    Craftsman Compressor Capacitor

    I have a small Craftsman air compressor. Model #921.152100. It started smoking real bad, after I took it apart realized that one of the two capacitors was bulging and starting melt and burn. It was the running capacitor. Sears lists the capacitor as discontinued. Any good places that sell...

    Repair Manuals

    I am a DIY guy and I am looking at getting a 2006 Mazda5. There does not seem to be a Haynes manual for this vehicle. Where do you pro guys get manuals? Book or online. Thanks Edit: I have found some used ones on EBay/Amazon for around $120 is that reasonable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1/2 Drive Sockets

    First post, I have been reading and learning for awhile. I need some 1/2 drive sockets. Should I get chrome or impacts? Are there any benefits either way? My thought is just get impacts and then I can use them with air tools or a ratchet. Let me know what the GJ thinks.
