Mine does the same. I still love it though. Thought i read where over oiling will cause this. I over oiled mine by mistake when I first got it. Hopefully, someone knowledgeable will check in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the update. I bought some Sunex stuff a few months back. Good to know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 60t and it has served me well for years. It’s very strong. My only complaint is with an extension or universal, anything that adds play, it can be hard to engage the next tooth when you have very limited room. I’d drop into the store and talk with the repair folks. See what they have...

Placed several orders with these folks last Fall. Emails were answered quickly. One order had an out of stock item. They shipped what was in stock, and didn’t charge my card for what was out of stock until it shipped. Sale prices were great. I will use them again. https://www.acmetools.com...

On the advice of a few folks on this forum, i ordered some Sunex 6pt deep impacts from https://www.acmetools.com. I am very pleased with them and Acme tools has some great prices. Best of luck to you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, because the impact doesn’t run continuously for the 5 minutes it would take to drain the tank far enough for the motor to start. The continuous cfm is with the compressor running, and keeping the pressure above 90 without draining the tank. I wasn’t clear about cfm when I bought it, but I...

I bought the Kobalt 30gal a few months ago and I love it. It is quiet, has no problems on 120v/15A, and runs all of my tools. I should have pulled the trigger years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hockey pucks. We have a used sporting goods store in town where they are $1 apiece. Even new, they are not expensive. Maybe you could drill a hole to accept the bolts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just bought the latest version of the Kobalt 30 gallon and I love it. It’s a 2 stage with 175psi max. It is quiet and runs well on 120v, 15 amp. It has no problems running my Aircat 1/2 impact plus a few other cheapo tools. Also, they put a ball valve on the drain. It’s still on the bottom, but...

I just picked up the 30 gallon, 2 stage Kobalt compressor. It is rated at 5.3 CFM @ 90psi. I was thinking about getting an Aircat 1055-th but the specs on it call for 6 CFM. If I ran one with my compressor, would the power be down at the tool, or would the pump just cycle more often? Thanks...

Thank you Jake. I found the e-clip in my parts bin. Now I just have to find the spring and washer. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to help me. :)

Thank you guys!

Can someone tell me what is missing from this Craftsman vice? When you loosen the handle, the jaws do not move. I feel like there should be something on the screw, maybe held in place with a snap ring. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, John
