    Come Along advice

    I can recommend the Lug-All brand if you are looking at the higher end of cable hoists. We used and abused them in industrial maintenance and they were also used by our construction contractor. They are robustly built and you can buy repair parts for them. I've purchased them from McMaster...

    ? about pot style sand blasters

    I also have both. My pressure (pot style) blaster is one that I made myself over 20 years ago out of a forklift propane cylinder. It has a deadman valve as Farmall400 suggests. It was my first sandblaster and I still use it, in fact I will be using it tomorrow. I have used it to clean up...

    Quincy compressor, what do I have?

    Sure, multiply the motor speed (1730 rpm) by the motor pulley dia (3") and divide by the flywheel diameter (12"). I get 432.5 rpm. Which I think may be too slow as well. The Quincy QT-5 series low end is something like 800-900rpm if I recall correctly - but it is splash lubricated. I think...

    If you want a US made come-a-long, check out the Lug-All brand http://www.lug-all.com/index.php. Their site lists them as 100% made in the US from 95% US components.

    Who makes the best 120v plug ends?

    That is for a hazardous location aka 'explosion proof' drop light. Those requirements always cost big $$$ compared to non-XP, especially for vapor tight. Not sure about 'the best' but there are several brands that have good industrial plugs and connectors. They will run you about $10 for the...
