Finally, I upgraded my compressor from a 30gal 120v to a 60gal 230v. When we had the house built, I paid extra for a 240v circuit to be installed. They installed the circuit but didn't wire in and install a 30A recepticle because they didn't know how the compressor was to be wired without...

Need advice on installing hardlines inside my garage. My compressor will be install on one side of the garage. I'll be running a hardline inside the wall and ceiling to the other side of the garage where my work area will be. Originally, I was thinking 3/4" pex as it's a 50ft run just to...

Having the new house wired up. I'm trying to figure out if I'm good with my current 30gal 120v compressor or going with a 240v 60 gal beast. 70% of my use is a using a blow gun and tire chuck. The other 30% is using a 3/8" air ratchet, air chisel and IR231 impact. Think I'm good with what I...

I'm about to retire and have more time for living and playing. I have USA craftsman Ratchets, Sockets, Ratcheting Wrenches that I bought when I was younger. I'm thinking about polishing them and putting them away for my grandkids some day. I use them now, but I'm afraid to USE them because a...

How much is this table saw worth? I'm just debating on if I should sell it or keep it and take it with me when I move cross country on a few years.

I need to replace the power steering lines in my boat that go from the power steering pump to the steering actuator. The lines came from the factory with stainless steel one ear crimp rings. I'd like to redo with the same. I just hate standard hose clamps. Please recommend a readily...

Looking for a basic socket set that can be carried between the RV and boat and used for light repairs such as water pumps, alternators, etc. I had a Pittburg "pro" set that was fairly decent, comfortable to work with and got done everything I needed it to do. This is the set I'm looking at now...

I already have a set of Williams and Tekton that I use as my primary goto drivers in my box. I'm thinking maybe have a set for tinkering with toys, appliances and small projects on my work bench so I don't have to run back and forth to my box. Is this a decent set or basically junk...

My dad gave me these ratchets as he is too old to use them anymore. I took them apart, cleaned them with brake cleaner and sparingly greased them with Lucas marine grease. They were so gummed up from not being used that the drive wouldn't even spin. They are better now but still very clunky...

Just looking for a hobby grade set of ratchets with flex heads. I ran across Eastwood tools. They seem to be on par with Pittsburg pro as far as looks go. Of course the harbor freight tools would be an easier exchange for broken tools. Eastwood requires shipping the tool and a copy of your...

I'm looking to learn how to sew canvas and vinyl for upholstery work. Industrial machines can go for a lot. I don't want to spend lots of money to get into something I might not like doing. Can anyone tell me about this machine? The guy wants 25 bucks for it and says it has a burnt wire on...

Looking for a set of long reach diagonal cutters that won't break the bank but aren't junk either. My box is filled with Klien, usa craftsman, channellock and a few assortments of Japanese brand pliers. I recently ran into a job were I needed extra reach to cut away some wires so I figure I...

I've been replying on long reach needle nose pliers for far too long. I'm looking for a set of hose clamp pliers that will remove the eared pinch on type of clamps. I'd like a big set that includes the cable type for tight locations. There are many for sale on Ebay for about 50 bucks, but I'm...

Sorry. It's a double edged sword. Either I hijack someone else's thread and piss people off, or I start a new thread and still piss people off. Anyway, I checked out the new Icon tool line up today in person. I'm not impressed. This is what they took so long to release like it was the end...

I was going through the electrical isle at home depot yesterday and stopped to look that the beautiful selection of klein tools. I noticed they have a set of ratcheting crimpers for 25 bucks. Unfortunately, they are not USA made, but they look to be well made. Anyone use these? I've been...

I see so many posts online and on social media where people are selling tools that are just a rusted mess. Why? I don't get it. How hard is it to have a half way decent storage chest, use your tools, wipe them off and put them away for next time? I'm a highly disorganized person, but you...
