So I am one of thoughs guys that has a million things going on, family and other activities and a bunch of projects's going on at the same time. I am wondering what everyone is doing to keep there parts and projects organized so they are not loosing things. I was using cups for my spray gun...

No.. remove them with an impact. Hand torque them back down. But I know how much my **** hurts when I snap chrome ones torquing them back down... so I prefer impact to take the extra abuse. Use to work at an engine machine shop so had to have sockets for everything.. including triple...

for some reason people love these stainless boxes and in my area used stainless boxes are going for $600-800. I figure I either use it or sell it and use the money towards a good roller cabinet 72" long. Garden tractor will either have hydraulics added and a bucket or be fixed and sold. then...

certain things require a 12 pt, I know of a lot of ARP studs that use 12pt nuts on the studs, and you need impact sockets most of the time to take them apart and torque them back down. I have 3/8" and 1/2" 12pt impact sockets as well as 6pt sockets. guess it depends on how much you work on...

well really tools and tool storage... I take care of a property for a friend and after he had to evict a tennant recently for non-payment for 5 months and get a court order to get the place back when we finally got in there clean things out and asses the damage I scored some things that were...

now that it was mentioned about the air intake source I got looking at things more closely. Pipe was fine and started corroding faster after I painted my truck in the garage with 2k Urethane and clear. My exhaust for the fumes happens to be right where the intake for the compressor is. my parts...

insulate the whole thing. and may sound stupid but it wont cost much more look into roxul insulation.. makes a hug difference on the noise coming out of the garage when completed. I used roxul and my neighbour used fibreglass. I can hear his impact drill if he uses it at night. in mine the...

one chunk was from the big box store. all the other pipe 150' of it came from bartle and gibson here in edmonton they are a plumbing and gas wholesale that sell to most of the gas fitters. nothing is touching the black pipe anywhere for the air system except for the strap holding it up to the...

Figured I would take a few pics of it. so here they are. I also just noticed the weld on the inside of the pipe running the length and suspect this is where it is leaking. need to take a closer look at one that I took out that was leaking in the morning and see where the leak was.

I was thinking pipe made in China as well as some of the threads broke after it was assembled... thought maybe a bad cut as well.. but a piece of pipe that I got from home depot that has been up for 2 years and has a stamp made in the USA also developed the same leak. So I am thinking...

So I plumbed a nice loop around the garage about 8 months ago, cut and threaded all of the black pipe and put the whole system together. I noticed over the last month some of the longer runs in the loop have developed pin (well larger then pin) probably 1/8" hole's in the pipe. I have a cheap...

Hofmann used to make a lot of larger industrial equipment, balancers, tire machines, hoists, alignment machines, machining machines. Not sure how much of it they still make since they were purchased by Snap-On. And Snap-On customer service is no help for anything older then 10 years now. I...

I am looking at picking up a hoist that is almost identical made by hoffman. the model I am looking at is a GE-7000 but I am not having any luck finding a manual. the one I am looking at is a screw type and has a 3ph motor. I am debating between a VFD or replace the motor with a 1ph. but if...

compress is set to cut off at 150 PSI, and cut back in at 135 psi. No Regulator on the compressor. so I have way to much pressure for air ratchets and other air tools, so will need to regulate it somewhere... so entire loop or at each drop to give better control at that drops. I had a...

whats the proposed distance for the driveway between the house and the shop? make sure you leave enough room to be able to back a trailer into the shop if needed. Also on the door make sure you are wide enough to fit a trailer in. a 8 foot wide door would not allow a standard car trailer to...
