I have a Task Force box which [I]'m very happy with that I use for my tool overflow. The weight of the box is app. 150#'s and the load it will carry probably won't come close to that. I was looking at casters that had a 125# limit ea. and the price was right. That would give me a 500# limit...

I've been researching converting my T12 fixtures in my shop to T8's. I've searched quite a bit and just need some validation on some of my assumptions. Converting shouldn't be difficult (replace ballast, wire accordingly & replace bulbs). I have a case of T8 lamps that will work with either...

I didn't want to hijack the recent air tool oil thread, so here's my questions. For those who have used a synthetic air tool oil, have they experienced increased "performance"? Also, I've read about an air tool cleaner, but haven't come across anything as of yet. Any experiences with it? I...

This unit is on sale till 1/9/2012. I just picked one up. Well made and it's a great buy if the size fits your needs. Sadly, when I opened it up at home I discovered both units damaged. Tomorrow I'll exchange it and all should be good. All Good Medicine, Crow

There are ultrasonic cleaning agents that are made for rust removal. I believe that Omega de-scaler is one, but it's VERY expensive. I've also read that adding some white vinegar to the water helps in rust removal. I have an UC, similar if not the same as the HF unit and it works great. It...

Any info or experiences using products that contain paradichlorobenzene as a VCI rust preventative? I've been doing some research into tool rust prevention and haven't found anything definitive regarding it's effectiveness as such. Some "camphor" blocks are really made of paradichlorobenzene as...

After a wipe down with a rag to get the big grunge off, I use an ultrasonic cleaner with an appropriate cleaner added to the water. Works awesome......
