A RC charger doesn't charge any different from the charger you get with a cordless tool, constant current until you get the 4.2v per cell then it maintains that voltage while slowly dropping the current until fully charged. RC chargers do come with discharge functionality that allow you to...

No that part number is a single sleeve, I ordered it from Amazon and it is a single. I even checked the Rohm catalog http://www.ecatalog.rohm-products.com/keyless-drill-chuck-extra-rv-27 For the 2704 comment, Rohm made a 9/16" chuck 1325031. 9/16" isn't nearly as common as 1/2" so expect it...

I believe the single sleeve that I used is better in a locking drill's application because you can get a better grip on the wider surface of the single sleeve.

Just to be clear a car battery should not be used, this is an application for a deep cycle battery.

As long as OP isn't on a well. What battery are you using with the watchdog? Why not ditch the watchdog charging circuitry and use a battery tender to keep the battery at a float charge? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CITK8S/?tag=atomicindus08-20

The reason the compressor came with a 4.5" pulley is the 1.5 hp motor isn't powerful enough to run the compressor at any higher RPM without excessive overload or a very short duty cycle. A 6.5" pulley and a more powerful motor will allow you do increase the compressor RPM therefore increasing...

To conclude this thread I bought a 2604 and replaced the chuck with a Rohm 893352 extra rv13 chuck as most other people have done in the past.

From my research 2603 and 2604 are 1/2"-20 2703 and 2704 are 9/16"-18 I'd like to know what 2701 and 2702 drills are.

Which Fuel drills can I swap to a Rohm 1/2"-20 chuck? I felt the chucks of the ones in home depot and I wasn't impressed so I would like the option to upgrade at a later date. I don't think I need a hammer drill, I'd rather have a drill with less run out than the hammer function.

Makita is made in Japan, my Milwaukee FUEL 1/2" impact has made in China on it.

Why not use a VFD for the compressor? 3 Phase motors are more efficient and you don't have to deal with the high starting current of a high hp single phase motor. Please explain....

I've returned the Makita and ordered the Milwaukee.

So if I were given the Makita should I return it to get into the M18 line of tools? I only do automotive work and I think I would be most interested in the 2655 or the XWT02 due to the compact size. I rarely think I will need the 1100 ft/lb power working on Hondas and Toyotas but it would be...

That is a very vague statement, please elaborate.
