    230v air compressor recommendation needed

    So at first I was after a 110v compressor. Then after reading online I see that you dont need a neutral for 230v, and you can use the white wire as a hot thus now making that circuit 230v. With that said, I need some recommendations on what I can buy. Id prefer a big box store so I can pick it...

    Question on wiring 220v air compressor.

    So as Im looking for a 110v AC for the shed, I see that since I already have a decent feed going out to the shed, I could use 220v. But one reason I didnt want to go 220v was because I thought I needed to pull 12/3 wiring to use 220v. I did some reading online and it seems that I would NOT need...

    HF pro ratchets or GW 120xps for home use.

    I just got done reading and looking up these two. I'd be using these for home use only. I seen the HF flex ends up weak after a while but dodnt see what with the GW 120xp's.

    Looking for sockets. Sunex, Tekton or GP duo?

    So I'm looking to outfit myself with full socket set, no more mismatched set. I would use chrome sockets more often than impact but those duo sockets seem sweet and have good reviews. But I see Tekton and Sunex are talked about too. I think I can justify the duo sockets are they are dual...

    Need a good ratchet set: 1/4 , 3/8, 1/2

    Looking for a set of ratchets that aren't crazy expensive. I have snap-on at work but I don't need that quality at home. And most of my stuff is larger anyway at work. What else is out there? I've never had flex head ratchets, are they worth it?

    Socket holders/racks... Westling Mach. Vs. Plastic alternatives

    I'm debating if I can justify the Westling Mach. socket holders or just get the HF ones/plastic alternatives... I don't really see the advantage on the Westlings vs plastics, other than its longevity in use and their ability to hold on to sockets well. These will be used at home and sit in a HF...
