    Air compressor after cooler.

    Do I need one? I'm plumbing my air lines this weekend. I'm going to have an outlet near the compressor to use air tools on my work bench and then run a copper line over to the door for a reel. I got a combo regulator and separator. From what I understand the separation needs to be a good...

    Air hose reel size

    I just bought a 60 gallon IR compressor for my shop. I'm going to plumb a 1/2 copper air line across to the garage door and put a hose reel there. I'm not going to be using it every day and when I do it will be for typical shop uses (air tools etc) so I know 3/8 is sufficient. Once a year, I...

    Walk behind leaf blowers

    Who owns one and what brand should I look at? I know Little Wonder seems to be the most popular. I certainly dont think I'd pay new prices for it but they're are plenty available on the second had market. I see that Home Depot sells Toro and Cub Cadet. How do they compare? They are much cheaper.

    I have clearing my driveway yesterday with my 2 stage snow blower. I was working fine until it just stalled abruptly. When I started it back up the auger doesn't turn anymore.

    Pressure testing a water line

    I hooked my water line for the shop into the house yesterday. Valved off the line inside the house after purging the air and filling the line with water. Had just over 60 psi on my gauge inside the shop. This morning, after about 15 hours my gauge reads 43. Obviously I know water pressure will...

    Water hose/reel in shop

    I'm on the fence of whether I want to do a regular outdoor frost free hose bib outside of my shop or a indoor hose/reel close to where my sink will be. Any pros/cons other than not having to worry about the hose freezing and the potential to add hot water into the mix? Pics of your setup would...
