Reactivation of the zombie thread yet again.... :-) I'm looking for some suggestions to add an intercooler to my T30. A couple of years ago I bought this compressor from an old tire shop and did a partial restoration. I never put it into service though due to a move, etc... I'd like to get...

Amazing mess inside that one?! I've done a bunch of ratchets and never seen one that rusted/dirty inside! Nice fix. It was around $59 with the usual HF coupons. I've been happy with it so far. Snapmom: Awesome ratchet repair parts collection. The best thing is that another GJ member found...

Just following-up on this. It's been a month and the video preview is still not working on IE11. (Was hoping updates would make a difference) If anyone knows a workaround or fix, lmk! Thanks!

It's funny you say that! Check this out; nearly the exact same experience as you! Infinia: Thanks for the verification it isn't just my IE11. Anyone know if it's something I have been doing wrong, or did MS just hose it up on purpose? :-)

I just noticed this and have to ask: Does anyone else with IE11 see the embedded video as a black box that's unplayable? On Edge and Chrome it looks perfect, but totally dead on IE. Did I insert it wrong, is it a bug with GJ, or YouTube? It looks like my older vids are the same way. Richard...

It's been a while, but I finally got a chance to make another ratchet video! A friend had given me a vintage SnapOn F-71-D 3/8" ratchet that was almost completely locked up with the hopes I could get it back in shape. Spoiler alert: It's alive! As an aside note; I used the Harbor Freight...

Re: Pittsburgh Pro (Harbor Freight) 1/4" Drive Ratchet Rebuild and Cleaning Video Sorry this took so long to get back to you! This is a high-tech video studio. :-) Here's a pic, let's see how many folks can bust on me for my messy bench and what treasures they can see... 1st pic is an...

Re: Pittsburgh Pro (Harbor Freight) 1/4" Drive Ratchet Rebuild and Cleaning Video Yes, I do admit that and I asked for constructive criticism. As such, I've renamed the video to better reflect its content and to remove confusion. Please go back and watch the video again. I never purport to...

Re: Pittsburgh Pro (Harbor Freight) 1/4" Drive Ratchet Rebuild and Cleaning Video Thanks! I'm happy it helped someone! I agree that they're awesome for the money. Yes, you're actually right. I shouldn't have used the term "rebuild" as no kit is available. But; it's the same exact steps...

I work with engineering firms all the time. Most of those plan cabinets are REALLY strong. Much better quality than bargain/average toolboxes. I have one that I store laptop power supplies in. It has maybe 100 in it and doesn't have any issues at all. Mine is lockable and has a mechanism...

Yes, apologies in advance since it's a cheapo ratchet! I really kind of like it though. It has a great feel after the maintenance I did. It has held up well since I've been using it harder than usual lately. Viewers of my other few videos may have also already seen this as I had it posted in...

Of note: I only casually mention this in the video and it needs to be clarified.... The Armstrong kit will 'upgrade' this ratchet to an 88T mechanism. It also includes a small ampule of Marvel Mystery Oil. It's pretty cool to see what manufacturers really recommend. Between SnapOn's...

Here's the promised link to the new post: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6468278#post6468278

After my last video about the rebuild of the "rare" 84T Craftsman Premium ratchet I had a question about rebuild kit availability. Here's a link to the previous post: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=359127 I had been planning to make a small video on the subject, so here...

Heh, you can gladly sell me the set for $15. :-) I'll use em! To answer your question... Yes, they made them. OEM craftsman repair kit part #s: 1/4 = 28859 3/8 = 2886 1/2 = 2887 They are really hard to find though. I just finished another video that explains a couple of alternatives...
