Thank you!! Yeah, brain fart when using the tester, I should've used the splitter that came with it. I'll do that next time i run it. Good idea on the drain. Will definitely do that. Thanks for all the info :thumbup:

Ok great. I'll let her run when I get home and keep fingers crossed everything works as it should. Thanks to everyone for the helpful info :thumbup:

Yes, got it hooked up through the pressure switch and I got it to 100psi and shut it off. Couple of questions.. 1. At what psi should it shut off? I don't need a grenade going off while i'm standing in the garage ***edit***found it's cut in at 105, cut off at 135. I'll try it tomorrow...

Here is the amp reading.. i believe multiply by 10 from reading for actual amperage?

I got the air compressor running! I bypassed the switch and it kicked right over and started building pressure. Here is a quick video I made. The whistling you may hear is the plug i had in the air outlet wasn't completely tight, i have since tightened it and no whistling.

Thanks for all the info! When I got home, dove in and found that the black motor wire was barely attached to the pressure switch. Wonder if this caused the overload on the white wire? I'm about to run a cord from my fuse box.. i'm using my 2 pole 20amp AC circuit since it's not being used...

Happy New Year All..!! I picked this Campbell Hausfeld 60 gal stationary air compressor from a job site a while back ago for free. They used it to run a die cutter table and it stopped working. Where should I start for diagnosing? Looking at the switch box, the white wire looks burned and...

Yeah, I like them and the chrome is very nice on them!

Thanks for the info. One of the reasons I went with SK was that Ideal is the parent company. I've dealt with them in my construction business and had good luck with their products. I hope they take SK and make it a respectable brand for decades to come. I'll give them all a good polish...

Agreed. They are a tool. And the finish on the outside is very good. It was a hard decision. Shallow broached = easier starting of nuts/bolts Deep broached = In some instances, you might not have the space to have the socket ride up with the nut due to tight space. We'll see if this...

I needed a full set of 1/2" drive deep metric socket set. I ended up going with the SK 1947 set at Zoro. It was $229 - with coupon and tax, it was $207. http://www.zoro.com/sk-professional-tools-socket-set-12-in-dr-chrome-21-pc-1947/i/G4433213/ I'll attach some pics. 1. They are heavier...

Does Craftsman USA even exist anymore??? My local Sears Hardware is all Chinatastic now :-/

You are correct.. not worried too much about the warranty. Most of my sockets and wrenches go back to when I was a teenager. I've maybe broken only 2-3 sockets in that time.. more have been "lost" or "borrowed forever" :-(

Thank you all for the replies! Few things... 1. I already have a 1/2" drive deep impact set in SAE and Metric 2. I like the bigger set, because when you don't have the size is when you will need it. Ex., I've needed 32 which I bought in standard depth. I was just working on a buddies car...

EDIT: Not looking for an impact set. I already have a 1/2" drive deep impact set. HF is not a consideration. Thanks I want to purchase a full 1/2" drive deep metric socket set. I am a DIY'er and not a pro. I would like a big set. I've found a couple of what seems like decent deals...
