    I think ive made a cheap cordless weed wacker outperform basically everything

    Seems to be the case. Have a Radley (home hardware) 40v trimmer, it was okay. I used an ego 56v and decided to see if blah blah There was a current choke, couple ferrite rings, I removed them and there was a huge performance boost. Then I was concerned about them actually having a purpose...

    Combining compressed air/flammable liquids. Am i stupid?

    Excellent points and I appreciate the input. Concerning cross compatibility I've decided to stick with just one cleaner and that's it. As for choosing which one my options included probably the worst and alcohol imo was just a bit less bad than varsol because it doesn't leave a residue at...

    Combining compressed air/flammable liquids. Am i stupid?

    Alright I'll apologize for being rude. Irrational though? No. I was very clear on my intentions, understand all the potential risks, tested some lines against all my potential solvents and decided on methyl alcohol based on its relative safety and compatibility for my purposes. It's was a fun...

    Mid - Low range brushless failures?

    I have a rigid rattle gun/drill combo, about 5 or 6 years old maybe, no problems. I use the rattle gun a lot, got left out in the rain once. Took it to bits to try and rescue it. Replaced a bearing. Still runs fine. The drill I rarely use, recently it started( or rather stopped) working...

    What wears out on a gas forced air furnace?

    Assembly? It's the bearings that are gone, replace those

    Combining compressed air/flammable liquids. Am i stupid?

    I use too much brake clean. Idk why, it's convenient, small and expensive. I also fill spray bottles with old 2 stroke mix, alcohol, soap water. The spray bottles aren't durable enough, cheap though but inconvenient. A sureshot is very expensive, bulky but durable and convenient Now, if you...

    I have answered your question

    Combining compressed air/flammable liquids. Am i stupid?

    You summed up Everything. The sureshot doesn't have a bladder, it's fed with compressed air directly charged to the reservoir. A paint gun, as you said, relies on high volume to operate and produces a mist Both are bulky as well Static charge is a definite concern but also something that can...

    Combining compressed air/flammable liquids. Am i stupid?

    1. The cost of 5 cans of the cheapest brake clean is equal to my input cost for this 2. Because I can 3. It's fun learning science 4. Schadenfreude. Just look at all the angry faces

    Combining compressed air/flammable liquids. Am i stupid?

    Another consideration. I've tested toluene, gasoline, varsol, Methyl alcohol, and acetone on test pieces of line to select an appropriate one. Each chemical has their pros and cons but if the line gets ruined then I can't use it Hard to tell from pics but air brake line was unaffected or...

    Combining compressed air/flammable liquids. Am i stupid?

    The difference is they don't use oxygen as a propellant. Well, 30%. Breathable air. 5psi to start yeah, simple flow controller at the nozzle end and probably a white metal tip. Use compression fittings so the tips are interchangeable, ferrule stays attached, low pressure so just hand tight...

    Combination Wrench Recommendations

    I got a set of gear wrench ratcheting wrenches and they've been good. The box end is able to be tightened. I wouldn't break a bolt loose with them though, they simply aren't built like solid wrenches. As for thinner wrenches you generally won't find them for cheap because the steel isn't that...

    Combining compressed air/flammable liquids. Am i stupid?

    True, I have alot of concerns and considerations with regards to dispersion, reactivity, static discharge. What I didn't know is if this constitutes a bomb. But if Joe Common can buy one then I can make it Ideally I'd keep a charge regulated to something like 10 or 20 psi. My reason for wanting...

    I'll post it here so everyone can have a laugh. I got my answer, if the concept is marketed commercially then there can't be anything inherently dangerous outside the obvious. Thanks guys!
