Metal tubing to rubber hose crimped aluminum connectors on vehicle are weeping a bit and replacing the lines looks to be very difficult. A worm gear clamp put on the outside of the aluminum crimp didn't help much. Anyone have a solution to tighten the connections and even replace the rubber...

Rattle can or brush? Any particular brand and primer or not? We have a bit of a breaking the weather and have a couple day window for useful temperatures.

I have to get some suspension parts off that haven't been touched in 16 years and been through nasty winters so I'm looking for penetrating fluid recommendations that might help free the bolts. I should add that there are rubber bushings on the bolts involved.

Straight or bent? Primary use is cleaning thing other than vehicles. Mine are straight but I see many bent ones for sale so I didn't know the motivation.

I just got an Uberflex pressure washer hose and one end of the hose has a built-in swivel. My original hose did not have a swivel, so am I right in assuming that the swivel end goes at the spray wand?

Are there guidelines on a wire (or wires) size to interconnect two ground bars in a subpanel? I saw another older post and there were opinions both ways on whether or not it was required, but if it were done, any thoughts on wire size requirements?

My Crouse Hinds Panel's label notes choice of allowed breakers to be Crouse Hinds Type MP, MH or MM, 1, 2, or 4 pole. I am looking at a breaker (Crouse Hinds brand) and the packaging calls it MP250., 2 pole 50 amps, Style MP. The question comes in looking at the breaker's label as it notes Type...

Will different replacement intake filters possibly help quiet a noisy air compressor? If so, is bigger better?

Anyone have one to offer opinions on? I am looking at the 1800 lumen (PCL630) vs the 3000 lumen (PCL633) models for a work light in the garage ( for vehicles, on the bench, etc). I'm wondering if 3000 lumens is too much. I have several headlamps that I use to spot closeup work in the shop and...

I am considering having a subpanel about 90 feet from our main panel for (residential) 2 lighting circuits, 2 outlet circuits and a baseboard heat unit to avoid running all the wires back tot he main panel. I see that 100 amp panels are the smallest allowed, what wires would be needed ? Is there...

Are brass or stainless steel couplings and plug fittings better for a pressure washer hose and accessories? My washer came with a mixture, brass couplers and stainless plugs. It has become near impossible to get the brass couplers to lock onto the stainless plugs and this is on more than one...

Anyone have a California Air Quiet Compressor that they could share their knowledge about? I think I am headed to an aluminum model because it needs to suspended on a platform using sky hooks.

SOLD Looking to sell my used Milton S-507-18 inflator. I bought it new. It has just been used occasionally at home for our vehicles but I just got, and needed, a "senior citizen" inflator with a large dial. There are cosmetic scratches on the aluminum housing from driveway and floor contact...

Tried to look them up to find out about the quick connectors and the website links fail. Also FB does not have any postings from 2023. Gone?

What is better on a gage? I've always had angled but I can see the point of straight as most valves point outward. I'm looking at gages without a whip, just a short tubing. The ends are either straight fit or with a angle, perhaps 45 degrees.

Looking for recommendations for tire inflator/analog gage/whip/chuck assemblies. I don't mean the portable compressor units but rather the add-on end control trigger with analog gage assembly. I caught a glimpse of my tire dealer's tool and it had a very large (nice) gage but I didn't catch the...

Looking for suggestions on a thread sealer/locker that would be heat and fuel resistant and seal against bolt thread vacuum leaks in an intake system. I am dealing with a steel bolt in an aluminum manifold in an air cooled engine, so it gets hot. Through the years the bolt has worked the...

I have a Dirt Killer pressure washer that I bought new and used to maintain our home. It hasn't seen much use, mainly to wash down before staining, a few times, and a few car washes and the wood deck a few times. It's 5.5 hp Honda GX powered, adjustable 2000 psi (max), 3.2 gal/minute max...

Lately I've been thinking I need a tool tray to set in the engine compartment to keep the tools from trying to escape when set on the radiator, airbox, fusebox, etc. While recently changing the truck's battery, the wrench, sitting on the airbox, decided to make a run for it and ended up on the...

I need a cart to roll tools and parts around including on blacktop. Drawers are not important nor desired, but I see it might be a needed concession based on what is out there. It seems to possibly come down to the HF 30" single drawer cart or something in the Rubbermaid 2 level (no drawer)...
