MACHINES

I bought this opener in January of 2022, it's now Dec of 2023 and has worked as expected 99.9% of the time. It has even worked better since I sprayed the chain and gears with non-dust collecting lube.A couple times in heavy ice storms I had to help it start (before the lube), the rest of the time it has worked great.I suspect part of the reason my remotes only reach about 75' is they are key fobs plugged into the ignition thus signal is blocked by car engine and my opener is mounted with the control board and antenna on the opposite side road approach.I recently added a wifi garage door opener to the gate and it adds a whole nether level to the coolness of having an automated gate!

This wire stripper is excellent. No adjustment needed for all sizes of wire. I’m an electrical contractor so I have a lot of scrap wire. Now I can get bare bright price instead of insulated price. It’s easy enough that my kids can use it. Be careful with small stranded wire, run it through a size bigger hole or some of the strands get cut making very sharp bits that can get you when pulling off the insulation. I’ve run over a hundred pounds of wire through it already and it seems to be great.

Great unit so far, I use this to clean miniatures of factory primer and other dirt and after one run it had easily stripped some nolzur's marvelous miniatures of their thick white primer down to the original plastic with a mix of about 10:1 water to Simple Green cleaner. That in itself is outstanding.
The main issue is that while the lid reduces noise and fits absolutely flush to the machine, the basket has handles that hang up and over the sides of the machine. The lid features no cutouts for the basket, so when the machine is running there is a 3mm gap all the way around the lid which GREATLY increases the noise...
