Re: [MBZ] Generator

i've been trying to choose between Diesel and propane for a whole house generator, and decided in favor of propane due to this -14°F night. I have doubts that a Diesel genset would have started when they turned to power off at 7AM this morning. On Tue, Feb 16, 2021 at 4:39 PM Kaleb Striplin via

[MBZ] Backup Generators etc

Dan and Jim appear to be the experts so I will sort of address this to them, but anyone else that knows should pitch in too. My understanding is that one needs a whopper of a generator to power up electric heat. Not only big enough but tough enough to run for long periods of time at high

Re: [MBZ] OT: Milwaukee vs Dewalt followup

Dewalt and B are owned by the same company, so is Craftsman and Stanley. I wouldn't call a Dewalt a B, 20v vs 12v at the very least. B actually makes a pretty good tool. We've got a 12v drill and weed whacker at camp that are pretty good tools. Buddy Ben used to work at a fish farm, they used

Huh, so a little research suggests that Makita is owned by... Makita. In business since 1915. I've beaten the daylights out of my 4 1/2" Makita grinder for 22 years now, maybe I'll consider something from them. Rigid, Ryobi and Milwaukee are owned by the same company... -Curt On Tuesday,

Re: [MBZ] Backup Generators etc

That whole 'clean' power thing is a racket, if you ask me. Line power is notoriously _not_ clean, at least occasionally. Especially in developing areas. Most stuff that runs on electronics ends up making a DC supply out of it anyway, from which it either runs directly, or powers a
