Looking to put an oiler and filter on my compressor that already has a regulator. Most combo units for filtering and oiling have a regulator also. Is DOUBLE regulation a bad thing? Should I set the first one at MAX and let the second one do the final regulation? I guess I could take the supplied...

Of all the various types of goop we have in our garages (car waxes, sprays, cleaners, sealants, penetrates and such) can it be easily determined which CANNOT or should not get frozen? I am referring mostly to permanent damage to the goop or dangerous explosions from expansion. I have an...

Pardon me if this has been covered and provide a link to the thread, I **** at searches. I have a new driveway (installed in may) and installer says the fall is the time to seal it (5-6 months?). My question is two part. One is should I do it myself or is the quality of the sealer "better"...

I call em green pads but I know they come in other colors. Are they rated and numbered for coarseness like sandpaper? I have ONE course pad left (no idea where it came from) and would like to get some more. Haven't seen them locally except the ones used in the kitchen work. Would like to find...

I have a leaky a car I can't get to for a while. Is there a mat available to place on driveway to absorb the oil till I can get the car repaired? Black to blend in with the driveway would be a plus. Or should I just throw a chuck of luan plywood out there?

I never would have imagined using a 3 ton arbor press for this type of woodworking but, hey, it worked great.

I believe it's some sort of body trim or car window tool but I really don't know [/IMG]

Have a special application where I need a 1-5/16" MAGNETIC Socket strong enough to securely hold a 7/8-9unc x 2-3/4 long grade 8 bolt to get it started, then torqued. It's less than a pound but HAS TO BE secure. Special tool design to get behind a 6' high 10' long cabinet 6" from a wall and...

I know this if for tools but what better tool than a good driveway for a driveway mechanic? lol Better replies here actually. I have two quotes differing in cost by quite a bit. This is for a small portion over existing driveway and much larger NEW area. The two areas are contiguous. Both...

Anyone have experience with these attachments to a Sawzall reciprocating saw? Like these? Better brand? I have crud blocked directly over or I would run the belt sander over it.

Brand new Bosch MRC23EVSK router just plain stopped working after less than 1 hour of run time, probably a lot less. Got it earlier this week and was about 4 hours into first project. Completed a series of cuts, no problems. Reset my jig for another pass and just one click from motor and...

I just got the MRC23EVSK router and aluminum mounting plate 9334 from MLCS. The plate has hole patterns (just center drilled, not drilled through) for Bosch 1617 and 1618 routers. Are those holes the same as the MRC23EVSK router? That hole pattern is also used for Porter Cable, Milwaukee and...

When I got my last one (Sears) I don't recall so many choices. Any thoughts on which to get assuming you could only get ONE? As usual I like the Bosch units but am open to suggestions. But again, I am a homeowner, not a professional.

I was asking about a small case to store some measuring tools. Well I have a solution but not sure if it's final or not. I used a plastic storage clipboard from Staples and got some thin foam sheet from AC Moore. I might go with a metal version if this proves convenient. It's a little wimpy but...

I guess I probably didn't ask the right question last time. Let me try again. Maybe I'll get the answer I want if I ask the right question...lol I am looking for a case like this only empty preferably with foam. I am looking to make up my own set with my own tools...
