Been poking around on Craigslist for a hot water pressure washer later. I would rather have a 220v unit, but I see the 110v ones are a lot cheaper. The specs worry me a little bit, about 1000psi/2.2gph. Is that enough for mostly just washing cars? They do get pretty caked in mud from the...

I was at an antique shop today and saw this, and happened to remember this thread. I don't know if it's a deal or not, or what you want or anything, but I thought i would pass it along. It's in Iowa also, about 2 hours from you. Pm me if you wish, if you want the name of the shop.

No idea whats going on in this thread with the computer stuff, but hey Im in Iowa too! Western Iowa tho. Dig the XJs too. Its a bit of a drive for you, but I highly recommend heading down to Tuttle Creek in KS. I promise you'll have a blast.

We have the Matco you posted at work, its pretty nice. Well, it was till we got ahold of it. Haha. Chain on our frame machine broke and sent a big steel piece into it...still works tho...just a little more dented.

The '68 Cadillac sits inside, but it is under the knife and about to get tore down. Then, either the Raptor or the Cadillac CTS sits inside, depending on whats getting driven. Ill pull them both in if theres going to be a storm. HHR lives outside and the 69 Nova (roller/shell, the race car...

Ive cut quite a few in half with mine :lol:

I dont always have access to air, so I almost always use electric. Have to bust them loose by hand most of the time (we have ****** Dewalt 18v stuff at work) but they are still great. I just bought a Nitrocat 1200k last night actually. Used in good shape for 50 bucks, couldnt pass that up...

The one I use is a Crapsman and its actually held up pretty well. And it gets BEAT.

Ah, I almost forgot about the cheater bar pipe! Make sure its long enough so at least 3 people can stand on it or hang on it.

I use a lot of hammers, big (like, 5lbs big) and small, and alignment tools are your friend. I also use a lot of pry bars, I use a 5ft pry bar all the time.

I generally buy tools as I need them, because I usually figure if I need it once, Ill need it again.

That looks like about the color it is, I dont recall seeing that logo on it tho. Hopefully today I can get it home. Also, holy fazollis thats a big pump! I love it.

Sounds like Ill be fine laying it on its side then. Good. Its a bigass pump and motor, Im not positive on the specs yet (hoping to go get it tomorrow) but they have to be decent. It was bought by the guy I bought it from a few years ago and hes never used it, it has the air filter and cover...

I would put that money into a Techwrench instead.

So, Im new to actually owning a bigger air compressor. I use them all the time at work...but never thought much about it. Bought this compressor today from my boss, I cant find a whole lot of info on it looking at it, but I havent brought it home yet to clean it all up and look it over. I did...
