Am I asking too much? Make offer.

have a Henrob 2000 torch http://www.cut-like-plasma.com/ This torch was fired up once and never used. I bought it 2 years ago and never used it. It has been sitting in my garage since I bought it collecting dust. Last week My house was flooded and the case was sitting on the floor and got...

This is a bad thing how? I don't understand why smokers think I want to breathe thier stink. I really don't care that anyone smokes. I think they should be able to do what they want. But it smells like dirty monkey *** to the non smokers.

Thanks guys. That Hawthorne effect is interesting stuff, Jag fan. Stuart, Thanks, I tried Google myself but didn't come up with much. All good stuff . Thanks, mIke

I work in a large automotive shop in Alabama where if its not freaking blistering hot then it is only miserably hot, and thats it. We have a pretty new shop that has all the ductwork for AC installed but the owner won't come off the money to actually buy the Units. I would love to find some...

WOW! Now I might have gotten behind that deal. You could probably get most of your money back by selling one of them. thats what I would do anyway.

I have a good friend who is a Jaguar tech. He's one of the best I've seen. He is one of the highest payed techs and turns more hours than just about anyone I have ever met. He is easily pushing $100k per year and lives in a beutiful house and drives a payed for Jaguar himself. He does all of...

Just curious. I've been a professional mechanic for almost 10 years now. I have never bought a new toolbox. I have a big mac box now with a side cabnet thats about 10 years old. I payed $2500 for it used 3 years ago. I just can not figure out how a $6,000-$10,000 tool box is going to make me...

thanks guys. Good info. Are there any particular features I need to look for when buying a pressure blaster? thanks again, Mike

A lot of people will disagree with this. If you are only going to use the gun every now and then you can do a god paint job with the $75 gun from Lowes. I bought one to spray primer on my bike and car parts. My buddy who uses a SATA and is a very good painter decided to use it to spray my bike...

I need a blaster that I can use outside the shop for large body panels like fenders and doors and such. I've never used a portable blaster so any advise would be apreciated. I have plenty of air and I'd like to stay under or around $400. Also I hear sand may not be the best media to use any...
