That's a great idea! That was another concern I forgot to mention and didn't know how to resolve it. I can drill out the drywall and press in something like these, measured to contact the block and rest flush or just behind the drywall surface: EDIT: And a large washer between the drywall and...

These are the SnapToggles I'm referring to: Compared to butterfly toggles you mention, these are much more robust. In either case I will need to find the hollows, and I always go with the stronger option even if it's overkill. They also bypass the need to find the specific length of butterfly...

Both are definite possibilities. It's not easy to hold a heavy hammer drill perfectly steady when drilling overhead! I don't know that I'm able to drill a reliable hole without a drill press, certainly not in a crumbly material like block. And if I hit mortar I may not have known it since I...

I have a block (don't know if it's cinder or concrete) wall behind drywall in a closet. I want to attach vertical shelving standards to it. In my garage, the blocks are exposed so I used SnapToggle bolts in the hollow sections. These are extremely secure and I'm confident about whatever weight...

I don't think Masterforce is a viable option for me. It's currently $1,889.99. Plus I don't live near a Menards and shipping quote to FL is $767.96. That brings the total to $2,657.95 (excluding the "rebate" which apparently is Menards store credit?). I'd rather buy a pair of US General 72s for...

Looking for an upgrade for a bottom-barrel Craftsman, interested in a ~72 box. I heard about this Homak after randomly stumbling across it mentioned in a YouTube video while looking for reviews of the 72" US General from Harbor Freight (which I had pretty much already settled on until learning...

That would not show threads or posts that have been deleted.

Oh well, thanks anyway.

Years ago, when I first joined this forum, I put together a thread showing a whole bunch of socket storage and organization solutions including my thoughts on each of their pros and cons. And I asked for others to contribute their thoughts on each and share their own methods. I thought it would...

What sizes do you guys consider to be "precision"? I'm convinced that's where the difference is in our opinion on Wiha... I don't own any of the larger sized Wiha drivers but I imagine they are alright. The sizes that I would call precision (under 2mm) leave a lot to be desired. Even aside from...

I think you have that backwards. The majority of the PicoFinish handle sizes are actually larger. They are longer, but do have a section that's thinner than the regular style (for more speed) and also a section that's much thicker (for more torque). In the largest tip sizes, the regular finish...

I took some pictures of the one I mentioned above, just in case anybody's interested... This one is my most-used. It's about 5 years old and is used for maybe 50 extremely high-torque (relative to their size of 1.0 to 1.6mm thread) screws every day. Out of all the drivers in this size I've ever...

I see a lot of Wiha recommendations here, and I have bought them in the past but wasn't thrilled with them... Specifically the PicoFinish 260 P 1.5x40mm. Almost immediately the tip twisted with very light torque on the screw. I don't know what material the tips are made from, but they don't seem...

Alright, so I'm just going to replace the regulator, hoping I can find one that flows in the right direction without having to mount it upside down or use a trail of pipes and elbows! But there's one more thing I want to confirm... I sort of mentioned it in passing above but I've seen it...

I would only have reducers between the tank and the T and the T to the pressure switch. So I'd be able to use a larger regulator. Obviously it would still be "choked" by the 1/4" pipe coming out of the tank, but wouldn't it still flow better *after* that? The reason I thought about this to...
