    Is there a special Snap on warranty/repair phone number?

    I cannot be the only one that has had a truck tool guy not warranty something because you did not buy it from HIM.

    Setting up a garage air compressor

    Show us your compressor plumbing and manifolds

    Yep it is connected to the 2x4 black frame. That way all I need to do is disconnect two rubber hoses and I can remove it from the wall. In case of Copper Thieves...... As the Compressor runs it pulls air through the copper and cools them. As the air passes through it, it cools and moisture...

    My Welding Cart - 75% Done
