My weightsafe hitch has a heavy duty 2 inch ball and a hollow clam shell 2 to 2 5/16 adapter . I love how easy it is to switch. https://www.weigh-safe.com/product/clam-shell/

I have a mixed bag of lithium batteries in an highly insulated shed.

Lost power for 20 hours and didn't know it until I started wondering why everyone on the road was black. Love having solar and almost 50 KWH of batteries on all my critical circuits. Best backup generator ever with no noise or smell. Our power goes out a couple times a month.

That's great. When buying from Amazon be sure to give it a good test within the first 30 days because they go by the 30 day Amazon warranty/ return policy. When purchased from the Vevor site they usually replace items that quit working for a year with pictures verifying the problem and the order...

I also add lamp wick to Chinese pipe threads.

I have worked with both of them over the years and neither wants anything to do with the other. From Amazon some things come from Vevor warehouses and others are from Amazon stock and not always the latest ecs or same vendors I have found. Also with no feedback to quality issues and different...

I hope you realize the Vevor stuff on Amazon isn't always the same stuff you get directly from Vevor. Different business using the same name.

Kioti was hit for using a similar color about 2018. That's why they added some red to it 19 on.

I used to send out parts for quotes over 25 years ago when manufacturers started getting greedy and profits on large systems were dropping. Actually discovered our company could have identical complex sheet metal parts made in large quantities in China for less then just the cost of the box...

I recently bought a $20k true 2 ton commercial rated Chinese excavator with a Kubota engine from Japan, load sensing italian piston pump, high end Italian valves, and a 3 year warranty with parts avaliable on the US mainland. Couldn't afford the Kubota and this is a very equivalent machine that...

Gonna take a backhoe to fix that 😆.

The CBP still handles that and are very good at documenting fakes without the deadwood. Actually AI is making them more efficient at tracing supply now. Nothing has really changed over the last year. I think having cheap available Nike knockoff sneakers made side by side in slave factories...

It has been going on for decades and there were alot of deadwood employees that were looking the other way and not addressing the issues. That all is being replaced by AI that can produce more in a minute then most of those employees let go did in their entire career. Time to move to the future...

The people I work with at Vevor take problems with items very seriously. Be sure to contact them and let them know if you have had issues. Usually it's a vendor issue they address the next day plus pull stock according to serial numbers and replace the item. The first store was in Alaska and...

That stinks. In the last 20 years we have had 3 problems that we called about. The phone has always been answered and a return call with a solution. They actually found my package about 60 miles away and had it pulled from the system then put in a courier bag and transferred to them finding...
