    How to remove rust inside of metal air lines.

    I fully agree if your setting up airlines for the longhaul, copper is the only way to go. My rusted to hell lines were off a 60gal single stage Compressor thats seen light weekend use for the last 8 years. I also think it's very important now to drain the water back into the tank for the first...

    How to remove rust inside of metal air lines.

    Seriously? My. coworker went to the ER yesterday for metal shards in his eye! He had glasses on too. I've been twice in the last year from sledge hammer related eye intrusions, of which one time the doc had to stick a NEEDLE into my to remove the metal. Ugh, I'm so cautious of my eyes, I wear...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    In my experience, a drill driver typically has less chuck runout than a hammer drill, so if Your using it on metal a lot it's been my experience non hammering drill drivers typically have a truer shank. Doesn't much matter on wood IMO. Anyone else experience the same?

    Grinder for squaring tube steel or angle iron?

    I'm with you. A speed square and 7 or 8 amp 4.5" angle grinder that way you don't have to lift a lot of heavy steel to the tool rather you take the tool to the steel. Also, a trick that I use is when fitting up, or setting your joints; tack'em withe the welder really hot then quickly before...
