    Newbie Tool Kit for a 16-year old?

    I never got any tool sets growing up, what I have I bought myself. My parents weren't the giving type. FWIW I dont think i'd give my son any CMAN tools since there warrantee and Customer service **** balls, I'd be more inclined to get him a decent sized set from Canadian tire when I think it's...

    Compressor. Help plz!!!!!!!!!

    It's a good option as well. The last place I worked for rented compressors like you see above and larger (all the way to 3000CFM) and blast pots for large jobs, we also had the abrasives too. that may be some food for thought

    Compressor. Help plz!!!!!!!!!

    look at the air requirements of your blaster and go from there, try and get something that will be big enough to run all the things you want and add a little to it. Sandblasters are CFM hungry units. Like the others said running a filter is a good idea and that compressor may be tired. Also how...

    Lending Tools...

    Why would someone need to borrow a work light in the first place, they are cheap enough the person needing one can buy one at any hardware store, not to sound like a ***** but seriously a work light isn't expensive at all. Also I don't lend my tools and the answer is flat out no.

    What do you use to clean your box?

    Last place I worked for was a dump, tools and stuff all over the place air hoses dragging on the floor. I swear we went through about 600 feet of it a year since idiots in the shop would drive bulldozers over it. Sweeping was done about once a month (you could take a 930 loader and fill the...

    What do you use to clean your box?

    I usually go with simple green and a rag and wipe my boxes down. I make sure to clean all the tools I used that day and put them back in my chest in order for the next day, it's a very easy way to spot if your missing something. I am allergic to dust so I try and keep it to a minimum. I wear a...
