I have owned the Jet model for at least ten years. I use it at my business nearly daily. It has been perfect for my use. i would say it’s very well built after ten years of use and zero issues.

I’m in. Thanks

At my shop I have an Ingersoll Rand true 5HP, 208 3 phase, magnetic starter, 80 gallon tank. A true industrial model. I think it is rated at about 15 CFM at 175PSI. It just barely keeps up with a blast cabinet. I wish I would have bought a 7.5HP 80 gallon model.

Have you considered using automotive paint?. I have bought paint from www.tcpglobal.com. I found them when a I was looking for House of Kolor brand auto paint. The sell many other brands too. You might also take a look at www.summitracing.com. I think you have their own line of lower...

This might be a dumb comment, but the wiring into and out of the compressors electrical box looks to be either 10 or maybe 8 AWG. Then I see three short bare copper jumpers between the circuit breaker and the contractor….which look much smaller like maybe 12 AWG? Could this be causing a...

2008 Honda Odysseys have a known issue where the condenser get punctured by a rock or other items kicked up on the road. In 2009 they changed the design to incorporate screening in the front lower grill openings to protect the condenser from damage. I bet if you look carefully, you will find...

The T56 are available as close or wide ratio. I have a wide ratio one in my 1962 Nova. The wide ratio version has an overdrive 5th gear ( I think about 0.7:1) and a 0.5:1 6th gear. The close ratio has something like a 0.62:1 6th gear. I have 4.56 rear end gears in my nova. In sixth gear...

Lead acid batteries self discharge at a rate of about 4% per week at normal temperatures. It’s a go idea to trickle charge them once a month or put them on a good quality battery maintainer style charger.

I use lots of Heyco brand strain reliefs at my electronics company. Heyco also make a tool just for use with the cable strain reliefs. The tool is not cheap, but it makes installing the strain reliefs super fast and easy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BPY6KI/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I buy mine form McMaster Carr. They ship Starett brand. They last about 10x as long as the HF bands.

Calrad is still in business in Hollywood CA. They still import cheap, Chinese made electronics. If that meter needs some hard to get battery, I would not waist your time. I think the quality of the meter will just be a bit better than Harbor Freight. Harbor Freight gives their basic meters...

18v x 9 amps = 72 watt hours, not 72 amp hours.

Most of the lithium batteries used on hand tools have about a 75 watt/hours rating. They are no where near high enough capacity to run an inverter of any size for very long. If you were to say run a 100 watt invertor from a 75 watt battery you would get about 30 minutes run time. A 300 watt...

Thank you guys for all of the replies. I was able to have a local electrician who is a friend of buddy of mine stop by and take a look. I ended up trenching the who thing yesterday. I took my son and myself about 10 hours to dig it all by hand. I am going with aboveground/underground rated...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I should give some more specific information: I have a pool pump that is located about 25 feet down one side of my house from the electrical panel. When the pool was built 28 years go by the former home owner, they ran the power through hard metal (threaded...
