I realized I posted to wrong forum so reposted in Tools. I don’t see how to delete here so sorry for duplicate post. I have an old floor jack from Harbor Freight. A Central Hydraulics Model 34271 if that helps. It doesn't take a full pump as it get's higher. Smaller and smaller strokes w/...

TunerPro is great if you are good with laptop. Freeware/donate software. A lot of support in community for it on, at least, GM which is what I use it on. It has some support for other brands but you’d have look website to see what models. It does support live data but that depends on the...

She likes it but just got it so we'll see. We live in Tucson and she likes to walk but get's hot during peak of summer so wanted something to walk inside - not a running thing. It's heavier than I expected - not too hard to pick up like wheel barrow to standing height and roll but may be kind...

I suggested putting it under bed but didn't realize the drastic impact yen or fung shei or whatever that would occur with the treadmill in the bedroom. It has to go in the workout/yoga room. thanks for suggestions @yatg and @GeoBruin - I’ll stop by HF and pick up whatever is cheapest or...

Hi, My wife bought a lay flat treadmill which is marketed as being able to roll into a closet and store upright. (It's like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MW394BB/?tag=atomicindus08-20) The problem is that it's too heavy for her to clean and press it up into the vertical position. It's...

I think you're probably right. I just assumed bristle meant the bristley things in a brush and all brushes were 100% bristle. As mentioned, there are many synthetic bristle brushes, etc. I also assumed that for a brush that retails for about a buck, it'd be coming off some big, mass...

I’ve seen plenty of brushes with synthetic bristles. Some brushes with hair bristles. Seems all brushes have bristles of one kind or another and all are 100% ”bristle”

What would be a non-pure bristle?

We’ll, it’s worth it to me just for the ease of cleaning up after little jobs. I’m not good enough painting yet to be frustrated or even notice finer details of paint gun performance. When, or if, I get to point where I recognize some problem with it - then I’ll shop around for something to...

I’ve been looking for a ring roller that will work on 1/4 round. I read reviews of the HF ring roller and people complained that dies were not 1/4” and chewed up work. They also said it has plastic parts which crack. I went to HF and sure enough dies are too small for 1/4”. Also looks like...

I started off with the HF purple gun for starting to learn. I got tired of cleaning it - I’d paint some little project in 10min and spend 30min cleaning up. I bought one of those 3M Pps guns and very happy with it, so much quicker and easier to clean up. The biggest issue for me as newbie...

I would appreciate thoughts on my plan. This is a bit outside my experience. I want to turn on/off pump from phone as well as automate/set timer on it if desired. pump will be outside by fuse box, AC, swamp cooler. I’ll add a 20a breaker and a weatherproof box for a plug for the motor. I was...

Thanks again for suggestions and replies. I appreciate the ideas and suggestions!

Thanks for replies. I live in Tucson, dry desert and hot. A misting system can make the patio nice for a dinner, etc. Not something to run all the time. I'd feel bad about the water use. I have to put on jacket when it get's into the 80's. That's winter weather to me. I'm a desert rat. So I...

Hi, I’m installing a misting system for back porch. It has a high pressure pump driven by a 1 hp 120v motor. I’m looking for a remote control switch or outlet to turn on/off the pump. 10,000 outdoor remote plugs on amazon and just looking to shorten my search. Wondering if anyone has...

I bought the Makita several years ago and have been happy for garage/hobby/metal furniture projects. I got it as the pivot and the mitre design looked better than other dry cut saws. So far no complaints. Can mitre square tube for square frames without cleanup of cuts. i like that it’s ~small...

I think good choice from my perspective. As far as I could tell, Eaton and Emax are same units. Memory was Eaton shipping costs were very high for me (~$800) and you could get the same Emax I wanted (not sure depending on specific model you want) via Home Depot with similar warranty and no or...

Ah, the which air compressor to buy question. I went down that rabbit hole a year ago and am now in recovery, going to my meetings regularly, and don’t think about it every day anymore. So many options, so many opinions, so dependent on anticipated use - not to mention the debate on where it’s...

Thanks. I thought about a gasket but the design is such the mating surfaces are essentially line-line. I was worried about the gasket thickness changing the volume in the chambers too much and lowering compression.

Thanks - I don’t think I’ll spend anymore money on this one. I bought a new bigger compressor for myself and was giving this to my son. Just wanted to stop the little leak if reasonably possible without trashing it.
