2026-02-1204 minTrez’s Tech Podcast - Technology At HomeWhy I chose Mr. HeaterFor years I have been trying to use my garage for outdoor winter projects and have ended up freezing and punting my projects until it warms up. This year I think I found a heater that will warm my space up and make it useable. I went with a propane heater by Mr. Heater and I sure hope it keeps me warm. It also doubles as an indoor heater should we lose power or our furnace this winter. It is safe to use and will warm up a couple of rooms to keep us comfortable.

Trez’s Tech Podcast - Technology At HomeCraftsman V20 Battery Shows Fully Charged But Will Not Power ToolsSome of my Craftsman V20 lithium-ion batteries are not powering my tools. They show fully charged by their chargers, the on-battery LEDs show fully charged and my Ohm meter shows 21 volts. I have three models of chargers, a full size CMCB102, a mid sized model CMCB101 and the smallest model CMCB1104. I'm suspecting the CMCB101 is the culprit. When the batteries are fully charged, the lights go off where on the other chargers the green LED goes from blinking to solid when fully charged. This is my story on troubleshooting and how I have gotten my batteries to restart.

2025-10-1721 minTrez’s Tech Podcast - Technology At HomeWhy you need a torque wrench in your toolboxEven shadetree mechanics need a torque wrench. Small engine repairs like changing a spark plug require a torque wrench to ensure you do not over tighten and turn a simple job into an expensive mistake. The torque wrenches I use cost as little as $35. This is my take on why you need a torque wrench in your toolbox.#torquewrench #treztech Ladies First / John Runefelt (www.epidemicsound.com)I'll Be Gone / Nikki Gee (www.epidemicsound.com)
