I purchased a Aircat 3/8 Nitrocat compact impact gun,, love this gun,, 550 Ft Lbs. EXCEPT I can not get the damned sockets on or off because of the damned "hog ring" socket retainer, most times it takes 20-30 seconds to get a socket on or off, last time I had to use a small pry bar to get it...

I have a compressor tank, it has a check valve/unloader with a 3/8 compression fitting on the top, where a 3/8 alum tube connected. I need to find a brass fitting that screws in where the tube connected that is 3/8 or 1/2" NPT or better yet 3/8 45 deg flare. I know I am using the wrong key...

I am trying to locate a basic CHEAP 3/8 or 1/2" water separator without filter. I am finding the ones with a filter and or regulator all day long in the $20-$30 range. but the only "water separators" I find are in the $100-200 range. This is going after my "after cooler" to collect the water...

I was thinking of coming off the tank with a 1/2" ******, ball valve then 1/2" hose barb and 30' 1/2" hose. Then reduce the 1/2" hose to 3/8" or even 1/4" for the last 6' Worth the trouble? or wasting my time. Compressor will be a generic HD/Lowes/TSC 60gal single stage (10.5 CFM @90) Air...

I'll be using a portable 150 psi 5.5cfm @90 till I get my 80gal Champion rebuilt and set up. That leads me to try to get the most out of my impacts, ratchets, etc. Are some brand chucks, fittings, etc flow better? Anyone "drill out" fittings for less restriction? Thoughts? Slack

I have an 80gal air tank with 2 large (2") bungs on the side. each has a pipe plug with a female 7/8" - 15/16" square recess. Tried a 3/4 drive breaker bar, it was about to spin in the recess. do they make a 7/8" sq drive wrench for this ?? Nick

Picked up a 3## piece set on clearance for less than 1/2 price. The Ratchets blow,, really bad. The direction selector on all 3 ratchets slips out of position just everytime. If you "wrench" to fast it slips into the middle or opposite direction, or if your finger gets within a 1/8" of the...

Thinking of using a transmission coiler for a Air compressor after cooler. I see 2 types of Trans coolers: 1- parallel tubes running from side to side, each side having a "tank" or larger tube. 2- series, or one long tube snaking through the radiator. Does the one long tube snaking through...

I have an older (FREE) (1985) 80 gal horz tank and Champion 15B pump. I am looking into have the 15B pump freshened up/rebuilt, purchasing a 5hp 1750 rpm motor, cleaning up the tank, new switches, etc. I will probably have around $1000-1200 into it once I am done. On the flip side I could...

Putting together my own shop compressor (I think). I will be having a separate tank and motor/pump (about 10' apart. I can not find a compressor "base plate" to mount the motor/pump/fan guard to. I am not in the position to fabricate one at this time. I would have thought I could purchase...

Getting ready to sweat the mechanicals up and was looking for any input before I do. See attached sketch. It is a closed system with 2 - 300' loops. I placed the fill and purge connections as the highest point, so when pumping in the antifreeze solution it would be easier to purge the air. I...
