    B&D LHT 2436 Hedger sharpening

    Forgot all about this post.I found that sharpening with the right file works wonders.A little patience is all it takes.Nothing like a sharp hedge trimmer.

    Westinghouse pressure washer

    I solved my dilemma.Thesark plug wrenches I've had over the years came thru.1 went into the other and the holes in them gave me length and leverage

    Westinghouse pressure washer

    Had this equipment for 2 years and it works,and runs superbly.Heres what I have noticed...in maintaining this unit,it's hard to get at the spark plug if you don't have a deep socket.Thetein lies my problem.I can't find ANY info on what size socket to get.Anyone have this same unit? WPX 3200.

    Maybe raise the height.If mine is too low,that'll happen.Spinning is impeded.

    Craftsman vs Stanley

    Hey all.I'm sure this was discussed before,and probably often.At my job,there are reps who transport materials between hospitals. I have noticed these big plastic totes w/wheels are either Stanley or Craftsman.My thing is.. they are both identically the same.I know Sears is no more,so did...

    Fuel

    Hey TLloyd,i'm in NC myself,but I see no reason you can't use regular fuel.As long as you don't let it get stale.Now that WILL cause problems.I like using a stabilizer to keep it as fresh as possible while stored.I'm partial to Seafoam.But there's others out there.2 small capfuls in your gas can...

    Hey guys/gals...Hot summer coming.I know Stihl uses T27 screws.So I recently purchased a DeWalt drill/driver.But going to Home Depot,and Lowe's I couldn't find a T27 drill bit.Plenty of T25's,but no T27's.Anybody has any ideas of a place to get one from? Online or otherwise?

    On the FS56 weedeater

    Been going thru the love hate relationship with this stick.If you run this hard as in edging,and it gets hot and cuts off,is this normal? I'm thinking i need to adjust the idle speed or the throttle speed.Otherwise it's a very versatile tool.Took it to the shop once,and yea they set the...

    Westinghouse pressure washer

    Got the WPX 3200.Nicely built. Looks like a toy. It's not!!! Plenty of power. Easy to assemble, and even easier to use. Takes a whole gallon tho'.Best $300 i've spent in a while. Notwithstanding my Stihls.

    Westinghouse pressure washer

    Actually,you are 100% correct!!!! But I was looking for like-minded folk who may have OWNED 1 for recommendations or demerits before I pay for it.

    Westinghouse pressure washer

    So I've been in the market for a pressure washer..decided on a Simpson 3200,but since I'm not gonna need it much,I've decided to do a Westinghouse 3200.Price was a main factor in case I manage to mess it up,and I will.Simple easy to use.Plenty of power.What say you all?

    Stihl FS56

    I feel so foolish,but relieved.After still dealing with my weedeater just cutting off and/or slowing down and stopping,I decided to do some adjusting myself.So I adjusted the idle speed and lo-speeds.Afterwards cleaning off the spark plug.Here's the A HA!! moment...spark plug was loose as a...

    Is the Stihl Motomix 50:1 Fuel worth it?

    I too have a BG50.I also have only used trufuel,for every 2 cycle with no problems.But I may give Opti 2 a try.

    Stihl 2-in-1 sharper

    I've got the MS 170.A good saw for novices like me.But using that jig has me wary.Although I've yet to use the saw since "trying" to sharpen it.What do y'all think about the 2-in-1?

    Stihl FS56

    Answer:Took it to the dealer,told them the problem.That was Mon. May 15.I'm thinking I'd have it back Fri. or Sat.Called me Tues.It was ready.Just needed to adjust the carb.Best $10 I ever spent.

    Stihl FS56

    Hey all,new dilemma.Lately my "stick" has developed an attitude.As I am using her to weed eat,she'll cut off like it ran out of gas.This happens after about a good 10-15 mins in.Fuel filter is ok,new plug & air filter.Have ALWAYS used tru fuel in it.Sounds like a carb issue?
