canine friend is heartbreaking.

Are they good neighbors? If not, let 'er eat. :p 0800 is not unreasonable any day of the week. A lot of good work gets done by working folks well before then. ;)
