Good morning everyone I picked up a box of files and punches for 20$ from a estate sale a few months ago. I finally decided to put them away we'll I came across this punch and I'm not sure what it's used for and it does look like it was used a lot. Have you used one or know what it is for...

I have a military Gen unit that I bought cheep on eBay locally. Under 500. It's rated at 5k But being military they are underrated and could handle about 8k. My unit needs a slight mod to be able to power 220 and 110 and the same time. It does not have a neutral at 220. I have a few...

I have a magnetic starter like others in here also. But I wanted to be able to control the air compressor from either room in my garage. I installed 2 3 way switches, from the pressure switch. Now that I have that installed I would like to set up a light informing me that I have have the...

I had thought about using one of those also from harbor freight. That was the idea I had before I found this vac. The blower I was using is a squirrel cage type and would have gotten ruined if I used it for a vacuum. My other idea was to setup a venturi with my blower but I decided I would...

Hello everyone. I built a large 4*8 ft. sandblaster over the winter. I had the idea of using a blower to clear out the air in the sandblaster instead of a Vacuum well I found out that it was too much pressure and sand was leaking everywhere. I did not want to go with the vacuum because of...

My rule of thumb is I will buy the cheap tool first. If it breaks or is **** I will get something nice. I have lots of cheaper tools that I have had a long time. Reviews on items very important. Also if it’s something over 100 dollars I spend a lot of time to consider what I am buying. I...

I should have mentioned that my compressor is 26 cfm at 100psi i have a 60 gallon tank on the compressor and I also have a 100 gallon storage tank connected. With the storage I figured a higher cfm gun would work ok for a while. I blast with glass bead because i like the finish, and I blast a...

Re: Tips & Tricks You guys might think I'm crazy and I thought my boss was crazy also for doing until I tried it. I use Wd40 to change tires and inter tubes on my motorcycles. The wd40 does not hurt the tire, and the tire is only slippery for a few minutes after it dries the tire is back...

Always with me.

Thanks for all the info this last week. This morning I Installed the heat tape left it on all day. I occasionally also flipped the breaker for the well pump also. Tonight after I got home I turned the pump on got busy and distracted with dinner, forgot the pump was on. As I was about to...

The well is a deep well around 40ft I think. I don't have a welder I could use. I will try the heat tape, and go from there.

Thanks for the help I will get some heat tape tomorrow. Not really what I wanted to use my gift card on but s-happens. I will try also to cover the crawl space vent tomorrow when I get off work. I will also see if I can borrow a space heater see if that helps. I don't think the pump is bad...
