    TEMco hammer lug crimp tool review

    I bought this tool for a recent project and was very pleased with it. It appears to be made in America. It is well built and easy to use. It made good solid crimps. For $20 you might not expect too much but this gets a thumbs up in my oppinion. Stay tuned for a link. It didn't transfer like...

    so i can use a microwave but not brew coffee?

    Charger doesn't meet expectations

    This Go Power GPC 35 max charger came as part of our first solar setup. I had never used it but we've been having alot of grey days here. I could really use a few equalizing charges to bring sg up and figured I would plug it in. This unit has no external controls. It is labeled as a smart...

    This fuse block arrived today and I am super excited! It is going to be used in our tiny house project that we've been working on for a couple months. We are taking the solar setup off of our camper (it was way oversized) and putting it in use on the tiny house. Living full time with solar and...

    How to best "over winter" batteries left at home

    I believe my wife and I are kind of in a unique position but the issue of storing batteries might be the same for many folks. So for the sake of discussion I thought I'd start a thread and would greatly appreciate any input more experienced folks might be willing to share. This year we are...
