    Porter cable cpf23400s tripping breaker

    Perhaps a weak breakers? I ran a much heavier hitting Porter-Cable C3151 Job Boss 4.5gal on a 15a circuit. I had a circuit where it kept tripping unnecessarily using that compressor. I swapped it with another known-working breaker, of equivalent amperage, and my problem went away. So I...

    Terrible Lathe Accident

    I've spent a few hours on a lathe and certainly respect it. Not many machines will severely hurt you or kill you with as little warning as a lathe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Welding helmets

    Definitely. The HF hood seems "ok" when you have nothing else to compare it to, but quickly falls short when you get under a better hood. I sold myself on a different one by picking up the $100 Kobalt at Lowes, I figured if it wasn't better, I could easily return it...well, I still have it and...

    Ball joint separator tool

    I'm not sure he was looking for the ball joint replacement tool, but it does work decently for that job. What you need to try: I use this one to separate the ball joint from the knuckle. Load it up with some tension [lube the threads] and smack it with a hammer to pop the joint. 100x better...

    Show us your compressor plumbing and manifolds

    The compressor is in the box. I have not had any issues with water and the blast cabinet, the air goes through about 9' of Copper before the regulator/water trap, then another 5' before the cabinet. However, I have not used it in humid/Summer days yet. I do expect to add some sort of after...

    That's pretty normal. You're seeing a pool of a couple people that are knowledgeable and for the most part, lucky. That pool of a couple people makes it look like "everyone" is finding these deals when reading these threads, but that's not quite the case. Every store is different when it comes...

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    I have the 170a machine. I upgraded the ground lead but have really worked the welder over for 2-3 years now. By no means is it a "good" welder but it sure is better than nothing! I've made my $170 back on it many times over and even welded the knuckles to my front axle with it on my Wrangler...

    These went for 90% off a week or two ago in Texas. They were stuck out in the main isle on a rack. Gallon and hose-hookup bottles.

    How to store tye raps

    Something that is hydroscopic attracts and retains moisture, like brake fluid. His use of the word was referring to it as losing moisture, drying out, and becoming brittle. In effect, the opposite of something that is hydroscopic, I'm sure there is a fancy term to fill in there. Sent from my...

    Thanks! my buddy just ordered the Irving, TX one. Any tips for finding these items on the Lowe's site by browsing? Their site is painful to filter through and just scour for deals.

    If you are looking online and that store is out-of-stock on it, it usually reflects full price, or the last price it was at.
