    Air Compressors - Overkill or not?

    I have not really gotten into the electric impact game yet, although I keep eyeing them. Still using my trust 20 year old IR 1/2 and 3/8 drive

    Air Compressors - Overkill or not?

    Most of the time it worked unless I used my die grinder for more than a quick job. Or when I used my DA sander...ugh looks like I’m talking myself into the big’un

    Air Compressors - Overkill or not?

    So my Craftsman oil-less 30 gallon is dying a slow death after 20 years of loud, faithful use. I want to replace it, but keep wrestling with the variables of CFM, noise, size and cost. My usage consists of mainly my 1/2 impact, sprinkler blow-outs, occasional HVLP air gun use for small jobs...

    Garage subpanel size

    Good idea on the subpanel for the kitchen. I think there were about 8 or so openings in the panel, but I did not disassemble during the inspection to see if they were capable of using the double breakers. I plan to renovate the kitchen in a couple years, and that might be an easy way to add...

    Garage subpanel size

    Hello all, I have been lurking in this forum on and off for a while now, and today I finally signed up because I have a question to ask. I am moving to a new house in the next month or so, and one of my first projects is to install a main floor laundry room, which will be placed in the mudroom...
