    Devilbiss 432 Compressor Pump Head - Needs Repair

    Pulled a Devilbiss 432 pump off a tank that was rotted out/leaking. It's been installed in a friend's shop for decades, recently (past 6 months) it started making a terrible clanking/rattling sounds when it would stop/slow down after hitting 175 PSI. Sounded at first to me like internal damage...

    Generator hour meter?

    I'm assuming this is at least a 240v capable genset? For 240v a neutral isn't required as the two 120v phases are 180 degrees out from each other, so the opposing leg acts as the neutral return on each cycle. Or more basically 240v circuits don't require a neutral (this applies to home...

    Automotive battery charger - quality over quantity

    I've been a long time fan of QuickCharge battery chargers... they're no-nonsense bulletproof chargers that last for years (a lifetime). I first discovered them back when I was buying/selling industrial equipment frequently... I replaced MANY on-board chargers on forklifts/similar equipment. I...

    Do any of you use metabo

    I got a hand me down 4.5" grinder from a friend who sold me his work toolbox, it was non-functional so I called Matabo US support and they were happy to take it in for repair (or have me drop it at an authorized repair center), where they completely refurbished it for free... I was blown away...

    Astro Advent Calendar: 10 days of free Glowing 10mm Sockets

    Why doesn't Astro make low profile impact gun adapters (3/8 to 1/4 and 1/2 but really low profile and meant for impact usage). OH and a shorter hex to square adapter rated for impact would be dandy as well.

    ICON Tool Boxes at HF

    The 56" 12 drawer roller with butcher block top has a "list price" of $5000+ but the tool guy I asked said he'd sell it to any decent customer for ~$3500, his cost is $3000. There's a place near me in Commerce, MI that reconditions them and sell them "by the drawer" for about $70 (they really...

    Harbor Freight no Exclusions coupons

    Doesn't work on anything but the red/black/blue carts. Trust me I argued with them at the store about it to no avail... BUT they'll ALL colors will be $179.99 without coupon on black friday-until sunday the 1st (I can't post links, but hit up hfqpdb dot com and they have it posted). Still...

    In-ceiling speaker/stereo system

    I've got a fairly "budget" setup that covers my garage/shop as well as backyard/deck areas, and I've had quite a few buddies **** me into helping them get systems setup after partying at my place... this is one of the few topics I actually have solid experience in. First and foremost I'd steer...
