    Sears Craftsman Bench Grinder - any worth?

    $20 for an 1/2 hp Cman block grinder. That's approaching suckage status, many would say you do ****😂 I sell those from $50 to $80 depending on condition and buy every one I can. Bought an absolutely filthy one last week at an auction for $5. Needs wheels but runs fine Enjoy

    Let’s talk pressure washers in 2025

    Let’s talk pressure washers in 2025

    Primary function of the unloader is to set the spike pressure. That is the pressure used to send the unloader into bypass. You can certainly wind the unloader out to change working pressure, and you can also over adjust the spike pressure and put unnecessary strain on the entire system...
