I got in the habit of wiping down a 40 yr old airplane with 409. This machine had an almost flawless finish - untill I pulled it out of the hanger after winter storage - and saw the beginnings of corrosion encircling numerous rivets in the wings. Granted, it was aluminum, but if it eats aluminum...

HA! sucked me right in, too. Hook, line & sinker.

I see. I knew there was something I couldn't do without, I just didn't know what it was.

Awright, I'll put on my ignoramus hat and ask the question: What does one do with a socket cap?

There are a few things I don't even shop new. Just head straight to the peddler's (flea) market and buy a real one. Oilers are in that category.

:headscratWhat the h3ll is a "viable ligament reason"???:headscrat:

Because...because... ... ... umm, because... ...Because titanium is 43% lighter than steel, enabling me to push a 56" roller around much easier as I get old and feeble! Yeah, that's the ticket...

Thanks for that post - it's just the kind of trivia I like to irritate my co-workers with (long story). Back around 15 years ago I remember being routed through the Lansing, MI airport on a work related trip. In the terminal they had a small display of local business / industry, and in...

I'm gonna hang out by the hospital tomorrow - see if I can catch their tool truck.

Always thought it would be cool to have a titanium adjustable wrench in the box, but at $400plus :eek: I'll have to pass - maybe settle for the slip-joint pliers at $339... Apologies if y'all seen this already(i did try a search!). I haven't been around here too long... http://tinyurl.com/ca5mod

I'm planning something similar with a small lean-to addition. I'll put a disconnect in the compressor room, and it seems to me the electrical code (which I don't have with me here at work) requires space between the equipment and the wall with room enough to get in there to work on it. I was...

What is a Slogging wrench? Do I need them? http://www.bloomertool.com/BoxEndSluggingWrenches.html

One big door. You might one day decide to build an airplane.

The Milton literature I have advises only petroleum be used with poly. No synthetic oils, phosphate esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons...

Rick, I'm in Oldham County in Pewee Valley. The rest of you may kindly stifle your snickering...

Thanks for the input. Any concerns about pressurizing the whole copper line system to 175psi (regulators at the drops)?

Just obtained a used Ingersoll Rand compressor: Type 30-242, 5hp - 175psi - 16cfm@90, ASME tank. Now I'm reading up on the usual air system stuff like copper vs black pipe, etc. Can I get a run down on the relative quality (pecking order?) of components such as regulators, filters, lubricators...
