Tried it and was unimpressed for reasons stated above. Currently finding donor grips at garage sales ect... Sometimes on cheap tools with good grips or nice tools that have been abused like electrocuted. Removing the grips can be hard. What I do is soak is soapy water for a couple of days...

Wonderful thank you very much Balrog! I was hoping it was made for something like that. Now that I know its called a Nata will look for instructional videos. I do admit after I posted I developed an uneasy feeling that it might be a weapon of some nature.:p123 Trying to avoid looking to...

Sorry for the off topic post.:bitchslap: Picked this up today for $6 because it looked interesting. Japan and tool but definitely not auto related. Says Sazen professional quality on sticker, but no luck googling this. What is it called and what do you do with it? Thinking maybe a woodworking...

Success!!! I now have a mighty fine working compressor. Thanks for the help and education everyone. :beer:

Much appreciated Rookie2. Definitely to nervous last night to plug anything in. Bought the capacitor from same company that made the compressor. The voltage is the same but the uf I believe is like 145 and the original 140. It will be a few hours until I can check that though. All other...

There are 2 wires coming from the motor into the capacitor do they need to be wired to a specific lug on the capacitor. From what I can tell the old capacitor and the new have no markings. The lugs on the old one are just straight fins and the new one has right angles one pointing down the...

Called the company up and got the capacitor shipped for $25. Happy.

Zkling the Amgi pliers are Snapon. The Amgi is a really big owners mark. I put plasti dip on the handles just to cover up the last name which is even bigger. It might have killed any resale value, but for a user for $1 its hard to beat.

In the last month I have been trying beef up my hand tool collection. I have been searching though a number of junk shops and low end thrift shops that carry tools . This is what I have gotten so far. They all looked much worse originally this is after clean up. Some have new plasti dip...

Here are the pics without the link.

I have the rachet my father got it most likely in the early 70's or before. It is a =V= series with no model number on it. This is what the head is supposed to look like. http://www.flickr.com/photos/103147614@N04/12602516513/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/103147614@N04/12602842014/

Thanks will try. If I can clean off the capacitors lug will try to keep it. At least until I know if the unit works. If I need to buy a new capacitor where would you suggest going to get it. Napa?

Its a traders pro 4gal 830210. This is one I inherited so don't know history. When I turned in on sometimes would start and sometimes not. When it would start ran fine and charged up tank no problem. When it wouldn't it would just hum loudly. Opened up the case and one of the leads to the...

I have used old yoga mats picked up at carport sales for cheap. Smart or not smart as they rubber, dimpled and about as thick as whats pictured above, but not an open weave?

I would like to know dates on sockets as well. Inherited some from my great uncle and he had some original price tags with dates still attached to some duplicates they were from 1987. Assumed they were all 1987 but after just looking I have SK Wayne, SK Tools and SK USA. Now don't know which...
