I have two of the true power ones, use for acetone and mineral spirits. Used to clean my paint guns. I love them. You can't put a ton of fluid in them but its great for shooting into the guns to clean. They are also easy to handle because of their size vs the sure shots which are bulky. But all...

No, its just from me setting up these lights for events and then quickly circle wrapping the cords. The bushing that holds them in just never held them in. Thanks @wssix66 I see what the previous poster mentioned by a knot now. Its an underwriters knot. I'm glad we have so much experience on...

Thanks fellas, some great ideas. I can open them up and tie the jacket off. Good thinking zip or hog tie. Btw , yes these are the original power wires.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on what adhesive would work best to keep a cord from slipping out. I want something flexible. Tried simple glue gun as a temp fix, I knew it was'nt going to hold up. I think this is called a strain relief but not sure. I already took this apart and...

@mm08822 the dual belts looks good. It had just about 1/2 of play which is the max as per manual. So today I was like, might as well tighten it up since I am waiting on a crimp connector. I'll say this to whoever wants to get a northStar compressor, dont! Horribly engineered. Anyways, I...

Sorry I should have put more details. The 2 SOOW cords I got (as per manual): 1. Electric motor to the mag switch box = 794464 - 8-3 SOOW Cord 2. Pressure switch to mag switch box = 794465 - 12-3 SOOW Cord So yup @wyliesdiesels you got that right

I should have mentioned that the awg was what the manual stated (and the cord when I took it out). So insulation and thickness on the wires and the outside jacket isn't a problem? I feel like I got screwed, the electrical supply was way cheaper per foot too over Lowes. But I wanted to get it...

Hi all, so my compressor has been running well for at least 6 weekends where I was working. Last week, it shut off again before full cycle. So I took off the mag cover and tightened snugged the heat pack screw and then reset and ran (no sparks) and it filled to correct psi. . That got me...

Yes they look alike, ironically I have a set of these in the garage. The more I think about it, I wonder if I have seen something at harbor freight that was similar. I'll have to check the jack areas.

😅 It's for a Halloween setup. Same concept as the foam cannon. That wesson oil comment has me laughing though.

lol. Forgot I am using it to build a large prop. It will be holding an air mover and throwing chilled dense fog over a large area.

Hey all, Yes this is a mount for a cannon. Foam Daddy has one and so does another company (link below). The foam daddy one seems pieced together with screws while the other one is welded (at least the handle). These use to be made of steel a few years back. $300 bucks to me is excessive. It's...

Hi all, I am trying to figure out if anyone has ever seen these pole mounts industrially anywhere. Source is way over priced for what is essentially a u bracket and adjustable handle. Assuming this is used industrially in some other application. Just can't seem to find them online anywhere. The...

Hi guys, sorry for lack of updates been away for work. So I retested the green wire coming from the motor to the mag starter box again. This time I picked a few different spots and turned off autorange. I also tested the other two and they had amp but the ground was tiny fraction so it was 40+00...

Never knew stray current would come from the negative of the electrical motor. I decided to check it after reading into how electric motors can start failing and grounding out .. Ok, let me see if I am understanding correctly. First try to move the clamp to another spot on the green wire while...
