I made 2 separate purchases of the 100Ft kits that northern has on sale for $159. Used the $20 off $100 each time so $139 each. I bought them in-store so no shipping but I did have to pay tax.

I ran across this for RC chargers. http://www.2zo-rc.com They are reasonably priced and multiples can be hooked up in parallel or series to deliver more amperage and volts.

I could have used these the other day helping a stranded lady change her tire the other day in front of my house: 7404 Flank Bite Damaged Lug Nut Socket Set w/ Spinning Protective Sleeves HEHE...do I get any special brown nose points! :p

If you are referring to Polar not making a 60, they do make one in their industrial plus series. I think this basically is their "fully packaged" models that come with extras. in this case it only looks to be auto drain, and dual control, but being that this has a smaller tank having dual...

Hey Slodat, I really like your compressor and set-up. I am in the process of shopping for a new compressor and air delivery system. I was wondering why you decided to use the fast pipe instead of the maxline? I was thinking the maxline would be nice for the long runs because I would not...

not sure if you are looking to buy new or used, but there is a nice R-version of Slodat's on craigslist near you in Magnolia. If it weren't 3-phase I would have made the drive out there and it would be in my garage already! https://houston.craigslist.org/hvo/6049618976.html

I have the makita with the quick release I have not had any regrets with it.

Those AFCI breakers are annoying but not nearly as annoying as those damn tamper resistant outlets. My new home has both and I am half tempted to replace them all. Supposedly if you insert all the prongs into the outlet evenly they are supposed to insert easily...apparently some require a lot...

One of the shops I talked to said the problem was that the 7.5hp uses the same magnetic starter as the 5hp and the 7.5hp amp draw would just burn out the contactors in it. He said he would order me a 7.5hp on his next order if I really wanted him too, but that he strongly recommended against it...

I am shopping for what will hopefully be my last air compressor. Talking to some of the shops around town, it seems like a single phase 7.5hp motor might not be as dependable as the 5hp. Some dealers said there were problems in the past but they have been worked out...others say they "just had...

I think what he is saying is if you look at the first photo of the cheapest one, the pump's head looks to be a kellog clone. however if you look at the 7th picture, the pump has a different head. The first picture the head has rounded areas for the disc valves and a pressure release valve on...

One of the reviews on air compressors direct mentioned the pump being made by Kellog. There was a reply by a dewalt rep correcting the reviewer stating that the pump was not made by Kellog. The rep stated that the pump was made by Dewalt. Whether rep knew what they working talking...

Thanks. That seems to be working.

the cheapest one gets decent reviews: https://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/DeWalt-DXCMV5048055-Air-Compressor/p11580.html

I am interested in hearing feedback on these compressors as well. The cheapest one does not have a magnetic starter and has a lot of capacitor humps on the motor. It also looks to have a 2-pole motor (3400RPM) and appears to be the loudest and probably fastest spinning of the bunch. The middle...
