Just once I'd like to be able to blow myself up by using a non regulated gas can spout. Mine came with a coloring book and locations to the nearest safe room Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Generac portable units or permanently attached standbys are good. Tri fuel kit will run on NG. LPG and gasoline connect to house supply Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn you're good. That's the way to check this stuff out. I have not seen a unit like the VAT-40 for ages. Snap-On bought Sun out years ago so a lot of Snap-On testers used the VAT40 operation but it may broaden your search. All I've found are the carbon pile battery testers so you can at least...

I have this problem with a generator I bought when I tried to run a 5 HP Air compressor off it. 13k rated but couldn't start it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A " professional" job wouldn't usually be in a " professionals" box but it is cool as heck. Once I retired I too am working on this. Snap-On does sell drawer liner already made for this and laminated together I chose the yellow bottom layer for my Royal Blue boxes Sent from my iPhone using...

Very correct. Current diesel is very clean and extremely low sulfur. And " winterized diesel " is what used to be #1 and has detergents and wax modifiers to prevent gelling when cold, which happens when cold. And my goodness that's when we use our heaters right? Oh yeah. Right now Kerosene is...

Damn that's almost a low gear 4X4 slope for a garage ! Lol. Good for a wash bay though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The posts or support cylinders should always be plumb and the lifting arms or ramps level in both planes same as house structure so the loading of the lift goes " straight into the ground and not canted. If it is not the lift " could" , I repeat," could" collapse. Most equipment can probably...

You cannot beat a variable carbon pile load tester and accurate voltmeter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The amount one needs is inversely proportional to the amount of money you have. But I really don't think it possible to have too many Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The purpose of the CAN by th compressor is to catch the first fluid. As it travels from there out the rest of the lines the piping cools the air down and moisture drops out into your hoses. That's why in a correctly designed system the service drops come off the top and have drain valves at the...

Was this the first time you had to special order ? Shipping on that stuff for a single order is stiff. If the other things you bought were on the truck the shipping costs are spread out. The guys in business to make money and most do some kind of cash discount just to keep expense cash flowing...

Is there a point here about Snap On. You used a 3/4 gun that didn't do it and a six foot cheater. Heck a lot of stuff will break like that. That's a lot of twist on an extension. And if ( I repeat.) if you tried using that extension with the 3/4 gun you would have lost 1/2 of its torque through...

In my area this is common also from HVAC suppliers. The supply houses and the contractors around here very strongly attempt to block any individual trying to do their own work on their own property. Yet those same people are the same ones that will go to an auto supply store for parts on their...

Ratchet straps on the longest two diagonal corners. Tighten those till it pulls into square. ( the lumber will flex ) once it's perfectly square lay the flooring in place and glue and screw it down as many sheets as possible. Let glue set up and remove the straps and finish and it will stay in...

I quit using the pin stands available AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THEM. 40 years ago because I had a car fall off them. The pin did not fail the bases were not wide enough and it fell over. Part design fail at the time part my stupidity I now use ratchet style with largerbases welded on and a flip...

Those pin stands WHT showed are WAYYYYY more solid than the typical ones you find on my area. Most here at a piece of heavier wall tubing with 3-4 lengthwise cuts on one end with those cut ends flared out for feet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kythri. Don't want to change your mind but the ratchet style release cannot be pulled or released with a load and if the ratchet casting breaks you still must fall through the release pivot pin and conversely if the erase pin broke the latch portion of the ratchet rests against stops unless...

It would also be good if you could clamp it on a drill press Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That 6.5 HP rating is how Sears listed theirs also and if I remember that was at full load or with a locked rotor to show max hp like using the start windings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
