    Vibration Free Link Belt: 43771 PASS I just replaced mine today, the old one lasted at least 2 years, maybe more. It's great that it's adjustable as I have adjusted the number of links before to tighten the belt a little when it started stretching, and of course the fact that you don't have...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Sorry, haven't been on here for a while so I rarely see when I get quoted. It depends on your compressor and manifold gauges I think, but not much longer than 5 minutes if that. Takes about the same time as the 2.5cfm vacuum pump I'm using now. For the price, not a bad tool by any means, but...

    96677 Air Vacuum Pump with R134A and R12 Connectors - SEMI-PASS This pump worked great through 5 A/C recharges, but I dropped it on it's air hose fitting and it broke inside at the plastic threads. So, if you need one for one or two uses, CHEAP and good to use. Otherwise, get the 2.5CFM...

    FAIL: 69452 and 61741 1/2 in. Heavy Duty Variable Speed Reversible Drill I bought one, the first time I used it, it popped and smoked nasty smoke from the side of the drill that smelled like the kind in an electrical fire. Still worked though! But I didn't much care for that, so I exchanged...

    I have been using mine frequently for the last two years with great reliability. Sure the Mighty Vac is better but being plastic it eventually broke to fatigue. The HF one (http://www.harborfreight.com/brake-bleeder-and-vacuum-pump-kit-69328.html) is cheap, the gauge is okay (the glass on it...

    FAIL: Just picked up the #35711 2pc Welding Goggles: http://www.harborfreight.com/2-piece-welding-goggles-set-35711.html They are kind of bulky and cheap, they don't fit my face well. They do their job for darkening but are far from comfortable, and they leave room around your cheek bones for...

    Problems wiring my Kobalt compressor

    Yep, 2 hots and a ground, it's 10 gauge. That's exactly how I have it too, the ground attached to the switch box body and the two hots to the L1 and L2. Will do, what's a good accurate meter to purchase?

    Problems wiring my Kobalt compressor

    I recently purchased an 80 gallon Kobalt 4.5HP compressor. It was running at the seller's home, he had it wired in his garage directly to the breaker box, using 10 gauge wire. It ran for a good couple of minutes. I took it to my shop, which has 220 single phase wiring. I wired it up using a...
