    unloading/moving a 60 gal compressor

    That's the path I'm on---drop it onto trailer, then walk it off the trailer with friend....simple, cheap, low risk. The compressor hasn't shipped yet, so it's probably another week before I report back with pics

    unloading/moving a 60 gal compressor

    you guys have given me a ton of things to ponder. very helpful. A couple comments. It is 475 lbs shipped. I'll have a 30 yr old man to help with the task, whichever way we go. We had a 26 ft box truck make it up the driveway to the top no issue when we moved in, but whenever I've had big...

    unloading/moving a 60 gal compressor

    yes, would think so but i'm not sure they go as high as a truck bed. Guess I could rent a small trailer, those tend to have a bed low to ground

    unloading/moving a 60 gal compressor

    yes, it comes on a typical 40 x 48 wood pallet yeah taking off the motor and pump probably the way to go. A hassle but might not have a choice. I should be able to muscle a handtruck with just a tank up the driveway, not easy but should be doable

    unloading/moving a 60 gal compressor

    i'm taking delivery of a 60 gallon upright compressor in a week or so, Curtis CT5. But there's a chance the boxtruck driver won't be willing to drop it at the top of my driveway, even with a little $ persuasion.

    Honda Crank Bolt - Using Old High (Mid by Today Standards) Torque Impact, Will it be Enough?

    Any of these heavy socket designs are seriously one of the better innovations of the last several years. Cheap too. Total no brainer.

    Does the Obsessed Garage Youtube guy have OCD?

    Poser is right. His opinions re tools mean zero because he buys and sells them as jewelry, rather than to actually use.

    Tools of Japan

    I remember coming across all kinds of tiny factories in what were very residential areas of Nagoya, back in the early 1980s. Fascinating. Thinking back, they were probably associated with the auto industry in some way

    Funnel storage? *SOLVED*

    Yeah it's organized and efficient but seems way overkill for what is a really simple problem with a cheap solution....wipe it out and hang it somewhere, call it good. But this is GJ where we dig this stuff it seems
