The valve is clearly on our property so its ours and it will get changed. Maybe the water company is supposed to shut their valve off so I can service my main valve but I never heard of people calling them for that so we'll do shut it ourselves. Back to my questions, which material, brass...

Thanks for the replies. I'm replacing it because it doesn't work. Also, my contractor is redoing the concrete on the corner section of the lot so the valve will be exposed. So I'd like to get a real quality valve and hopefully not have to worry about it in my lifetime. I don't think we have...

Sorry, its copper. Pic of existing valve as it is now. The box will get change out.

Hi All: I need to get our main water shut off valve replaced. It currently is a 3/4" gate or globe (hard to see) valve. The plan is to change it out completely to a ball valve. My main question is what material and brand valve should I get? My research has led me to either a Milwaukee or...

Hi: Brining up an old thread. I'm interested in the gravity method. So you need to keep the pedal depressed while the fluid is draining? How much to depress? And a couple of pumps will get the fluid to drain if it doesn't initially start draining? Thanks.

Hi All: Finishing up on a renovation to our home and the contractor was tasked with installing a sub meter. We have 3 units to monitor. I was planning to get the Leviton Multi Meter Unit (MMU) (6M203-CFG) but the GC is telling me might be long lead. We are real close to finishing up the...

Hi. Sorry to drag this thread on but I jus need to know where to attach the top and bottom plate to? If u can see in the pic, top are either floor joist or encasement. Bottom is the asphalt/tar (see previous post). Would weighting it down somehow work too? Thanks!!

Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions. But i'm barely a weekend warrior so pardon my ignorance. I figured a 2x stud wall would be one of the solutions, but exactly where would you attach the top plate to? The overhanging joist section or to the encasement? Also, our driveway transitions from...

Hi All, We are in the process of a home remodel and need temporary space to store our junks. We want to use our car port and temporarily wall up half (~16 ft) the car port opening, just to block the wind and rain. We live in a very rainy and windy area and the car port opening faces directly...

JimVonBaden, How did you attached the vertical 2x4 to the ceiling? Thanks.

Thanks! Yes, nice to see another local.

I bought a Craftsman aluminum jack, 2 ton model a few years ago. I'm a weekend warrior at most, and use it for maintenance purposes and light repairs, so it doesn't get used that much. But it recently started to leak. It still raised my compact and mid size car though. I also had another...

Fedwrench, Thanks for the help. Let me try this sucker out (no pun intended).

Hi: This is for all the people that own a Mityvac 7300. I bought the Mityvac 7300 pneumatic fluid evacuator and hooked it up to my compressor to give it a quick test. I wasn't evacuating any fluids, just giving it a dry run. I had a couple questions: 1) When the handle for the valve control...

How can anyone in business stay alive and compete when the next tool shop gets their stuff from China (or any cheap labor country) for a fraction of the cost? It's sad but wasn't it bound to happen?

Update Ok, got the 1/2" drive Earthquake impact from HF. I set the compressor to 90 lbs, oiled up the gun and took off the bolt with no problems at all. While I was oiling up the Earthquake, I did feel a lot more torque on this gun verses the other 2. I wish I had this gun when I took off...

My Wal-Mart sells a single car mat. Carpet/felt material on top and bubber base. Feels kind of thin and not too cheap, ~$120. Worth looking at. My Sams Club sells a different single car type mat too. All hard rubber.

I'm starting to question my compressor/hose setup, and thinking thats the bottle neck. Ok, how can I check that my regulator is working properly? The outlet that came with my unit might be too small? Do most of you change those out and to what size? I suppose I can get a shorter hose or...

I'm pretty sure. The field service manual says to turn it CCW. Thanks!!

Hmm...never thought I'd be the compressor... Here's the specs on my compressor: Husky 2.0 Running HP 30 Gallon Vertical Compressor, VT6315 A solid CAST IRON, twin cylinder compressor pump for extreme durability. Offers 135 PSI maximum pressure and air delivery 6.5/5.5 SCFM @ 40/90 PSI...
