I have had my Ridge 16 gal for about 11 years and no problems so far.

If you get one of those crimpers and ferrules. You won't have to deal with your hand and things dragging across the hose clamp end that is left over from tightening the clamp. Man, I don't know how many times cut my hands on this.

When my wife and I moved into this house in 2002. There was a refrigerator that came with the house. We had ours so it was made into a beer refrigerator. Last week I notice that it wasn't cooling. So I looked around on CL and found another for $130 made in 1995. The old one was made in 1979! I...

I live in Florida and it's swampy here. I bet I get close to 1/2 cup of water out of my compressor when using it for 2 hours. You do know that it is suppose to leak a tiny bit while you're compressor is off? Then seal up while it's running. Honesty I couldn't hear if it was leaking while my...

The best add on I ever put on my air system in my shop is this automatic compressor drain kit from HF. Don't use the plastic tubing that comes with it. I used 1/4 copper tubing with the same kit. Ever time your compressor shuts off, the valve at the bottom opens and bleeds a little air and water...

Was it over serviced during replacement? You can do this easily. How many times did you use it before it started leaking?

I was cutting off a piece of steel off the clutch "Z" bar on my 67 Chevelle. Low and behold the cut off wheel comes flying apart and slices a 2 inches gash in my forearm. I went inside to tell my wife. I didn't think I needed to go to the hospital. 8 internal stitches and 10 external stitches...
