What’s SAE? That sounds like a complicated version of metric with one less socket per set. Lol. I only pull out the SAE’s when absolutely necessary. If a metric fits something well enough, I roll with it. Especially since tons of “American Made (Using Global Components)” stuff exists that’s...

Good to know! I may just change a 2 decade old habit now. Gonna look up the cost on that.

I second this. I’m pretty **** with my tools and after every “dirty” use (more than just like tightening a bolt real quick), I use one blue shop towel folded into a square and sprayed heavily with WD-40 (which cleans and lubes) to wipe them down, and another folded the same to just wipe off any...

I never said “not available”, I said no OUTLETS/RECEPTACLES. No plugs. Nothing I can just grab a plug, push it in, and use.

Oh, I wouldn’t doubt it does, especially for the AC unit. I’m sure it has one hell of a power draw since it costs me nearly $600/month to run in the summer time.

I think the only thing that might be 220 is the AC unit, and it’s for sure hardwired to the panel and way up in the attic above the house. I’ll try to get out and take a pic.

There’s been like 20 people on various forums INSISTING that I have more than 120 and I just have to laugh it off cause of my weird-a$$ house. I own 11.5ac in San Diego and I’m trying to get a house build together and that one is gonna have a dedicated panel just for the “shop” to run my welders...

You tell me man. It makes no damn sense at all. House was built in 2005, had a mix of 12a and 15a 125v outlets, and absolutely NO 220v-240v outlets anywhere. The garage door runs on 120, washer and dryer, refrigerator, and dishwasher, all 120. Water heater and stove are gas (now outlawed in CA...

I appreciate the advice on the pump and will do some research on the minimum RPM. As per the second part… you sure about that? CRAPifornia house built in 2005. Every single appliance runs on 120v. Including washer and dryer which can run at the same time without tripping the breaker. Trust and...

Totally forgot… they also came with a spare motor. I tested all 3 compressors to make sure they all charged to max psi, but they also had a spare motor they included from some other tool that died previously. They kept the motor because it was the only thing salvageable I guess. They tossed it...

I got 3 of them for $100/ea, so even if I have to retro-fit it with smaller motor and pump, still ahead money-wise. I enjoy stupid little OfferUp projects from time to time. Hahahaha. I also turned a 30gal into a gas operated one to use in the field cause a brand new one was well over $1,000…...

They are currently at my shop and I’m not, but tomorrow I will try to snap and upload photos. I know they always fudge numbers on their marketing stickers. Like “7hp!!!” End up being 3hp “running”. Lmao

Ahhhh, okay. Makes sense. I just thought running it at a slower speed wouldn’t produce the same psi. I’m not worried about how long it takes to charge (as long as the motor doesn’t overheat. Lol), I could just really use more air at home. Worst case scenario, the price I paid was worth the 60gal...

12a outlet on a 15a circuit. I’ve removed and replaced actual 12a outlets. They are stamped 12a/125v on the back/side of the outlet itself. I’m not saying that’s the power on the circuit, that is what is stamped on most of my outlets which as they’ve died, I’ve replaced with 15a ones.

Here’s a pic of the specs, which factory claim is only 3.7hp and they do make 3hp 120v motors (or so they claim… I’ve read that true 3hp is impossible from 120v, but again, I’m no electrician). Either way, I got all 3 of them for $300, so the price couldn’t be beat. I’ll hang on to 2 of them for...
