Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowe's, Tractor Supply, etc. all sell the 4500 RPM wire wheels and end brushes designed for drills. It gets me because all the big box stores sell die grinders. At Menards you can actually get PFERD ones designed for a die grinder. Locally here I am pretty much...

My regular Snap On impacts do fine on my Jeep wheels, but I have an interference problem on my neighbor's Nissan. I see HF has two different types, white coated and red coated, and then are various brands of thin wall. The Chicago Pnuematic (not associated with HF) seem to be the best...

Does Snap On make similar? http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/pliers/3-piece-long-reach-hose-grip-pliers-37909.html I've had enough problems with HF stuff over time I'm hesitant to buy their brand.

Just wondering if Matco impacts are the same as Sunex? Are they made to better tolerances or any differences?

I recently picked up a set. What I've found is they don't seem to sit as far into the bolt, but fit very tight. My standard Snap Ons go farther down but can be rotated back and forth a little. This is on a Jeep, if that matters. Is this an acceptable trade off? Should I look to another...

I realize this is a broad question and the answers will likely depend on residential or industrial use. An HVAC technician may use different meters than someone working on electronics. The highest voltage I am reasonably going to encounter around the house is 240V but who knows maybe one day...

I have (2) 5 HP single phase, dual stage air compressors. When they are both running I notice slight flickering in smaller wattage (60W) incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs. If only one is running the flickering is almost unnoticeable. Using a Fluke 325, I measured motor current and they...

When using 3/8" FMC, I am wondering if the photo attachment is the correct chart to use. I had some difficulty locating this as most of the charts I was looking at were for 1/2" or larger.

I have read a bunch of threads but none seemed to answer my question. One reason I'm looking for the air dryer is because I have air tools that use a lot of air, like angle grinders. There is usually some condensation coming out the grinder's exhaust. I don't think any amount of air...

I would like to build a control panel for my air compressors. I am going to wire in an alternating relay and would like to have a "remote" switch by the shop door so I can power off the controls. I thought some indicator lights to show power on, switched on, etc. would be nice but that's...

I am looking to add a belt guard to my compressors. I see that many of the newer ones are simply bent wire. The older ones typically used a sheetmetal frame with expanded metal. I can see the wire ones potentially providing more airflow but suspect the switch was to save money. Anyone have...

When the tank is under pressure and you open the drain valve, water and air shoot pretty far. I would like a more controlled way to collect the water. If I just put a hose on there into a bucket, it's going to spray all over the place. I am thinking of keeping the elbow and 3-1/2" ****** with...

What are the best/recommended speeds for 3/8" and 1/2" air drills? Snap On has their PDR3000A (3/8") at 2400 and their PDR500A (1/2") at 450RPM. Cornwell sells a 3/8" at 1800 and a 1/2" at 800. Matco sells a 3/8" at 2000 and a 1/2" at 500. Mac I couldn't find any speeds on.

My home has an Eaton BR type panel. One day I was running an extension cord from an outlet to an air compressor. It was a 12 gauge extension cord but it turned out the male plug into the wall was defective. It got hot but it never tripped the breaker. Later when I took the cover off the...

Hi, I picked up 2, 5HP air compressors and am looking to wire them. Per NEC, 28A FLC wire for 125% of FLC. At first I thought of using #10 THHN for each since its rated for 35A @75C and 40A @90C. However, then I started reading that the maximum overcorrect protection device is 30A for #10...

I am looking at compressors. Some of them like the Saylor Bealls and Champions use pneumatic controlled tank drains while others are run electrically. I am wondering from those that have experienced both if one is better than the other? I can see the integrated pneumatic system convenient...

I have seen two compressors with shot rings that were pumping oil. In both cases the tanks had inches of powdered rust colored in them, usually at one corner. In cases where the pump was good, but the tank not drained regularly, the tank was more likely to have water and flakes of rust coming...
