looking at getting a cabinet set from new age. I will store lots of automotive tools and parts. Do you guys suppose the gauge of the performance plus line will be enough for me or should I go a size up to the pro series? I do want my investment to last me the next 50 years let me know what...

I use the makita 18v impact & drill professionally for hours a day. I run through both batteries each day & charge them when I get home. They work flawlessly. Just make sure they're powerful enough for you and you won't have a problem, promise! 3 year warranty too, I think you get 1 year on...

^ the compressors are both 240v, so I don't think I can run on opposite phases.

Hey thanks for the replies guys, so many it'd be impractical to quote them all individually, but to answer a few questions: Yes, going to be using both compressor pumps & motors to fill one new tank I don't feel good about selling my old compressor as it may blow up at any time due to rust I...

just to add more details: I hope to use the old compressor head and pump to pump up the new one. To double the air flow. I want to get rid of my old tank because it's of questionable integrity.

It's been said time and time again, the early bird gets the worm. I got a craigslist app on my phone and now more oft than naught I am the early bird ;)

Hey guys, as the title says I'm looking to run two 15A compressors on my dryer circuit. I have an old compressor with questionable tank integrity and it's almost cheaper to buy a whole new compressor than a new tank for the old one. I would do a few things like have one compressor switch on...

I looked into insurance and was having a hard time finding any! But if you find a very experienced mechanic who wants to join your buisness it shouldn't be a problem. I've worked side by side with mechanics who over almost a year had not a single call back or failure. And I've also worked...

I already have most of those tools so the most I'd personally pay for stuff that I don't need like that would be $60. But I can see someone who needs tools paying more. Like you know when you start a mecanic job and suddenly you don't have any tools at home and want to start a second set.

I have a part time job as an assembler.(full time student) I go around to a bunch of home depot's and the like and assemble merchandise. For me cordless is the only way to go. I believe a short while ago Bosch had the most powerful cordless impact but I don't know for sure. I personally have...

I use harborfreight for my road tool box & my motocross tools. I used to use them professionally but I broke a tooth or two off a ratchet here or there and decided to upgrade. I've broken craftsman ratchets too. I personally bought harbor freight tools on sale and I'm upgrading as they break...

And I missed out on a popular SAE size, redid the chart :beer: Let me know if I missed something else

Got bored and decided to make this. You know those times when a 15mm is to tight to fit and a 16mm is too loose? whatever your reason for looking here's a chart listing all the common sockets from smallest to largest. I usually only use metric, so I'm not familiar with standard and I don't...

I'm considering a shop press for some engine work. I've used a 12 ton Harbor Freight model in the past and was less than impressed. The whole thing was a little rickety and swayed slightly to one side when doing hub bearings on a honda civic. Didn't like the loose tolerances it had in the...

Sorry, but why would you sell those perfeclty good ratchets! haha. Maybe sell the ones where you've got one of the exact same drive & length but if there is one thing I always regret in life it's selling my tools.
