I use an actual 3/4" hole saw, not 3/4 trade size (1-1/8") that way there is no slop for the draw stud so you don't have to waste time lining it up. Just make sure you lay your holes out right :) I also have the HF punch that I picked up one day when the seal on my Greenlee tool a ****. I never...

Google "Madison hangers" and a pic will show up. I don't see why they wouldn't work on a plastic box. I would replace the box but if you don want to do that maybe You can drill and tap the stripped screw holes to 8-32 screws if theres enough meat around the hole or fill the screw holes and drill...

Anything wrong with using a 20a 240v duplex receptacle?

I prefer Astroglide but KY jelly will work in a pinch ;)

Thanks, That's exactly what im looking for, I was leaning towards the CP and almost pulled the trigger on one tonight but i thought id throw it out there to get some other opinions. Anyone else have an opinion CP, Astro or Aircat?

I'm looking for a new lightweight compact 3/8" pneumatic impact gun, not looking for battery powered. The 2 that have caught my eye so far are the CP 7731 and the aircat 1075, does anyone have any experience or input on these 2 or any similar guns? Thanks in advance

Are you trying to wire it for 120v or 240v? It sounds like you have a split phase motor, if so 1,2 & 3,4 would be your running winding and the other 2 wires (usually 1 red & 1 black) are the starting windings.

1/4" toggle bolts are rated at 60lbs in 1/2" drywall. That's 240lbs if you use 4 of them. They will hold a tv just fine.

Use a Minnie instead of a one hole strap and you won't need to make a box offset. ;) They'll keep the back of the pipe 1/2" off the stud and perfectly in line with the first knockout. http://m.platt.com/platt-electric-supply/Conduit-Cable-Clamps-W-Bolts/Erico-Caddy/CD4B/Products.aspx?pid=13228

I'd like to keep it under $500 for the new pump, that's why I was eyeballing the Eaton. Anymore than that I'm gonna have to start thinking about a new compressor. I do have my old Craftsman oil-less unit that I've had since 1994.and is still running strong. A little loud but it still runs...

Thanks for the reply. Those are a little too pricey, I looked at the Saylor 705 and it was around $1,100. I don't know if it makes sense to put an $1,100 pump on a 50 yr old tank.

Any recommendations for a replacement compressor pump? Pump is bad and parts aren't available. Tank is 80 gallons and the motor is 5hp 1725 rpm. I was looking at Eatons website at these http://www.eatoncompressor.com/catalog/item/518643/191079.htm Or...
