    looking to reduce the amount of dust in our shop (warehouse) would a dust collector be helpful?

    Hello, with the specs, the size of the machine is 24x72x36 As far as the dust, I would say the sources are from the following: cutting cardboard boxes open (all our products are usually double boxed from the factory and have to be opened and re boxed up with a brand new smaller uline box) We...

    compressor is leaking air from the PSI adjustment knob valve

    I have a compressor and it keeps kicking on so I knew it had a leak. As I got closer to the compressor to check for the leak I could hear a hissing sound coming from the PSI adjustment knob. I unscrewed the knob (which should have reduced the outgoing psi to zero) but when I removed the rubber...

    need a portable battery jumper- how many amps do I need?

    I was looking at some of the NOCO brand battery jumper boxes and I see they have several models with varying levels of amp hours. The main reason for purchasing is for general use at work (incase someones car dies- just to have on hand since we have about 10 employees) I also have a jetski which...

    refurbished circular saw- acceptable degree of variance

    See the attached photos to see how I am measuring it, I didnt test it yet, I just wanted to confirm if it was "within spec". It had some dust / debris on it, so my concern was they sent a defective unit. So I measured it, and noticed a very slight difference. So figured I would check with the...

    looking for a heavy duty light weight drill for electronics disassembly

    Hi I have a bunch of drones that have to be disassembled (we disassemble them and part them out) and I have tried many different drills, and a basic 4 volt screwdriver seems to be the perfect weight. However when removing screws, sometimes it takes up to 5 seconds to remove the screw because the...

    solar powered charger for an ipad / tablet

    Hi I was looking to buy a solar powered charger that I would be using to charge my ipad. I keep mine in my car and I would not mind just leaving the solar panel on my dash and just running a wire and connecting it to the ipad when the battery is half way down. I was looking on ebay and I found...
