    My torque wrench is bigger than yours

    Nice find! We have several 1" torque wrenches in the tool room at work but they have been collecting dust since we got hytorq's.

    Need help with a rotary screw compressor

    Forgive my ignorance, but when you say inlet valve you are talking about the piece on top of the screw housing that acts like a carburetor? Where would I find the serial number? The model is a VHP90CMH.

    School me on Martin Tools (www.martinsprocket.com)

    I have the 18 piece hydraulic service angle wrench set. I love them. I use them more than any other wrench set I own (and I own a lot of wrench sets). They are tough as nails.

    Show your pipe wrenches

    If any of you guys that have a surplus of big chain tongs feel like selling one let me know. I need a heavy duty one that can hook my service truck crane to while repacking big hydraulic cylinders.

    Need help with a rotary screw compressor

    At initial start up it will sometimes build to 180psi then unload and purge from the bottom brass fitting. Then the compressor will kick back in and build to 180 then will not unload and continuosly vent from the top brass fitting. The rest of the time it will just build to 180 and continuosly...

    Need help with a rotary screw compressor

    Screw on filter separator. I think I have more than one problem though. The compressor never unloads. It builds 180psi then just vents out what I think is a safety blow off valve right next to the oil separator . I will try to take some pictures cause I can't find any info on the compressor.

    My new to me service truck has an ingersoll rand VHP90CMH hydraulic driven rotary screw compressor. I am having an issue with really excessive oily water discharge in my air lines. The compressor has 630hrs on it and I just serviced the oil and all filters but it didn't make much of a...

    What can possibly make this tool set worth $2,700 bucks?.

    I am glad I am not the only one thinking this. If you have ever had the pleasure of running a 1" plus air impact with the PROPER sized air lines and airflow or a hydraulic torque wrench, There is only one thing on your mind " I hope this socket doesn't grenade". Big air tools are violent on...

    angle wrenches

    Cause I have Martin, Snapon, Mac, and Mit. I use my Martins every day. I only reach for my snappys when i need the different angle. I prefer the martins due to them being shorter and the handles are small but still nice and round. You can really get them in a tight spot.

    Tools from the old world

    Found these in an Cat excavator that came from overseas. Anyone care to guess the manufacturer? They feel very nice in your hands but are super thin. Also one Gedore wrench but it is not made in Germany.
