Now you need a few tattoos, one of those big heavy Navy coffee cups along with a few junior petty officers and seamen to do your bidding, and you're all set!

My brother-in-law had two engine failures in his Dodge pickup, before I learned his oil change routine was to flush the engine with gasoline before adding the fresh oil, to "make sure everything was cleaned out". I no longer discuss any mechanical topics with him--he is beyond help.

I got one of those carpet doormats with a heavy rubber backing and cut it into four pieces for my jack stands. I keep a sheet of masonite behind my tool box to put under the jack. Seven years now and my floor still looks like new.

Done. Ball valve in place. Thanks.

My air compressor tank drain valve makes a small hiss, even when it is tightened. I haven't tipped it over yet to take a look, but is this valve replaceable? Is it worth the effort? Is it good practice to drain the tank after each use? I use it only to air up tires, or occasionally to drive...

Thanks, 55Savoy. Nice wrenches. Yours look like the new pattern. I'm specifically looking for the older pattern that has a bulge in the center section, sort of "fat in the middle" (like me).

I'm looking for a set of Craftsman Professional full polish long pattern metric combination wrenches, the ones with the fatter center section, stamped "PROFESSIONAL" and "U.S.A" without owner engraving.
