Any other thoughts before I reassemble this?

Just returned my pair of 3-ton stands. The kid at the register gave me the option of a gift card or crediting the amount to my debit card. I took the credit to the debit.

That was my other hesitation. I've watched a few videos of air ratchet teardowns, including one from Chicago Pneumatic, and they all used a moly grease in this spot. I was thinking about going ahead and using some, but I wonder if I'd run into issues mixing it with the oil, especially in the...

I have an old Allied Pneumatic made in Japan 3/8" air ratchet that I've partially stripped down. The instruction sheet that came with it says "Use a good quality 5 weight oil for the motor and 20 weight for the gear or impact chamber." The first part I understand--this is the standard...

Alright, need some guidance here. How do I remove the arbor?

I picked up a very tired IR 301 (not B) die grinder for $5 a while back and have decided to disassemble and clean it up. Other than the exploded diagram for the 301B, I don't have much to go on for how to proceed. I'm assuming that I should unscrew the large nut that couples the head to the body...

Hell yeah! Thank you.

Found this in our attic when we moved in.

I need to go to pick up some nitrile gloves, but I'm imagining they're out of stock like everywhere else. If anyone can confirm, let me know.

I just finished drilling out four 3/4" holes in my driveway for gate drop rods to rest in. Each hole has a 1 1/2" long galvanized steel pipe connector inside. The fit between connector and hole is pretty tight, but I'd like to seal any gaps and the top edge between asphalt and steel I'm looking...

Could use some recommendations for a cordless model from current or past owners.

The comparison to Goldstar changing its name to LG is a good one.

The ones I've already gotten off, I don't replace. One of those had to be drilled out. There are two left on one car, and all four on an Audi. I don't have an oxyacet torch, so an impact driver is what I'm going to use. Thanks for the replies. I'll go with a 3/8".

Need to add a manual impact screwdriver to my tool collection to assist in removing the rotor screws from my VW. The screws are T30 heads. First question: What do I want in a driver: 3/8 or 1/2"? And for the T30 bit, am I correct in assuming I need impact rated 5/16 shank? Educate me!

+1 Glad you pushed until you got what you paid for: a working compressor with no issues.

Excellent work!

Sigh. Once again, I'm not bad mouthing the performance of the jack, but rather the absence of an oil fill plug. And it being 20 years old has nothing to do with it -- if I had known jack about jacks when I bought this one, I'd have levelled the same criticism of it brand new (and likely not have...

No experience with the Metabo, but I have an older Steinel HG3002 LCD that's served me well.

Um, you're missing the point. I'm not annoyed by the performance of the jack for its price. I'm annoyed by a design decision that made the simple task of adding oil a production. And yes, I have multiple other jacks. :rolleyes: Lol. :bounce:

I picked up this cheap 2 ton jack about 20 years ago. Pumping the handle raises the jack, but it can't lift any weight when the saddle makes contact. I assume that it has a bad seal, but I figured I'd try replacing the old oil. Well, I don't know how common this is, but there's no fill port in...
