I bought the same jetter kit. Have used it once and it worked just as it should. FWIW, my washer is 3.8 gpm @ 3400 psi, so I can't say how the jetters would work if a person had a significantly lower powered washer like some of the electric ones.

The QRHT is a high inlet temp model. Max inlet temp is 180*F. So, it can do the necessary cooling and water condensation to dry 25 cfm of air that's at 180*F and saturated. Every 20* increase roughly doubles the moisture carrying ability of air, so the HT type dryers have to have far greater...

11.75 oz seems low. Those units are basically a package a/c unit, and package 410a units typically use about 2 lb/ton or a bit more.

OEM likely won't sell to you if you found them. Typical language in supplier contracts with large manufacturers.

Could you post a pic of what you describe here? It sounds more like an unloader that allows the pump to come up to speed before it starts to pump rather than a normal discharge check valve which would be piped into the line between the pump discharge and the tank.

Almost as useful as those chainsaw blades made for angle grinders.

Hobbyair makes a turbine type system that comes with either a half or full face mask or an air supplied hood. With the hood and 60 ft of hose, it's around $600. I use one with the hood for painting and find it much less restrictive than a face mask. The constant flow of air thru the hood also...

Are you planning to open a tire and alignment shop or a general repair garage? The only way mounting, balancing, and alignment equipment is a worthwhile investment is for a tire and alignment shop. Making a profit in tires is all about volume, and if you don't plan to develop a large sales...

I think you can safely go with an 18,000 btu unit. This unit from Pioneer https://www.pioneerminisplit.com/products/wyt-serie-18-000-btu-ductless-dc-inverter-mini-split-air-conditioner-heat-pump-230-vac will go as low as 5400 btu. Your light load alone will be about 3300 btu, and the idling...

You can't get any idea of what you need by comparing to a single hose portable. They cool the air, but the condenser air is pulled from the space so half or more of your cooled air is blown out across the condenser and that air is made up to the space by sucking in unconditioned air around any...

The sizes on the kits are the nominal sizes of the pipe the punches will punch holes for.

Stay away from automotive paints for these types of projects. All contain isocyanates once activated, so you have no choice but to use a respirator designed for iso removal as well as other protective equipment. The activator is expensive and has a very limited shelf life once opened. Any of...

Most likely semi tubular rivets for appearance purposes assuming you can get to both sides of the panel. To set this type of rivet on something like the drawer handles, you'd need a squeeze type tool that likely costs more than you've spent on all the boxes unless you have the capability to...

R22 comes in 30# cylinders. Current price is around $750, or $30 per pound. R438A is a drop in replacement (don't mix them) at around $300 to $350 for a 25# drum.

I've got a Consew 225 walking foot machine. Tying knots in thread made me feel like the most fumble fingered fool on earth. My wife is a nurse, and she brought home some hemostats and other similar things they were throwing away at her work with the thought that I might use something from the...
