So, I have an air compressor (the tank is 8 gallons @ 120 PSI). A: If I bought a moisture trap, would this air be suitably dry for dusting electronics? B: Does anybody make some sort of small, hand-held pressure vessel that can be charged with a normal garage air compressor, and then used as a...

I'm sorry, but it's eminently clear that actually saying that "tip" is sarcasm (especially after someone already mentioned the breaker bar route), which warrants sarcasm in response. So, by the way, is your remark "I hate to ask where this project goes once the wheels are actually off."...

This whole time, and I never knew how to take my wheels off! :headscrat :p

?

+1 Can't stress that enough.

Yeah, that's the impression I'm getting. I'm sure I'll end up buying a nicer model, especially if I'll get more power for less air – I don't exactly have a lot of air to begin with.

You said it, sir. :thumbup: I like that divide and conquer bit. I'm gonna steal that.

Well, I meant to ask pipsters if I should put a T before the regulator, which he suggested I remove. Bit of a mistype there. As for buying "real" tools, I need to remove 80 ft-lb lug nuts, not axle nuts (I remove axle nuts so infrequently I have no problem going breaker bar + cheater). I have...

Well, thanks at least for confirming my speculation that these $20 guns are capable of working, at least some of the time. I think one (or both) of two things may be going on: 1. These units have a high lemon rate, but a good one works (relatively) well. I was unlucky and got a lemon. 2...

What subsidy and protectionism hath wrought. The study of government is the study of such ironies on a societal scale.

You realize, of course, that they did this because it's almost certainly a good business decision. Your personal preferences and prejudices do not define the market as a whole, and Sears is only concerned with the market as a whole, not with one single customer. I'm quite confident that, as...

+∞ I swear I have Chinese tools which I am surprised by the quality (and value) of every time I use them. That said, most tools which are still made in the USA are very high-quality.

Someone who's concerned with socialism should know enough about markets to understand that markets, not the president, dictate whether America manufactures less and in what sectors. Actually, I take that slightly back. America likely wouldn't make any cars at all (or different companies would...

lol, if not, you should start spending your money elsewhere. :p
