Deflect-O RCDVT Exhaust Roof Cap with Tailpiece for Dryer Venting
Customer Review
Installed 5 months ago to replace the roof vent that Pulte Homes proudly installed to the end of our Dryer line instead of approved Dryer exhaust (yeah - no kidding). The installation was relatively easy as I was replacing an existing vent and it gives me piece of mind that the fire hazard (and potentially illegal vent) was removed.
The material looks like a solid plastic that would not crack - but let's see what the winter will do. The vent has big flap and big enough exhaust so no lint was caught in the past few months of use. Let's see how often the cleaning will be required. |
Stanley 43-609 11-3/4-Inch FatMax Xtreme Magnetic Torpedo Level
Customer Review
Good level, don’t know that I'd go "great" on it, but it is very good. Extremely heavy duty, strong magnet, and one adjustable level makes for a very solid torpedo level. May be a little too large to make it a comfortable back pocket torpedo level or for some work belts.
Amazon’s price crushes any Lowes or Home Depot price as usual. |
Klein 931-9RE Rare Earth Magnet Torpedo Level
Customer Review
Typical Klein. Made in the USA, well made, strong magnets. There is a reason most electricians choose Klein tools. |
Stabila 25100 10-Inch Die-Cast Rare Earth Magnetic Level
Customer Review
This is my second Stabila torpedo level and I just can't see using anything else. With its magnetic edge, it a great 3rd hand (so to speak) in tight spots. |
Aprilaire Model 400 Automatic Whole-house Drainless Bypass Humidifier with Digital Control
Customer Review
Installation was easy. Unit is working as advertised. I really like the ability of the unit to power itself and the blower on and humidify the house even when the furnace is not running and the ability of the humidistat to automatically adjust the humidity as the outside temperature changes. No wasted water is a bonus. |

Why did my hvac installer install a return air vent that pulls in outside air?
It is probably a fresh air intake.
Why does my bath fan blow air back into the bathroom?
Something is blocking the exhaust.
Why electronic furnace air filters makes constant ticking sound?
Because of it's a moronic design! Disconnect the power and replace all it guts with a 4" - 5" pleated filter.
Why my air return filters popping after air shuts off?
Many air units have filters located in the grill, usually without a filter at the handler. It will decrease intake flow but, here again, many handlers can be set to operate at faster and slower speeds. The problem you may run into is if there is too much 'drag' on the intake, is 'oil-canning' at the air handler.
There is a popping noise that happens when the air handler shuts off. The noise is caused by excessive negative pressure in the air handler, which could result from too much drag caused by multiple filters and/or the handler speed is too high or ducts too small, or even clogged filters.
Why my ductwork makes a clicking sound when I turn on the heat?
It's because so far you have not visited this page (above) on my site!
Why my high efficiency gas furnace vent "blowing water"?
Your furnace has a P-trap inside, maybe it’s clogged, or if your condensate line is glued directly to the P-trap then it can be clogged.

Solid product. Note that there's a bit of work to installing this yourself, but a reasonable handyman DIY type should be able to handle it. I live in Minneapolis and even in Oct, the air starts to get pretty dry, after less than a day I could notice a significant difference. |

Bosch GPL3T 3-Point Torpedo Laser Alignment Kit
Customer Review
Great product--great price. I originally saw this item at Lowes, with a sale price of $99. Shopped around online and found it at Amazon for almost $30 less than the price at Lowes. It's a nice tool, and the machining and accuracy is great. It allows me to perform leveling tasks that formerly took two people or a lot of time fiddling with a string level. One suggested improvement would be to alter the case to hold the supplemental leveling base plate. Because it won't fit in the case, it's likely to get separated from the tool and lost or left behind. Otherwise, I have no complaints about this tool. |
Stanley 43-511 Magnetic Shock Resistant Torpedo Level
Customer Review
Not my primary level, but this one is perfect and was a great price for the more portable tool box. Seems sturdy and accurate, with rubber in the right places when (not if) you drop it during use or transit. Price seemed good, too. |
Whirlpool 30-48KITRC Gas Range Connector Kit
Customer Review
The kit I received worked great. It's good they included the 3/4" adapter (as well as two 1/2" ones), since I needed that to connect the supply side. The hose I received was steel with a yellow protective coating. Your hose will look yellow instead of metallic like the picture. Installation will take two wrenches that handle at least 1-1/8" or so, can't remember exactly. I really had to crank these suckers on to get a leak free seal on my supply side - no limp-arming it. |
Broan-Nutone 636 Roof Vent Cap Only
Customer Review
Several months ago, I purchased this vent for my master bath. Now, I am purchasing a second vent because we are upgrading a second bath. Product is made to last and is easy to install. Quality all-metal product. Durable and well manufactured piece of equipment. Great value for the price! I do wish it came with a collar for easy hookup of flex pipe. (Minor problem) I won't hesitate to recommend this one. |
