    In the market for a Circular Saw

    Just as the title says. What brands should I look for? How much should I spend? Corded or cordless?

    Help with this...

    I am building a UV light box (it's a photography project). The instructions I have are not very good and they don't tell you how to attach the ballasts (the wiring) to the sockets where the lamps will be attached to. These are the sockets I got...

    Ice maker on my Fridge

    Cheers! We own a KSCS25FVMS01 (KitchenAid) fridge. It stopped making ice like a month ago. This was not the first time it had happened. This occurred every time the "teeth" of that part came off the unit and I had to put it back in place then it would resume making ice again. The part...
