    How to find a slow tire leak?

    It is a 17" aluminum rim, had been running fine for 2 years, just started leaking recently (last 3 weeks). I will go over it again and dunk in water for good measure, all 4 tires were done at the shop as the same time. I wish I had a tire machine at home, every trip to the tire store is at 30...

    How to find a slow tire leak?

    One of my tires developed a slow leak, it would go from 35psi to 20psi in a week. I took the tire off and carefully inspected all the treads, both side walls, nothing. Any ideas? The tires are barely 2 years old, don't remember if the tire ship put in new valve stems or not.

    Tire pressure recommendations needed

    Most passenger tires have max psi of 50, usually for on road applications 32 cold is fine. It really depends on the weight of car, profile of tire (aspect ratio) and whether you're off-roading.

    Is HF Pittsburgh aluminum floor jack repairable?

    That thread basically said HF jacks are not good. Too late here. Thanks for the advise, I don't even know what the pressure relief valve is, I'm guessing once I disassemble it'll be obvious. For the record, the jack is not leaking fluids. I will inspect the mechanical welds this weekend...

    Is HF Pittsburgh aluminum floor jack repairable?

    I use the HF Pittsburgh jack (1.5 ton model) for quick around the car stuff. Yesterday, while jacking up the left front wheel of my car, the jack initially had a click sound, a couple pumps later, it gave a loud clunk/pop (this is before the tire lifted off the ground). Initially I thought the...

    IR air tool trigger pin

    It is IR 326, to be clear, it is the pin that holds the spring trigger. Because the pin is bent, when flipping the trigger, it sometimes does not clear the cut out and can't rotate to activate the trigger. Is this pin serviceable, it appears to be pressed in.

    IR air tool trigger pin

    I recently got an IR air cut off tool, the spring trigger pin is bent out of the box. This makes flipping the trigger a trying affair, depending on the orientation of the bend in the pin. Now the tool is fine, except this issue. Is it easy to pull the pin and straighten or replace? I really...

    What's your go to air nailer?

    I'm looking to add a couple of air nailers for work around the house. What finish nailer and frame nailer do you recommend? I heard some nailers only work with their own brand of nails, is that true? I see a lot of Bostich in HD and all Hitachi in Lowes, which will you choose, any other brand...
