    Snap On Balancer EWB305ARA Bal Fal

    Did you wind up buying this? I have one of these that I picked up for scrap cost last year that is doing the same thing. I've been spinning it with a wheel on and it just goes to bal fal.

    Nohr-S Polyurea! by Legacy Industrial.

    Thanks! Placed my order this morning. One more question. Do I have to do it all at once, or can I apply this over multiple days? I'm getting the pigmented kit so I was considering doing the primer one night, then the base coat with flakes the next night, and the clear the following night.

    Nohr-S Polyurea! by Legacy Industrial.

    Looking at using this for my garage. I've got a stair case with a landing and I won't be able to properly prep the surface, nor do I really need the concrete under there sealed. Can I use painter's tape to create a sharp line where I want the application to stop, or will the product eat/bleed...

    Thanks. That's where I found the tool in the first place.

    Smoothing light broom finish

    When I had the floor for my pole barn poured 3 months ago they put a light broom finish on it. I've since come to realize that the nature of the work I'll be doing (automotive repair and restoration) needs a smooth surface for multiple reasons. My research on here has mainly pointed to sanding...

    How to correctly fix settling around poles after floor is poured

    Sorry, busy day yesterday and didn't have time to post an update. Here are some answers/responses to some things posted: I do not have final on the building and won't get it until the township is happy. Holes were dug with an Auger and the poles were set on 8"-10" thick concrete pucks. No...

    How to correctly fix settling around poles after floor is poured

    Thanks for all the input. I’ll be making some calls tomorrow and trying to get the pole building company to actually call the building inspector.

    How to correctly fix settling around poles after floor is poured

    The Pole Building company is licensed and yes had a permit. It’s a big company but I’m with holding their name until they’ve been given a fair chance to make this right. My township building inspector wants them to compact and flow in concrete, but it doesn’t seem like they have even contacted...

    How to correctly fix settling around poles after floor is poured

    I recent had a 24' x 26' pole garage built. As soon as construction was done I had a separate concrete contractor who back-filled and pack with stone and then pour a 6" thick floor. Now, after a series of heavy rain storms here in the NE, the soil has sunk significantly around all the poles. The...

    Snap-On WB250 Wheel Balancer repair?

    Not having a schematic makes it difficult to do proper trouble shooting. It's powered by a 9.8 VAC wall transformer so the power supplies shouldn't be very complicated. With the way it powers up and all the displays function it makes me think there might be two supplies, one for the display and...

    Snap-On WB250 Wheel Balancer repair?

    Well, I pulled off the sensor assembly and other than a little dirt everything looked good. The timing wheel was in great shape and all the wiring to the sensors and brake solenoid were in good shape with no nicks or pinching. I reassembled it and tried it. Started off always showing 000. After...

    Snap-On WB250 Wheel Balancer repair?

    Yeah, I saw that thread. Nothing on the control board looks out of shape. measured across a few of the electrolytic caps to make sure none of them were completely shot and all seemed ok, no signs of venting of bloating. Going to take a look at the measurement head assembly sometime this week.

    Snap-On WB250 Wheel Balancer repair?

    I bought a used Snap-On WB250 wheel balancer a few months ago and it worked flawlessly for the first month or so. Then it started to misbehave. No matter how out of balance a wheel you put on it, it comes up as perfectly balanced. Initially it would begin working after being left plugged in and...

    Harbor Freight 10" sliding compound miter saw.

    I have an older one and I got it second hand. I didn't get any hold down clamps which frustrates me but isn't a poor reflection on the tool itself. The only complaint about mine is that I have to push really hard on it to get it to cut all the way through at the back bottom corner of the piece...

    Tire Equipment: Atlas & Twin Busch

    Search long enough and hard enough and you will find it! I'm driving 1:45 tonight to look at a Snap-On WB250 that is in very good condition. Listed for $500, may offer $450 but if it looks as good in person as in the pictures I'll be willing to pay the 500. The WB250 is nice small hand spin...
