For the cordless screwdriver, I would recommend the not so well known but excellent "NoCry 10 N.m Cordless Electric Screwdriver - with 30 Screw Bits Set, Rechargeable 7.2 Volt Lithium Ion Battery and a Built-in LED Light". I love mine and it's the most powerful small cordless screwdriver out there, I love it.

Someone once asked me to borrow a “screwdriver”. Without asking him what kind, I just handed him my 11 in 1. To my dismay, he really didn’t want a screwdriver, he wanted a prybar to lift a raised floor tile. Needless to say, when the tool was returned, he handed it to me point up because he knew that the bit would now fall out. Once you try to pry anything with an 11 in 1, you knock the bit holder out of shape and nothing will “ click” into place. Now I have an 11 in 1 for parts . Had to buy a new one. Lesson learned.😩

if you want a thinner wall, chuck it up in a drill with one hand, and use an angle grinder with the other hand. and grind the wall thinner while simultaneously spinning the drill. spinning the drill in the same direction as the grinding wheel seems to feel a little smoother.

Just put tape on the door switch because when it stops working sometimes you can't see the flashing light thru the little glass and you have to remove the door if the switch isn't taped it kills the low voltage and you lose the code it was flashing so you have to let it time out and hope it flashes the code again

Thanks so much for all your videos and the clear presentations. You have helped me so much as a DIY. Just wondering what gauge and kind of wire do you use for splicing two broken wires together in a heat pump and/or an air handler? Can you use a lower gauge such as 12 to splice together a broken 14 gauge wire? I suppose what I am trying to ask is do you keep one gauge wire with you on service calls or different gauge wires and if so do you know if Amazon, etc. sells it in a bundle (similar to thermostat wire but different size wire gauge) and what is the best wire to use. Just trying to think ahead if I come across a broken wire in my heat pump due to mice, etc. Again, thanks for all you do and thanks for your time!
