    I have two PAASCHE, I got the first one 47 years ago. It still works. So, I bought a second Paasche, this time with a mini compressor and tank. I am confident that I can sell my Paasche for more than I paid.

    Rust in air compressor tank... how to prevent?

The tank is wrapped in fiber and resin and is certified to 4000 PSI. I doubt this tank is going to rust. I have owned the tank for 20 years. It is hiding under...

    Recommendations for ignition scope?

    That is true. I did not get up one morning and think, "I need to get a new hobby." It happened almost all on its own. I did keep 4 of the drill presses, a big lathe and a power hacksaw. My car is 85 years old. When the car sold new it was under a grand.

    Ratchet lubricant?

    I want you to verify what you posted. I guess this is not going to happen? Detergents are added to synthetic oils to help keep the engine clean by preventing the build-up of sludge and other deposits. A ratchet does not collect the products of combustion like an engine. The word detergent may...

    Bending Tubing - Need Advice

    I have that tube bender along with the complete set of Ridgid LAB tube benders. Your tube bender is fantastic. I formed the common rail tube for the injectors on my '40 Ford Flathead V8.

    Snap-on drive size question.

    This is an uncommon drive size. I got it for a dollar. I have owned it for 30 years. I never bothered to ask about it. I have thought of butchering the square drive off and TIG welding a 3/8" square drive on.

    When was this ratchet made?

    That ratchet is identical to the SK ratchet that was part of a tool set. My Dad bought this SK set in mid December, 1945. Dad was celebrating the birth of his son, or so I was told. I have the original ratchet and a few other SK ratchets.
