    Small box culvert construction

    Hank, have you looked in to the black double walled corrugated plastic pipe? It comes in sized from 4” thru about 18” or more and it is rated for vehicles. I have a situation similar to what you are describing and I am planning to use the corrugated pipe. NuFlo 18 in. x 20 ft. Corrugated HDPE...

    Compressor Regulator

    Mike65, I purchased the blue industrial model ($99.99), but like I wrote I haven’t gotten it up and working just yet. I’m hoping to install it later today and get it adjusted up. Good luck with yours. Do let us know how everything works out for you.

    Compressor Regulator

    I went by Harbor Freight this afternoon and bought the Merlin regulator. Hopefully I’ll get it installed tomorrow and we’ll see how it performs. I do appreciate everyone’s input. Thanks,

    Compressor Regulator

    Yeah, a friend suggested the Harbor Freight Merlin model 58547 water filter regulator. I was just curious what others might recommend in a similar price range. Thanks,

    Compressor Regulator

    I have a new 80 gallon air compressor and I am looking for recommendations for a water-filter/regulator. It’s just for home use out in my workshop and will be mostly used for airing up tires, occasional impact wrench use, and typical around-the-home type stuff. I may eventually acquire a cheap...

    The Hunt for Black Friday

    GeoBruin, Thanks for the reply. I was concerned that I would get overwhelmed with suggestions and recommendations but luckily that didn’t happen. I’ll definitely look into this one at Tractor Supply.

    The Hunt for Black Friday

    I am looking for a recommendation from the experts here regarding the best Black Friday sale on a decent quality 60 gallon air compressor local to me in eastern North Carolina. That would be Lowes, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, or Harbor Freight. It would be for my little workshop out back and...

    Anybody still using a stereo rack system in the shop or home?

    PWC; how much are you asking for the player? Does it still work correctly?

    Garden sprayer recommendations

    Mike1903; I bought this one last year and so far it has worked as advertised. I made a bracket so I could mount it on the back of my riding mower and it has worked good for spot spraying weeds. Ironton ATV Spot Sprayer — 5-Gallon Capacity from Northern Tool

    Chain Hoist

    I very much appreciate everyone’s contributions on this topic. Based on the input here and taking my intended use along with price into consideration I am now looking at the Wyeth. I haven’t ordered yet so still interested in additional suggestions and experiences with the different types of...

    Chain Hoist

    This is some very interesting information on the topic and several suggestions for devices I have never heard of, thanks for the input. I really have no idea whether I need a 3 ton, 4 ton, or 6 ton. I just want one that will do the type jobs I listed before without difficulty. I have a little...

    Chain Hoist

    I am looking for recommendations for a come-along hoist to use around the property here. I am looking for something maybe around 6-ton or so with a decent length of travel maybe 15 feet or more. The one I’ll link to seems to be a decent quality piece at an amount I am willing to pay but figured...

    Propane Generator users, a moment please?

    Josey, I believe I would let them repair it, if they can, and then I'd run it regularly for some weeks after that to see if it acts up again. Then depending on how it performed during the regular test runs I would either have restored confidence in it or either contact Champion again if things...

    Propane Generator users, a moment please?

    Josey, I have a Champion dual fuel 9375/7500 generator I bought new October 2018 that I just ran for about 3 hours on Tuesday after the storm came through Eastern North Carolina. It started right up and ran the 3 hours on a 20 lbs BBQ type propane tank. This week was the longest I’ve ever run it...
