It was the built-in regulator! It was set to “I” and I turned it to “IIII.” The thing jumped out of my hand after I fixed it. I have now successfully driven out two exhaust flange studs and, using the Mayhew Shake-N-Break, freed a stuck nut without twisting off the stud. I love this thing! I’ll...

I purchased a second hand Snap-On PH3050B. I tried it at 90 psi, but it seemed to be striking really lightly. When I cranked up the pressure it got better, but it didn't have the power I expected. Any pointers?

Thanks for cranking those numbers for me. I’m trying to get at least seven feet, but we might have to live with a low opening on one side unless I find a good deal on a pair of used swinging doors. Thanks for correcting my terminology. I wish I were working with a roll-up!

I was originally planning to install carriage house doors on my garage to avoid an internal chimney chase that would obstruct a sectional door’s operation. I’m reconsidering the swinging doors now that I have found a good deal on some used wooden sectional doors. I’m not sure how to make them...
