    Cleaning corrosion from the inside of an IR 231 impact wrench

    Take some light sandpaper and clean it off of there. Clean the cylinder too as that's where it came from. The cylinders fit in there crazy tight as it is. Rust only makes it tougher to get them back together. It will be fine. ALWAYS put the cylinder against the rear motor plate ( insert the...

    Foundation costs

    Sounds like a rip off to me. The foundation for our one-level 2829 sq. ft. house and 1020 sq. ft. shop was $29,000.00 Floor for the shop and 3-car garage was I think $7000 for both.

    International shipping tips

    USPS flat rate priority mail boxes and padded envelopes are the cheapest I know of. Boxes are limited to 20 lbs. and envelopes are limited to 4 lbs. for international shipments though. Envelope is around 32 dollars, medium box is around 63 and I don't remember the large box, but I think around 70.

    Husky 9 drawer $199 or US General 13 drawer $349

    Compare them side by side and I doubt you'd still say that. Not saying it's bad or a bad deal, however the US General is very well made, very sturdy, holds up very well to being crammed full, rolled on rough surfaces etc. Ask me how I know.
