Why, yes! It is! I had actually already started looking into some means of quieting it down and making filters easier to deal with. Leave it to you to drop in with the exact solution I need!

Not the most photogenic setup, but it's functional! I'm in the middle of unloading a bunch of stuff (the whole pallet rack under the blue tarp, and most of what's in front of it), and doing a major project on my wife's Jeep (behind me from that perspective), so the barn is a bit of a Chernobyl...

My understanding is that "reactionless" is marketing **** for impacting. I could be wrong. I guess I gravitated toward the minis because I'm thinking in terms of modern engine bays. Not a ton of space, and fairly low torque specs. All three are rated at 50 lb.ft. Ratchet means I can manually...

What is the darling of the GJ hive mind mid-23? The Astro 1128, Aircat 810 (I think), and SP 1765 seem to float to the top reading through threads. How do they compare to one another?

This is so much solid gold! I mentioned earlier that I learned in this thread that the actual consumption of an individual tool was not what was on the box. Seeing it demonstrated so clearly like that really drives the point home! Instantaneous consumption is NOT an advertised spec just about...

@GeoBruin, a special request if you're still taking them and have one lying around: Torque Test Channel tested a variety of swivels a while back. The worst performer was the block style, which is more or less to be expected. That was with industrial plugs through a big impact, and through the...

My hose reel arrived yesterday, but it was clearly a botched return... The base had clearly been mounted and over torqued with some manner of destructive locking washer. The big problem was that it appears someone tried to over-extend the hose at high speed, bent the fittings between the reel...

I updated post #49 with the summarized findings to match. What's the ID of the Milton-V fittings? Stroke of genius drilling out the industrial fitting! Stedlin Full Flow to Industrial to 0.25 bored industrial all in the same coupler eliminates the restrictions from the coupler from the...

Summarizing videos from post 32: Merlin/Industrial @ 90psi static, 10cfm ===============> ~1psi Merlin/Industrial @ 90psi, 10cfm ====================> ~1psi Merlin/Industrial @ 90psi, 20cfm ====================> ~9psi Prevost/Milton-V @ 90psi, 10cfm ====================> ~1psi Prevost/Milton-V...

Thinking about it over dinner, I didn't realize you had a Stedlin high flow ******. Stedlin/Stedlin high flow vs. Stedlin/industrial would really pull all the variables out and get it right down to JUST the orifice size, and at what flow rate it comes into play. What's the difference in ID...

Edit: refreshed again. Links appeared. Stedlin + industrial is the missing link. Stedlin only sells the Quietplug anymore, and at $10/ea, since it works with industrial profile, that seems like the way it would be used in my shop at least, as well as what a lot of people on GJ seem to be doing...

Test 4 link is no good.

This would be but a facet of my ignorance. My air hammer (IR 119MAX) says it uses 23.8cfm under load ("Air Consumption @ Load (cfm)"). Is this that same weighted average spec, or is Husky playing even weirder number games than expected ("Air consumption at recommended operating pressure (CFM)")?

I don't imagine a home gamer is going to be running more than a single tool at a time. I noticed that most, if not all, of the air tools at Home Depot want in the neighborhood of (if not exactly) 4 cfm. Seems like it must be some sort of benchmark they're trying to hit. Maybe that's a bad...

I'm actually more interested in LOWER flow rates. Home gamer style. If we can get a handful of datapoints, we can fit a curve and know quite a bit. Simulpost. I went back and watched the other video. That is pretty much EXACTLY the sort of relationship I was expecting. At high flow rates, the...
