    Am I buying enough compressor?

    You were right, mine isn't a 9-10, I thought it was my bad. I have a 5HP 60 gallon T30 2 stage, that flows 14 CFM @ 90 PSI with a Baldor continuous duty motor. In my personal opinion this is a good sized compressor for the home shop, probably not a production shop. I realize not everyone's shop...

    Am I buying enough compressor?

    Personally, I would never pay that kind of money for a compressor for home use. A 5HP 9-10CFM at 90PSI 2 stage is more than adequate for home use, even blasting. I have a **** Blast cabinet for small parts and I never have to stop with my IR-T30 compressor. If you aren't on a time crunch, shop...

    A friendly reminder to disconnect the battery before welding on a vehicle

    I just did some MIG welding on my wifes 2016 Durango R/T. Had to weld nuts onto broken exhaust manifold studs on the drivers side head. I made sure the ground clamp was as close to the head as possible and was tight both physically and electrically. No problems after the repair, car started...

    Recommendations to install a ceiling fan @ 20'?

    I had a nice 65" Hunter from HD in my shop with 13' ceiling and I could barely feel it unless I was directly under it. Moved it to my back porch after I rebuilt it. Looking to go bigger but, space is then a concern both in between the stepped trusses and the lift.

    Air Compressor wiring help

    Dumb question but, why can't you put tandems in there. Are they not available? As far as getting shocked, trip the main breaker and work that way. If you can't trip a main, trip the breakers you are going to remove before you remove any wires. And don't touch the bus bar when you replace the...

    Some deck questions...

    Those are standard composite decking screws that you can buy at just about any home improvement store. You may have to order them to get the right color though. When those screws come out they blow out the top of the composite decking, because the upper threads are cut in a reverse pattern to...

    Why do you buy tools?

    I'm an addict, plain and simple. I make my living with my tools, and even do side work for mad money. I rarely drink, don't smoke, don't hang out with buddies at the bar, or go out chasing tail, I just love having the right tool for the job at hand, and then some. My wife and kids think I can...

I have the majority of my hand tools, for automotive type work in my Snap On 52" roll away. I keep all my sockets sets, ratchets, and...

    2 post lift or finished floor

    I wasn't really looking to buy mine at the time when it showed up on FB Marketplace, but it was the model I wanted and the price was right. Needed a little TLC (i.e. cleaning) but otherwise like new. Good luck! Keith
