    Parts for old Delta drill press

    I've been looking for an older drill press lately and it got me thinking about parts availability. I found this one close to me: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/tls/5455036582.html But it's missing the motor and motor pulley. I'd like to restore one and get it back to full service but I'm not...

    Kobalt 30 gallon compressor

    I've been looking around at compressors and currently can only support 110v. I found a 30 gallon oiled unit at Lowe's that says it has dual voltage capabilities? Does anyone know how this works or if it improves the CFM rating? It has enough SCFM to handle what I'm going to be using it for...

    Toptul Ratchet

    I've finally damaged it after a year of use, or misuse. Yesterday i was trying to pry some lug nuts off that somebody overtightened. Impact was no good. Figured I'd put the trust ol Toptul to the ultimate test. I stood on it and it was fine. Gave it a good kick or two and managed the get...

    Wiring for 220v

    I'm in the market for a welder and am deciding between the HH140 or the 180 line. Biggest difference being voltage requirements. Problem is, the circuit breaker at my house is full. Is wiring a sub-panel something I could reasonably do myself or is it cost effective? I'm not even sure I'd...

    My F-150 lost a leaf spring today.

    So I lost a section of my left side leaf spring on my 1994 F-150 and in looking at everything it looks like the hangers and bushings are rusted through. Is it worth trying to jack with getting the hangers off the frame using the hardware or will drilling out the old bolts damage the frame? I'm...

    How much cfm do I really need out of a compressor?

    I will be moving into a new 2 car garage in a few weeks (and plan and getting some pictures of the new space for you guys) and with the new space it's time to get a compressor. I'll be using it for mostly tools that seem to stay under 10 cfm; impact gun, angle grinder, air hammer, etc...

    Racedeck vs. Garagetrac

    Hey guys, been a while since I've been on. Might be moving into a new garage soon and have pretty much decided I'd like a racedeck or garagetrac floor. Anybody know the difference other than weight capabilities? I'm going to be using it mostly for my bikes but I'd still prefer not to have any...

    How are you sockets stored/organized?

    I've got more sockets than I really need and am having trouble storing them all without using rails. The Matco guy had some holders that used a bunch of drives on a little track that could hold them but I'd have to buy quite a few to store everything I've got. Right now they are kinda mixed...

    Searching for a decent grease gun.

    So I've been looking for a decent pump/manual style grease gun to help keep my 4x4 serviced. It's becoming a pain to borrow or use somebody elses. I need it to have the flexible rubbet attatchement and would prefer not to buy the most expensive one on the market. Figured I'd ask you guys what...
