I was about to use an air drill, but forgot that the line I used had previously been used to transfer water, not air. So I hook it up and the tool stalls! Oops! The line was full of water! I replaced the line and used a different one to blow all the water out, so the tool works, but what do I...

Anyway, I decided to just return it since I have a personal policy of not trying to repair/deal with any new items I bought that I can return. I then went with the Astro PR14 because it literally was the only tool that had the range of rivet diameters I needed. Everything else either omitted the...

I see. I'll try that. I read the reviews for this tool and almost all were positive, with a few negatives, but nothing about not breaking the mandrel. In fact, I NEVER found such a complaint about this class of tool based on my limited research. I suspect that's because the force required to...

You mean im getting less than 90 psi from the compressor?

I bought a neiko air rivet gun. It tightens the rivets, but does not cut off the remaining shaft. Anyone know the cause? Im using the biggest rivets 3/16.

I guess someone fucked up. Regardless, the first column seems reasonable based on the amperage (do you think it's reasonable? if it's too much, then I need to look for a different unit or a different type of unit). According to energy star's chart, 150 sq ft (which is the sq footage of a 20 ft...

It's something to consider, but how can the unit draw 2,000 watts continuously? It is rated per spec sheet at 292-1087 watts. It cannot possibly draw 2,000+ watts (nevermind continuously) unless that spec sheet is totally worthless. If I go the way of a generator it will be a 1kW Yamaha since...

The easiest to set up is efax. There are definitely services that fax a few pages for free and there are even some services (though not many) that give you a free incoming fax number and forward the scanned image to your email account, so I'm sure you can find something reliable for a few $ a...

Looks like B01DVW6BG0 is not bad. This is for personal use during different parts of the year in New Jersey. So assuming it is moderately insulated and also painted on the sides (top will be covered by solar panels so no need to paint there), is it possible to run it with those kinds of solar...

I need to provide power to and, in the summer, cool a 20' shipping container, like the ones used to transport a car. I estimate the roof is 20' x 7' and it would have solar panels on the top. I estimate 8 panels will fit (2 x 4) on a container and there is space next to it for 8 more panels for...
