    30 Gallon Portable Vertical Compressor - Analysis Paralysis

    I have more than enough electrical service at the house for this. The problem getting 22v to the garage is that it is a rear entry (walk out basement) garage and the entire basement level is finished space - sheetrock walls, ceiling etc. with the electric service entrance and panels on the...

    30 Gallon Portable Vertical Compressor - Analysis Paralysis

    I don't have a review yet although I've made the decision to go with this FS Curtis. I'm just sort of waiting for what's going to happen with 2020 before I spend the extra $. But once I'm ready to pull the trigger I'm set on FS Curtis.

    Milwaukee M18 Grease Gun Clear Barrel - Thoughts?

    One type of grease I use is really light and it's harder to see on the rod when you pull it out. Plus I don't always remember what I last loaded in the gun since I only use it occasionally, so I was hoping this would solve that problem since I could see the tube. I wound up calling Milwaukee...

    Milwaukee M18 Grease Gun Clear Barrel - Thoughts?

    So I've got the M18 Grease Gun. I only use it occasionally on my vehicles and compact tractor. So it's easy to loose track of where I'm at on grease as a tube can last me a really long as with every newer vehicle I have fewer zerk fittings on it. I stumbled on the clear barrel for this...

    Thoughts On Milwaukee M18 Multi Tool?

    I appreciate the link. That price is battery, charger and some blades as well as the bag. I'm hoping maybe $150-175 tool alone. This has convinced me to wait, now that I know the M18 Fuel version really exists.

    Thoughts On Milwaukee M18 Multi Tool?

    Since my only upcoming project involves cutting copper tubing, and after reading in the post above yours about a possible 2nd gen FUEL version, I think I'll pass on this and wait on the 2nd gen. It looks like the FUEL M12 is a definite with nothing released about a FUEL M18. But I think it's...

    Thoughts On Milwaukee M18 Multi Tool?

    Are you referring to the Milwaukee version or just Multi Tools in general? What I'm reading seems to give the hands down top of the line award to Fein. But I'm just a hobby guy and the Fein is at least twice as much. It's corded and includes a case etc. But if the Milwaukee version is decent...

    Thoughts On Milwaukee M18 Multi Tool?

    I already have M18 batteries and chargers. So that's a sunk cost already.

    Thoughts On Milwaukee M18 Multi Tool?

    HomeDepot has these "special buy" at $99 regularly $129. I'd have an occasional need (once-twice a year) for cutting out drywall. I'd also be interested in using this to cut 1/2" copper pipe for an air compressor dryer project if it would be any good for that. Just curious if anyone else...

    30 Gallon Portable Vertical Compressor - Analysis Paralysis

    Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately I only have Tractor Supply and Menards in my area (beyond the standard Home Depot and Lowes). But more limiting is that this compressor is 220 and where I'm going to put this I don't have access to 220. The most I can do is 110.

    30 Gallon Portable Vertical Compressor - Analysis Paralysis

    Tarbellb: Thanks for that. See the other reply I just posted on this thread. I found an FS Curtis 30 gallon that I plan on getting. I really want a 60 gallon but right now I don't NEED a 60 gallon AND I have no way to get 220 to where I plan to put it. The cost is equivalent to the Quincy...

    30 Gallon Portable Vertical Compressor - Analysis Paralysis

    WinMod21 I'd be absolutely shocked if that farm and fleet DeWalt isn't the exact unit I've been looking at with the Masterforce sticker and black paint at Menards. However, I've called Sanborn (which makes them all) to get more information as I mentioned in an earlier post. Turns out this...

    30 Gallon Portable Vertical Compressor - Analysis Paralysis

    I called Sanborn today and got a little more information on the Menards unit. It is NOT an ASME tank (which I sort of suspected because the back tag on the tank - photo attached - was blank under the "Complies CAL OSHA" section and I know to comply with OSHA a tank has to be ASME certifies) but...

    30 Gallon Portable Vertical Compressor - Analysis Paralysis

    I'm looking to get a 20-30 gallon air compressor for my garage. I live on 5 acres, including a horse barn with a tractor in it about 200ft from the house. So something portable if I have a flat tractor tire would be very helpful. Space is at a premium in my garage so I needed it to be...

    Your "go-to" source for NEW tools?

    If I can't wait I go to Napa. If I can wait I go to Harry Epstein online and then drive the 30 minutes to their store in Kansas City to pick them up.

    Foam Tool Cabinet Top - Source?

    I tried to post links to photos but I've just found the group and it won't let me post links yet (until I reach 5 posts).

    Foam Tool Cabinet Top - Source?

    Just purchased a new 36" tool cabinet from Mendards. One of the display cabinets had a 1/2" foam top on it but it wasn't an item that comes with the cabinet or was available for purchase at Mendards. Does anyone know where I could get something like this?
