    recommend an induction heater (for bolts) please

    Go for 1800w. Mine is 15 amp and didn't trip the breaker. Just don't load anything on that breaker while using the heater. You'll only use it for a couple of minutes here and there. It's not like it's "on" for an hour and the breaker keeps tripping. Get 1800w you won't regret it

    I dont have any experience but my buddy had no luck with 1100w. I would not go below 1500w. It shouldn't trip the breaker. What you really want is a tool that works, and you don't have to waste your time and money and be frustrated.

    Well amazon delivered with only 1 day late after all. This thing heated that bolt red and it came out no problem!

    Nope just a regular one. I was supposed to get the tool today, but Amazon now says it's delayed by 7 days :( may just grab a 3/4 breaker bar in the end

    Haha yes the engine is N62B48 I was told by a couple of mechanics who work on engines that heat will do it. Not because of corrosion. I thought heating a super tight bolt will help loosen it. Maybe not? The seal will be replaced either way

    I hope so. I tried heating with a torch for like half an hour, and nothing came of it. The bolt never got red.

    I have the engine on the stand. I can secure it on the ground and use 3/4 or 1" breaker bar. 1/2 bar will break. But I want to to test this induction heater:)

    This is the most powerful tool I found. Will test it shortly. I bought it because I'm going to heat the crankshaft bolt. I couldn't remove that bolt with dewalt most powerful 1/2 impact, DCF961 If this tool works, then it will work for any other bolt on the car. The problem is, these tools are...

    Sandblasting Cabinet with Pressurized Tank

    Thanks for the advice, I'll stick with suction I guess! :)

    Sandblasting Cabinet with Pressurized Tank

    I got 30 cfm and bought this dust collector. I understand what you're saying. I'm just wondering if I should regret I didn't buy vevor unit, or if I can rig something up, like you said to have the media recirculate. Or if I'm fine with suction system:)

    Sandblasting Cabinet with Pressurized Tank

    Has anyone use this? I just installed the blue cabinet (powerfist), but saw there's on orange version (vevor). Is this pressure system significantly bigger than the suction system? Not sure if I can add the pressure pot to make it the same or if it's worth it?

    Looking to purchase affordable rotary (quiet) air compressor. What do you think of this model?

    Yes they were able to help, got it all connected. Do I need to adjust any settings? I think the air coming out has a npt 3/4 to G¾ BSPP adapter. I unscrewed the adapter and ordered a 3/4 NPT shut off valve and a 3/4 to 1/2 NPT adapter. So maybe will get a chance to sandblast in a few days...

    The compressor showed up on Christmas! :) Wiring it up was simple, I just purchased this plug I was trying to figure out how to operate it, and a buddy showed up and tried to help, but in the process dropped of the cover for the air dryer. Would anyone with an air dryer be able to post a...
