Are those kegs aluminum or steel?

I have a number of Ryobi tools. I am an avid diy woodworker, welder, carpenter and have used them a lot. My only complaint is the chuck on the drills. I have issues with the chuck loosening and the bit falling out. Had the same issues with the Craftsman C-19 tools that I changed from.

I have had a Manitowoc and a Scottsman over the years. Both commercial units (200-300 lbs, and air cooled. These were older(probably 15+ years), used units without digital controls (mostly relays, switches, etc.), and I have been able to keep them running myself. Fortunately they both had...

I used flexible rubber air supply hose to run across the shop from the compressor to my hose reel with shutoffs at both ends as all of the hose reels that I have had would have a small air leak. Put a regulator after the shutoff and drip leg/drain before hose reel. I ran the supply hose...

I keep my opened tubes in the refrigerator. Seems to last a lot longer without drying out.

Is it really that bad to have one when on a septic system? I find a lot of differing opinions. Any real world experiences?

I looked at the amazon listing. It indicates 3300+ reviews with a 4.5 star rating. Seems pretty good to me.

I would say that I am an occasional user. I modify/customize golf carts. I use this to test add-ons to make sure they work and troubleshoot problem issues. I can also determine the amperage draw to choose the correct wire size/fusing. I have had not had any issues with it

I have this one and have been very pleased with it. There was a lifetime warranty when I purchased it about 2 years ago, might still have it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DJ1FDXV/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I used a hp rated contactor for power to the compressor. 120V coil wired to my shop lights. Lights on - compressor on, lights off-compressor off. Don't have to worry about remembering to turn it off/on. It has been working fine for several years. I just do not turn the lights off while the...

I have a similar cable locator that you reference to find underground pet fencing and it works very well. Practice on known circuits as there is a little learning curve.

I agree with this solution as I too have my compressor wired this way. No problem. Lights on - compressor on, Lights off-compressor off.

I wired my compressor power cord to a 240V, 40 amp relay with 120V Coil controlled by my shop lights. Lights on, compressor on. Lights off, compressor off. Works great for me and no worries of compressor running due to leaking down or major plumbing failure.

I repurposed a discarded electric central heat unit/air handler found on road side. It had been replaced as the A/C coils had failed but heat elements were still good. Put it in my shop, built a multi directional plenum for it and it works great. Cost about 25$ for additional materials. I am...

I too have my compressor on a relay wired to my shop lights. Works great and no worries about failure from unexpected leaks.
