I do have 1/2" tools for PEX from my whole home remodel I did on my previous home in which l relocated both the washer lines in the laundry room as well as the kitchen sink. Though I'm not so thrilled in having to work hard to keep the flexible tubing straight along long runs (which tends to...

Heh, I ran 1/2" PVC at my previous home for more than 30 years, and only once did I have do repairs to two joints that started leaking!

I figure that if I'm going to spend the money and if 3/4" is already the consensus recommended size from various air flow charts for what I have now, there's no point cheaping out now and going 1/2" because when someday I replace my current compressor, I don't want my air distribution to be the...

Fantastic layout! I priced out 3/4" copper and here in my neck of the woods, it's $2.41/foot, where as Fastpipe is $2.06/foot. Of course, the fittings for Fastpipe are WAY more expensive than copper fittings. But the ease of both installation AND modification (loosen, remove, modify, tighten...

I've got a 15-year old work-horse Snap-On 5HP 60Gal (13.5SCFM@140PSI) air compressor for which I'm building a whole new garage workshop airline distribution system. I want to run 3/4" pipe in a loop around my 3-car garage but the OEM bushing on the tank is cut for 1/2" NPT. Would it really...

Re: China V18 Tool to M18 Battery Adapters The only ones I can find in the US are off Amazon for $42, so it's almost double the price on average over the Chinese stuff. Also not a big fan of the typical fine wavy-lined 3D finishes, but that's just cosmetic and purely based on personal...

China V18 Tool to M18 Battery Adapters Has anyone used one of the M18 to V18 Tool battery adapters that are available from numerous Chinese sources on eBay? Although I've switched most of my tools to M18, I still like the compactness of my Hatchet Sawzall, which has not been reintroduced in...
