    Line wrench or Box-end for brake bleeder fittings?

    I tend to end up using a mig-nut wrench more often than I'd like out of pure necessity.

    Air compressor clean out?

    What is the size of the square in the plug? Look at the markings on the tank, what is the shell and head thickness, and year of manufacture? Once you know all of that then you can start to make an informed decision as to how much effort you want to invest vs what it's going to take.

    WWYD: Saylor Beall air compressor quandary

    Just an update, sloshed 5 gallons of gas through it a gallon at a time and took most of the sludge and sediment out.

    Would a weak capacitor cause an electric motor not to spin a belt when tensioned? (Ingersoll Rand SS5L5)

    You could have a bad check valve or unloader valve. See if the pump discharge line is holding pressure or if its empty. If there's not pressure in the hardline from the pump to the tank, then test the capacitors with a multi-meter to see if they're in spec. If they check out then its time to...

    Compression and Leak Down Test - Schrader valve

    A compression test requires a schrader valve. A leak down test requires there not be a schrader valve. There is a release valve on a compression tester to release the contained pressure. On a leak down tester the regulator bleeds off the pressure when you dial it back down.
