I use wurth products. I am lucky enough to know a wurth Rep and he gives me samples to try out all the time. I have not found a product of thiers that does not perform great. The prices can be a little pricey but they always out perform the other guys.

Ever have a flash back on oxy acetelene rig? Loud bang high pressure fire. The smell was my shorts! Hate that smell!

Valve 101, Valves will be marked WOG, which means "water, oil or gas" with the rating. Normally brass valves are rated to 200 psi unless otherwise stamped on the valve. That would be WOG200. I would think that the valves you have can easily handle a compressed air system in a Garage.

WD-40 was invented for NASA to drive out moisture on missle parts. Doesnt any one watch "How Its Made" ? Cold tools with warm air means condensation. Either heat the tools or use the WD-40.

What are your local building codes? Here in Mass 16"oc is required. Granted there is snow loading and wind to account for.

I like the Porta Cable model. As far as accessories try Adams http://www.adamspolishes.com/c-14-machine-polishing.aspx If you poke around the Adams site there is a link for a discounted Porta Cable. Around $100.00 if memory serves me.

I have found just the threat of calling coporate usually works.

Last week I checked my local Sears and they had the exact cabinets for full price. Today they say none are left in stock. Are they being discontinued?

According to the Sears web site they will price match with an original printed flyer and they have the right to call the local store that produced the flyer.

There are none to be had in New England that I can find. Did Lowes have a printed flyer for this clearence? If so Sears will match the price. Anyone have a printed flyer? Thanks, JB

Thanks BDBLK2K3, I got 2! It created a little stir in the store. The zone manager told the floor manager to honor the 1060 store price. She (floor manager) was not happy and argued with him. I had the print out at the $23.99 price. The zone manager said it says Lowes give it to him.

I work in a power plant maintenance department. The plants blood is its air supply and we have low to high pressure systems. Heres the deal on iron vs copper. Both are used. Copper is fine up to about 150 psi if silver soldered. It will hold more pressure but Code will only allow it up to 150...

I have a friend that bought a 4 post. We got a ramp tow truck. cost $60.00 warehouse to home. When we got it home the truck tilted its bed and the lift slid right off. I'm gutting and redoing my garage now and this is how I'll pick mune up.

Dawg, What is your cieling height? Thanks JB
