    Selecting Air Impact - Might Have Made Bad Choice

    I honestly purchased it online, I asked to return it and they directed me to IR, who directed me to a service center... The kicker, I took it to work with me and threw it on a line in our shop... still nothing... I just worry I'm going to under power the tool and not get more torque than the...

    Selecting Air Impact - Might Have Made Bad Choice

    Hi Guys, I've recently started an automotive project that has lead me to needing air tools. Specifically, the job requires an air hammer/chisel. Otherwise I would need a torch, and I find air more versatile. I only have a 20x20 garage currently so I was hoping to find something quiet...

    Garage Needs More Juice!

    Garage is attached. Box and garage are on the unfinished side of the basement. The box has much room for more circuits. I'm just unclear how the wires are routed from the garage to the basement. They leave the garage above the man door. The garage is 20x20 and there isn't an entry door to the...

    Garage Needs More Juice!

    Hi all, I'll admit that the way I installed my three big 7 foot fluorescent lights is very shotty and potentially unsafe. We won't go into detail, but know I did so temporarily until I can get a second circuit ran. They aren't on very often and I'm mindful of them. My garage is on the...

    10 gal. Air Compressor

    I wouldn't want to spend more than $200 on the impact. I've got my eye on that Dewalt. I'll look at the IR 2130. Thank you for the confidence boost in my choice! Great to hear! This is exactly the type of feedback I was looking for. What tools are you running with it?

    10 gal. Air Compressor

    Being as small volume as it is, this was a big factor since it will run more often. Also, the garage being so small a louder compressor would be very annoying. I agree, the warranty may indeed be with it!

    10 gal. Air Compressor

    I don't really mind the idea. I mean even if it breaks the tougher bolts loose o have corded and cordless impacts to finish them off. I just run into the occasional situation where I need an air hammer or cutoff wheel that the compressor would be helpful there. Inflating tires and such. Just...

    10 gal. Air Compressor

    Hi all, I'm thinking about picking up a California Air Tools 10gal. 2HP air compressor that does 5.2CFM at 90psi. I have a 20x20 garage. Very limited space. This compressor would only be used for occasional both breaking and home improvement projects. I see a bunch of 450+ft. Lbs. Impacts...

    Choosing New Furnace For House

    Hi all, Thank you for the responses! I'm in Southwest Michigan about 5 miles from the lakeshore. I live on the north facing edge of a 4 acre field where I get heavy wind from the west. The home has very large windows that radiate cold air (soon to be replaced), and do the opposite during the...

    Choosing New Furnace For House

    Hi All, I came home the other day and my 22 year old furnace was short cycling. I called to have a technician evaluate it. He replaced a capacitor, cleaned the flame sensor, and removed a very old grungy playing card (king of hearts) from the lower fan. He also found fragment of a rivet from...

    20x20 Garage - Heat?

    Well deducted, sir! I'm in Holland. I'm a W-body enthusiast. Gained the name by being the only Buick owner in the local W-body community. I have zero heat currently. Looking for something to bring the temp up to something comfortable, like 50*-60* during winter for a few hours at a time. I...

    20x20 Garage - Heat?

    Hi all, I have a 20x20 attached garage that is completely uninsulated. It feels like the wind goes right through it when its cold. I've considered a salamander or an upright kerosene heater. My only question, which is better? Limited storage space, preferably something not requiring...

    Medium Duty Workbench

    Hi all, I'm interested in a medium duty workbench. Something with a solid wood top that I can also mount a nice vise to. 48"-56" ideally. I had considered building one, but graduate school is time consuming and the majority if my time in the garage is much needed auto maintenance. Right now I...

    Impact and Drill Combo - What's your choice?

    Well fellas, I made a decision! I decided after reading some posts on this forum from as far back as 2011 that 18v would be too much for my intended use. I have a 1/2" corded impact and multiple length breaker bars. I don't need air, and I shouldn't need a super powerful impact in 1/4" drive...
