I am thinking of installing an airhose reel on the exterior of my house but I have some concerns about the survivability of the hose and the reel in the rain and sun. Having one outside would give me quite a bit of extra reach and would definitly come in handy but I don't want to ruin my...

"The moisture in the main line should flow to a trap at the end of the line." Torque1st, what do you mean by a "trap"? I know that is basic stuff but I don't understand why I wouldn't design my system to have the moisture/water come out of the ball valve at the end of my drop. Where do I...

Red Wing and Danner have quite a few boots, and in the case of Red Wing even shoes, that are still made in the U.S.

I was in this same situation several years ago. I looked at the Home Depot versions etc... and at the Deere dealer. The guy at the Deere dealer told me that there was no difference between their cheap Deere versions and the Deere versions sold at Home Depot; according to him, the only...

Thanks to the both of you for your replies! akdiesel: Wow! Another person from Alaska, you're the first I've seen here.

I have read many threads on compressor lines and decided to go with metal pipe. My question is, what type? I see there are "black" "steel" "iron" "schedule 40 steel" described at Home Depot/Lowes and I am not sure what to use. They seem to have a similar PSI rating of about 200 but can have...

I just bought a Dynabrade 6" 3/16" orbital sander. It uses the adhesive back sanding discs and i had some questions. Can i use any adhesive back discs for a pneumatic tool? It seems as if some discs are sold for electric operated sanders but I cannot see what difference it would make, am I...

Hi, I used the search function but didn't find the answer I was looking for so I am hoping that I can get some recommendations here. I am getting ready to paint my '67 Plymouth. I have very little painting experience and have only painted two vehicles before so I am not a pro and don't plan...

That 2007 Supercrew of yours probably weighs as much or more than my old one-ton. The newer trucks are much heavier than the older ones, even when comparing a one-ton to a new half-ton. The truck sits high enough I don't really need to get it 4 feet in the air but to get it and the wifes...

I wish that I could find a used two-post lift but they just don't come up for sale here, I live in Alaska and not a lot of shops to begin with and even fewer that go copletely out of business and sell their lifts. I would like to get the two-post but I would permanently have to plant it...

Ponchopower, I am thinking of the Maxjax because my ceiling is only 10.5 feet; I don't want to punch holes in the ceiling to make a two-post fit in, I don't want permanent posts in the floor because the garage is only 26 feet wide and things are already a tight fit, I don't have plans to move...

I am considering purchasing a maxjax but wonder if it could handle my old Dodge crew cab 4x4 with a 6.5 foot bed. The truck weighs about 5500 pounds, below the 6K max the lift advertises it can lift but I wonder if that is pushing my luck. Any thoughts out there with you guys that own one of...
