I have some decent sized fallen trees on my trail that I want to remove, some of them around probably around a foot thick give or take...I usually carry a corona handsaw but these are just too much for me to deal with by hand lol. I have an m12 hackzall, but I feel like itll take forever to...

Its not always viable for me to get someone to help me out in the garage lately, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on stuff that can kinda help me lift things into place (ie exhaust, a differential, etc) but things that are short enough to fit under a MaxJax lift. Ive seen older posts...

Im going through old threads, most of the jacks are discontinued now. I have a maxjax lift, Im planning on using the harbor freight hydraulic cart and low lift transmission jack for any transmission work... But I wanted something for smaller work...like there are a lot of times where I need to...

What brand rail is that bottom one? Is that two stacked side by side?

Debating getting a propane heater for my garage this year, Ive had my eye on the ridgid because I heard it was really quiet and I liked the brushless motor. This season they seemed to have jumped up $30 though and Im hearing mixed reviews on them lasting due to thermocoupler failures...but Im...

Lighter, smaller head and I usually just use them to get something just tight enough and then hit it with a traditional ratchet.

I have the fuel and non fuel ratchet, almost always use the non fuel version. I use the stubby when I need extra power, I thought Id use the fuel more for some reason but rarely do.

Thats the ups and downs of me asking, I was kind of hoping someone would point out a limitation I mightve missed with my specific needs but so far it just seems like people recommend larger for expandability (which I get to a point) but Im kind of at a point where I've gone overkill sometimes...

Im not saying it will cause an issue, Im saying IF somehow the breaker tripped that would be the worse case scenario.

This site is the reason I have 4 tool boxes filled with all doubles of tools lol. I built two cars with a 250 piece craftsman set and some other misc tools, now I have doubles and triples of things and too many specialty tools Ill probably never use.

Just thinking worse case scenario, that seems to be the only way a small compressor would give me an issue in this situation where as a 30 gallon would have plenty of reserve.

My buddy had a pancake for a long time, my only concern right now is the the valve train work because I have two cars I want to swap springs on soon and I’m not pulling the motor or heads, rather not do the tdc method for each cylinder or the rope trick. Air just seems easier. So realistically...

This is the description of the first one: Do the work without the noise with the Husky 4.5 Gal. Portable Electric Air Compressor. This quiet compressor operates at less than 65 dB, but delivers 3.0 SCFM at 90 PSI. Ideal for household inflation jobs such as bike tires, car tires, air mattresses...

The only concern I have was for valve train work, debating between https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-4-5-Gal-Portable-Electric-Powered-Silent-Air-Compressor-3320445/305026725 and this...

I know this comes up a lot but... I have a small garage where I work on only my cars, mainly parts swapping and maintenance. My friends are all pushing for me to get some 60 gallon air compressor with the do it once and do it right mentality but realistically for filling tires and the...
