I prefer to have all the info in one spot together. Your method will also work for those who prefer that approach. Both approaches are better than trying to search through a pile of receipts and not having the serial number if the tool gets stolen. Thanks for adding an additional approach to those who find it better for them.

>upgradeyourhomediy : Why do you assume the info can't be kept in one spot using the procedure I described? If one spot is your preference, you could simply store the index -- the text file or spreadsheet file or database -- in the same folder as the images (plus any warranty documents you want to save, such as webpages downloaded or printed to pdf). I think it's important to minimize the time required by chores. Otherwise people are likely to procrastinate and might never get around to doing the task. The reason why I suggested an alternative is that the procedure you describe sounds like it will require significantly more time. You might want to test the speed of both procedures (after you practice with both) and then decide which procedure you really prefer. You didn't explain why you prefer it's all in one spot. I think what matters is that it's in a small number of natural, easy-access spots that minimize the overall time needed. Your procedure's dependency on Google largess -- the Photos app, the Collages organizer -- creates an unnecessary risk that Google will someday break the procedure by discontinuing part of it or changing part of it from free to paid premium.

I'm glad you found the video helpful

An impact driver would be too strong for this application. It is great for long screws into wood but a drill, properly used, would work when putting a shorter screw into wood to attach a junction box.

@@upgradeyourhomediy so why was the drill slipping so badly?

I'm glad you found the video helpful.

Thanks for sharing the great idea of setting up a tool list. I did this too and it allowed me to do research and really consider which option was best. I've got most of the tools on the list in the past 3 years. Another option when you don't have a tool is to see if you can borrow one from someone who does have it. I did this when I needed a brad nailer for trim before I got my own. I'm glad you are finding my videos helpful.

I've put Sharkbite fittings in my plumbing and many have worked leak free for more than 5 years; including a sharkbite valve that I installed as my main shutoff valve.

SharkBite fittings carry a 25 year warranty from manufacturing defects. Any plumbing fitting, SharkBite or others, always has the potential to fail if not properly installed. Soldered copper or PEX clamps can fail too. Here's the SharkBite FAQ page that has more answers: www.sharkbite.com/ca/en/resources/faq/push-to-connect-fittings-faq

>upgradeyourhomediy : A careful reading of the 25 year warranty reveals loopholes, since it's only for manufacturing defects... in other words, they have an incentive to blame a leak on improper installation or abuse. How will you prove it was due to a manufacturing defect? It would help to hear from DIYers who have filed warranty claims, about their experiences with the warranty service. To file a warranty claim, you can't remove the Sharkbite fitting from the pipe. You instead need to cut the pipe so that a section of the pipe is still inserted in the fitting you send to them for evaluation. That means you won't be able to fix a leak by simply replacing the Sharkbite fitting; you'd also need to replace the cut-out section of pipe. The coverage on damage caused by a leak is limited to 10 years AND requires proof that the installation was performed by a licensed professional plumber. That's bad news for DIYers. It's also a warning to be careful when hiring a restoration contractor after major damage (fire, flood, etc). It's important to verify the kind of fittings they will install, verify that they will hire a licensed professional plumber to install them, and obtain documentation that can prove a licensed professional plumber did the installation. In my limited experience (a single restoration company after an asbestos abatement company demolished my condo's kitchen) the company uses unlicensed handymen for plumbing and electrical work, and due to their meager plumbing skills they can only do easy solutions (like Sharkbite), not necessarily the best long term solutions.

The SharkBite package or website may list this information for each size of pipe but I highly recommend you get the deburring and depth tool. Not deburring caused me many leaks in the past.

I show some ways to find the correct breaker in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jK2FgaeLy5e5nn0.html. Hope it helps.

@@upgradeyourhomediy oh yes, I seen this video before but, it show the breaker for the light and not the actual switch...

Since the switch is sending power to the light, the breaker that turns off the light is the one that turns off power to the switch. If the switch is in a multi-gang box, check the other switches as well since sometimes there are two different breakers feeding wires in a multi-gang box.

It is on a Bora Centipede. I explain more about the setup in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibZ0daZzyNHIhY0.html.

I can see that benefit when you are carrying the tool, but when I put it in the bag I always remove the battery so it can't run accidentally in the bag. Learned that lesson the hard way with an M12 screwdriver that had a dead battery when I got to the job :(

I was going to say this, keeps my tools from fighting each other in my bag or truck box. Just to add something else helpful, you don't want to drill fast into hard material. most harder materials like steel or concrete you want to drill really slowly or you're just going to overheat and burn out your bits.

I'm glad I could help. I think you will like them.

I checked with an expert in the SharkBite tech support department regarding sandpaper. The issue is with using it too much or too hard and changing the shape or diameter of the pipe so that the O-ring does not work properly. What I showed, using the proper plumber sandpaper and using it to just clean up the pipe with wiping down afterwards is OK. It is also key to use the deburring tool every time. I hope that helps.

@@upgradeyourhomediy Thanks, I was thinking about only using a finer grade sandpaper. Thanks for responding.

@@Scissorman Scotchbrite pad type materials also work well - they make different grades for metals.

I don't have enough time with these lights to answer how often they need to be recharged or how many times they can be recharged. It will depend on how often you go into that closet. I like them because they do not require any wiring and can be adjusted easily to shine where needed. The challenge with a lamp is that it does not shine from above in the closet so it leaves some areas still dark. You also have to turn the lamp on where these come on with motion. Different solutions will work for different people and I've found this one works for us.

>upgradeyourhomediy : For how many amp-hours is the battery rated? Is the battery user-removable/replaceable? Is there a way to determine the battery's charge level?

>upgradeyourhomediy : Doesn't light "shining from above" leave _more_ areas dark than light shining from behind the person looking into the closet? A camera flash illuminates everything the camera can see, but light from the overhead sun causes a shadow under the subject's nose.

Before I built the top I only used the included clamps to clamp material to the top, I didn't use them in the provided slots. I find the clamps hard to get into the slots and set up that way they don't allow sheet goods to be clamped. I use clamps on the work table mostly for sheet goods. If I have a number of cuts on 2x lumber I am more likely to set up the miter saw since the cuts are more accurate and faster. The new Ryobi speed bench does look interesting but it also looks larger and might be harder to store depending on the space available. Hope that helps.

@@upgradeyourhomediy Much obliged for the detailed answer; it’s really helpful. I could even see routing some dovetail grooves into the top to use micro jig clamps for more versatility. Looks like this will be my Father’s Day present to myself this year.

I’m glad the video helped you out!

Awesome! With this new top the Worx Pegasus has become my first option for working on a project.

I’m glad you found the video helpful.

I have partially opened the valve to restrict the flow when testing after a repair so I think you could leave it partially open if you didn’t want the full water flow.

Good point. I know the dimmer in our kitchen brings the lights on over a second or so. Perhaps it has a ramp up feature built in.
