    Kobalt air hose reel leak

    It is still leaking, but not half as bad as it was before I took this thing apart and reuse the O-ring. I called cobalt to see if they can give me some kind of part number or size of the O-ring. They have nothing they have nothing on file even for the very, very current model and before I had...

    Kobalt air hose reel leak

    Well i think it went well as it could…I banged the bench and the circlip disppeared for a long while. The replacement o-rings did not fit. The old ones are 1/16” i think and the 3/32” was not a good fit, the second time i needed an o-ring and the assortment from harbor fright was a...

    Small air compressor leak:cambell-hausfell

    I have no idea if this were a current model compressor with the o-ring implement, how in earth could this work . I found the closest 1/16” o-ring and was ble to assemble it with a fairly air tight connection which didnt last. The slightly larger oring was impossible almost to get in, not that...

    Small air compressor leak:cambell-hausfell

    I am not worried about flexing much. The tank and pump head are mounted on a rigid frame. I am still going to rotate the tank valve more to 6 o’clock so i can drain it after every use.

    Small air compressor leak:cambell-hausfell

    I am wondering how other compressors do this today? I tried the o ring but used imperial sizing… and The O RING didnt fit too fat impossible to fit without it rolling and deforming. . Perhaps a metric size assortment of o rings would have the right size.
