That's a 'you ****' deal! I just bought 4 sheets of 400 grit at Home Depot for $7! What a ripoff!

I have a 5hp 80gal IR that puts out 18 cfm. I've painted several cars with it and have done quite a bit of blasting too. Blasted a couple of different frames using a quality pressure pot blaster. Never had to wait for it to catch up. Blasting does use a lot of air, though. If you can swing...

I have a bunch more now. Funnels inside of funnels.

I've had these for years. Definitely high quality! Sharp, comfortable and strong...

A board, scrap PVC and a section of trench drain fished out of the metal bin at work. I throw a towel over the top to keep the dust off. Has worked fine for years.

No labels. I know where everything is and no need for anyone else to be in my box! The only thing I have labeled is this nut and bolt holder where I keep spare/sharpened drill bits..............

Very nice! I like the red. You don't see that often. Here's mine I restored several years ago..... Before.............. After.............

Over the last 40 years I've had two pools installed in my houses. This is what the pros use....... https://www.sunshinesupply.com/MEADDOSPG.96OZ?quantity=4&custcol3=28&gclid=CjwKCAjwoqGnBhAcEiwAwK-OkVBVDqp9HPygqC3pM_4XwdQzFoQnHRSy5nkVCw0sFz4ViIGlS7v6kRoCmh0QAvD_BwE I replaced mine once myself...

Get it home, clean it up and post more pics!

Yep.....without a doubt!

On my IR 5hp 80gal compressor, I drilled a hole in the motor/pump mounting plate and installed an eye bolt. When/if I need to move it I just hook up my engine hoist and wheel it wherever I need to go. Simple, cheap and functional.

Well worth the $20!

I love my older Craftsman low profile 3/8" ratchet. It's my main ratchet and pretty much all I use! They don't make 'em anymore so consequently, when you do find one it's usually a little steep in price. Here's one on Ebay...

It gets used a lot for all of the above! I'm just gonna grab some NAPA 30wt ND and change it.

Thanks everyone....you just saved me a fortune! NAPA for the win...

It's time to change the oil on my IR 5L5 and online prices for IR oil is $40+ per quart! I've had the unit since 2006 and I changed the oil the first time right at the recommended 200hrs. That time I used IR oil that came with the compressor. Now, I'm at 550 hrs so I'm way overdue. I was...

Steel and concrete.

Awhile back I restored the same Wilton 4.5" vise. Check out my resto thread. You may find some useable tips in there. Great vise BTW! https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/as-promised-wilton-vise-restoration-thread.42888/

Our local garbage company takes my used oil for free. They also provide as many 1 gallon containers as I need. I pour it from my drainpan into the containers and set them out with the garbage on Tuesday mornings.

Been working fine for the last 10 years. Never an issue and I've used the press a bazillion times.
