    Preserving life of POR, Rust Encapsulator etc

    I use master series silver and put a plastic bag between the threaded cap and then put the container in another plastic zip lock bag. When I open it I pour a small amount of reducer in and stir and it’s good.

    Husky 30 Gallon air compressor

    Don’t waste your money on that garbage. Save a little more and for about 400.00 you can buy a new 60 gallon oil filled sanborn from menards. I bought one of the HD’s like that and used it regularly in my garage and it lasted about a year before the motor went.

    Ryobi 18v cordless quality?

    I just got the 1/2” impact. I haven’t used it yet but I got a brand new in the box with battery and charger for a price I couldn’t pass up on. I have a 60 gallon compressor at home too but I got this for quick fixes and to take on the road if I needed to. The only issue I have so far is when...

    Wheel hubs/Tone Rings puller

    I think that the hub and tone ring may be cast into 1 piece. If it’s not try heating the tone ring and see if it comes off.

    How is this tool not better know by every one???

    I have had the same one and use it regularly for the last 20+ years. It is really worth the couple bucks it costs.

    Determining bent valves

    The only real way of knowing is to take the head off and send it out. You can’t do a compression or leakdown test unless you repair the chain and put it all back together and in synch.

    Harbor Freight 18" Side Locker Door Fix

    I just got one and it stays shut with a magnet. My problem is it leans out and I have to have a small spacer between my cabinet and the locker to make it level. I need to drill holes in the side too so I can bolt it to my box because I don't want to rely on just the lip and a couple of crappy...

    Buying first welder, need advice

    If you're not in a hurry keep saving and look on Craigslist. I bought a Lincoln MP 210 for 500.00 from a guy on CL. Sometimes it's worth the wait.

    HF 18" side cabinet price increase -now $219.99

    The side locker went up in price also. I'm guessing since they seem to be popular the company figures they can raise the price 50.00 and make a bigger profit.

I am restoring a vw bug and I have used master series silver with great success. 2 costs of master series brushed on, filler, 2 coats of master series sprayed on, hi build primer and then paint. The master series seals...

    Stuck drum brake: how to release?

    Just cut the drum off. You said you already hammer in the pins on the shoes. And the brake shoes are probably junk anyway if the drum is stuck. Since you might be selling it out the extra couple of bucks into the rear brakes and you will make it back when the car moves. There are some areas to...

    1/4 impact universals

    Wasamatta I have MAC chrome swivels and snap on impacts. I do occasionally use the chromes because they do serve a purpose. They just don't perform as well as the impacts do.

    1/4 impact universals

    I use them. I have both the impact and chrome and honestly the chromes kind of ****. The impacts work well with impacts or hand tools.
