Re: [DIY] Standing Water in Bathroom Sink - Finally Went down real slow so guess a clog

 

If you have a "Dollar Tree" store in your area, you may be able to pick one up there. They have them here in my area (Ohio) for $1.00.....just like everything else in a Dollar Tree store..........They do work well, as long as the clog in in the "trap" and not further down the line.

Drain stoppage most likely hairball, removable w/ drain zipper as advertised on TV, works well, Cost= $1-$3/each; alternate if open drain, vs strainer is hairpins, tooth[aste caps, razors, combs.  If white PVC plastic drain, tools most likely not required, just get a pan and remove, clean, reinstall.  NEVER use tools to tighten plastics.

Re: [DIY] Cordless Skill Saw

 

Most of my tools are cord based, but I have a friend really into the cordless.
Since most of his tools are cordless, it boiled down to "what battery pack style to commit to".
The batteries are where they really kill you on cost.  I think he went with Rigid (Home depot house brand), and Ryobi (a couple of tools styles only in that line).

Most of his advice is for building out a cordless tool inventory: look for the promotional package deals, or the "sent to die" shelf at most Home Depot.
have a shelf set up with all the chargers that came with the different tools, keep as many batteries fully charged as possible, so when 1 battery is drained, on to the next.
He has been pretty happy with the cordless tools, works as a handyman. Has a power strip and charger farm in his on-site work van.

They are introducing larger batteries, which typically plug into the same form factor, giving more power and endurance, I think my friend has at least one cordless skill saw.

Cordless batteries have come a long way since I tried one and gave it up as junk, going back to the corded tools I've picked up over the years.
I'm willing to consider the Rigid line, if there is some need for cordless.

unscrew the drain and clean it out,  Get a big bucket, and it is probably plastic, it unscrews.

Hi Debbie;

  There are very effective flexible plastic plumbing snakes,
that are about 2ft long with barb hooks on the sides and a
finger loop at the end. They work really well and sell for as
little as a couple of dollars.   Though they are often sold in
multiples they actually last a long time before the barbs get
dull or break off.    ..Another advantage to this type of drain
snake is they can generally be fed down many sink drains
past the stopper. They are really easy to use. We use one
every few months on our tub and bathroom sink drains.. 

Here is a link to a page with several pictures:

Debbie
Yes when our bathroom sink or tub start draining slow I know it is time to do the baking soda/ vinegar cleanse

Or you can buy chemical drain cleaners at the grocery store/Walmart

Do a google search for baking soda and vinegar for plugged drains.

Hi,

We have standing water in the bathroom sink.  Has been going down slow a long time and now doesn't seem to at all. What can we do to have water drain?  Thanks.

Re: [DIY] Re: Cordless Skill Saw

 

I agree with Scott.  You can get corded saw cheap that are used.  I have bought 3 worm drives for between $15-30 and all are name brand like Makita, Ridgid  and Ryobi.  Worm drives are heavier than others but they last longer and are more expensive at retail than "regular" ones.  For a woman, you may not want to get a worm drive though.

Believe it or not, I still use power cord drills for large jobs like screwing down subfloor or deck boards etc. Be smart. Dont just buy the latest gadgets because they are new. FWIW.... my favorite cordless drill/driver is a rubber handled screwdriver.

We ended up buying a Wagner paint sprayer to me to use painting a couple of stalls in the barn. $80 minus 10% showing a veterans card.
Will get our money out of it painting walls in the barn every summer.

We can pull a cord around for a skill saw before spending $300 to $600. Price surely will come down... someday

Craftsman is 70 dollars.  Big battery is 100.  Still need a charger - I did not look that up because you seemed to ignore any mention of Sears.

[DIY] Re: Cordless Skill Saw

 

Forgot to ad. Farm and Fleet had Milwaukee cordless skill saws but they were only 18V so I didnt bother pricing one. I want a 60 V.
Why? Because I am a woman and that is how I do things lol.
I buy so much at the local thrift store that I will splurge on some things like tools... but I still wont overspend on them and I wait until I can buy what I want and nothing less ;)
