I have the 6.3 gal and don't let the oil-free fool you, it's quieter than most oil-lubed compressors. It won't run an impact but for brad nailers, filling tires, etc it's perfect. Super quiet for sure.

Prevost or Milton safety couplers are all I'll use anymore.

Thanks!

So is a TCBP16 comparable in weight to a HBBD16 or 24? Snap-on only lists one weight so I'm not sure.

I haven't used them but I've seen lots of recommendations for Boggs Tool for cleaning and sharpening old files. Costs a buck or two per file depending on the length. http://www.boggstool.com/page5.html

$35 plus shipping or $35 total?

Fluke is always a safe bet if he has the budget for it. If not, take a look at the Amprobe AM-270. I bought this one after a lot of research on eevblog.com. You need to be aware of safety ratings when dealing with AC voltage. A $20 meter may be fine for 12V but you could be in for a surprise...

FYI, they have free shipping until the end of the year. I bought a pair to check them out.

FYI, the water drain (#3) will leak air until a few psi builds up. This is normal and how it drains moisture.

I have the same compressor. Needed something quiet for air nailers, filling tires, etc and I love it. It really is quiet compared to anything else I've heard and is perfect since my kids' bedrooms are above the garage. UPS busted up the box pretty bad so the company sent me a replacement unit...

If not (or for anyone else who wants to make them) the key to bonding HDPE is to flame treat the surfaces. HDPE is a low surface energy material like Teflon so almost nothing sticks to it.

Thanks. Got a pair for $5.19 in Leander, TX. They still have 5-6 left.

Got my magnetizer today. Can't beat free!

What's a cheaper option for just one box? I just want one of the 24 packs and I can't find anywhere else close in price.
