    Are there auto/electirc air compressor tank drains that make sense?

    That would work well if the machine was turned on/off when used. But it never turns off

    Are there auto/electirc air compressor tank drains that make sense?

    Trying to figure out if I should add this to my tank setup at my shop. I have a 50hp screw with a big surge tank that is used very seldomly. It is always on, and just turns on with demand. I always love automating things, and wondering if anyone knows of one that works off a sensor or...

    What is it that makes a vise good?

    Been using vises my whole life, and never really got into them. Always had old beat up ones I found, used them until they broke, and that was that. I need to buy one now, and it seems like I can find old ones on marketplace all over the place for not very much $$$. Some are also very expensive...

    Need a portable impact for getting off semi/trailer lug nuts? Milwaukee isn't cutting it

    i guess that gun needs to use an app to unlock full torque, and the phone actually has to be open with the screen on for it to operate with full power. lame

    Need a portable impact for getting off semi/trailer lug nuts? Milwaukee isn't cutting it

    So which is the best m18 HO battery? 6, 8, or 12? Surprising to hear the 6.0 is better I can't imagine they have different amp outputs and the only difference is capacity. I would think the 12.0 would perform best since it has more mass to flow current without heating up

    Need a portable impact for getting off semi/trailer lug nuts? Milwaukee isn't cutting it

    I have the 5.0 and just tried the cp1.5 since it was brand new as a last ditch effort Used it with a 1" air hose I'll order an HO battery to try. Why is the 6.0 better than the 8.0 & 12.0?

    How would you plastic weld this cracked thin plastic headlight lens/housing?

    That's why I'm trying to get advice on how to repair the original lol. Someone here told me to just buy a used one for $50 and replace it so I had to get into the difficulty on why that was not a preferable option.

    How would you plastic weld this cracked thin plastic headlight lens/housing?

    I own one of the biggest exotic salvage yards in the US. Trust me when I say it's just easier to fix this one than deal with replacing it. Modern Mercedes vehicles use Xentry which is the diagnostic tool required to to most work. It is extremely expensive to purchase, and only makes financial...

    How would you plastic weld this cracked thin plastic headlight lens/housing?

    You have to have to swap modules, have the headlight programmed, and hope the used one isn't faulty (which a lot of times they are). Been there done that, went used, was no good, and had to buy another headlight and get the modules programmed a 2nd time. That one is also from china
