    Inexpensive Metal Sheds ~10'x12' - Brands? Thoughts?

    I am looking to get some storage for yard tools, mower, stick my compressor out there, nothing exciting. The shed will go in my backyard and be tucked a couple feet away from a 4' solid fence [to harbor from wind]. It seems like Lowe's sells one, Home Depot, and I'd expect some other local...

    http://www.harborfreight.com/magnum-16000-auto-ramp-set-with-built-in-safety-chock-67722.html I'm interested in in a set of ramps and these seem like they'd do what I need them to do.

    Homelite Pressure Washer - Pump froze[?]

    I used my 2700psi Honda Homelite pressure washer about a month ago and forgot to drain it out completely which I'm sure is why my pump won't move any water right now. We've had some cold temperatures between now and then and I'll bet it froze up and the ice had it's way with something internally...

    I have a 220v air compressor A.O Smith electric motor [for a Craftsman Professional 60gal] that is in good working condition. The pump had a broken rod and the compressor parted out.

    I'm in the market for a 3/4" impact. I need it to crush the crush sleeve on a pinion [Dana 44 differential] which can go from 400-500ft/lbs. My 1/2" Mac impact just can't quite get there! I am running a 20gal compressor with 120psi tank pressure and 3/8" ID fittings and hose. Is the $90...

    Polished Aluminum wheels -> Brushed Aluminum?

    I have a set of polished aluminum wheels on my Jeep that I have been considering painting. I don't like the maintenance and the quality of polish isn't very good as it is.

    Inexpensive adjustable pressure switch for air compressor?

    I have a Charge AirPro compressor [20gal, 9.4scfm @ 90psi; 220v] that has a static pressure switch that I find annoying. It runs up to 125psi like a good switch, but it doesn't seem to kick back on until ~85psi or so...which is a bit low for me. I run my air tools as max psi and at 85psi or...
