It's surprisingly quiet (IMO). I don't see how it wouldn't work very well for nailers. It ***** for OBA - too slow (but that's not what it was built for)

I personally wouldn't expect any longevity from Kobalt, but I don't have a crystal ball and guess I could be wrong. Even if you can still buy batteries in ~5 years, they're unlikely to invest much innovation into the line, eg increased amp hours, rapid chargers, multi-bay chargers and new...

Cash, or financed to the truck?

The tip is the first thing I change too if experiencing problems. That said, I've run .035 tips with .030 forever. Seems to reduce feed problems on baby wire feeds. On my Lincoln 256, though, I still run .035 tips with .035 wire, but Lincoln's drive system is seriously overbuilt. Oddly -- and...

I've never understood how anyone buys a box off the truck. The margins on boxes have to be HUGE. I've worked in a sheetmetal shop. We didn't build Snappy boxes but we built numerous cabinets with dual doors around the shop. Bending up a box and slapping some paint on it does not justify the...

Well damn I think you'll like the 2767 but I'm late to recommend the AME International 1" for a mere $8500 at MSC: https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/96883780 It actually popped up in my ads at the top of the forum 'cause I order a ton from MSC. Maybe @Torque Test Channel could sell a...

Milwaukee's probably the best bet for warranty support, if that matters. Within 5 years just print out a prepaid FedEx label and ship it off.

My old Audis included "hangers" in the spare tire kit, basically just all-thread with a not-threaded part for the wheel to rest on. They were actually plastic IIRC I've noticed the rear wheels on my Kubota L2800 have 2 wheel studs with nuts, the rest are bolts. I thought that was kinda cool as...

Snappy EEPV508 oil pressure tester

Never knew they made sets for these. Still, the odds of having what I'd need for a given seal seem unlikely? Maybe not? Anyway, subscribed.

Needed some 6" flat bar today and didn't have time to go to steel yard. Had some 3/16" plate out back so ripped a 4' length. Worked fine. Also I can tell you the M18 compressor will air four 37's from 12 to 28psi but it's slow and will trip the thermal if you try for a fifth tire.....all in...

I was just reading on the Pontiac Tempest rear d/s.....was 5/8" dia and bowed as it ran under the floorpan. I also didn't realize DeLorean had designed it.

Uh, that just means you're a good welder. If someone says they're really good with MIG but admits they're not great with stick, translation is "I'm not a very good welder." Before anyone gets **** hurt and needs a safe space because they think I'm judgy, I fall squarely into the category of...

I recently did a timing set on a Ford 3.5 NA and discovered I was woefully unprepared to pull or reinstall the crank pulley/harmonic balancer. So, new-to-me Lisle master puller set and BluePoint installation set. I got the Lisle second-hand missing some pieces but they're quite good about...

At least it's inert. I found a leak on my acetylene regulator a couple years ago -- that seems bad ;)

Uh, you've got enough power with something like 6011 to literally burn thru 1/4" plate if you stay in one place long enough. As said, it's your skills that matter here.

I've given up on Zoro. Haven't even opened an email from them in months. It would seem their new strategy is working for them. If so, good for them (seriously). They're just no longer a fit for me as a consumer. If I want to pay full retail for everything I'd be a government agency spending...

Does Ford use 20mm somewhere on newer vehicles? I've never encountered it through 2011 MY......

PATS is ultimately just a hassle. There's a guy on FTE who can disable, but you gotta send him your PCM. I've been meaning to do this. The whole "token" thing for locksmiths to copy a key feels like a Teamsters scam. WHO exactly issues or controls these tokens and WHY them and not someone...

Honestly I always used whichever was cheapest on Amazon - seems there's always one of the Rohms in Warehouse Deals
