Why I chose Mr. Heater
For 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.

Craftsman V20 Battery Shows Fully Charged But Will Not Power Tools
Some 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.

How to clean your lawn mower engine and deck
Make sure your engine is off and is cool. Take a bottle of engine cleaner/degreaser and soak the engine, deck, grass catcher bag, wheels and the handle. Let it sit for 15 minutes, scrub with a soft bristle brush and then rinse thoroughly. Voila your mower looks good as new! Make sure not to directly spray the gas tank cap or air filter. Blow it dry with a leaf blower and you are ready for the showroom.Check out my web pages and blogs. They can be found at trezstech.com and trezblencowe.com

Why you need a torque wrench in your toolbox
Even 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)
