    scavenging while buying pool chlorine

    I suspect you could check out the compressor and tank in short order by dropping the belt and running an electric drill/socket on the pulley bolt for 30 seconds for so. Either it builds pressure or not.

    Cordless Tool Voltage

    What benefits/drawbacks are there to lower voltage (say, 12v) versus higher voltage (say, 18v-19v) cordless tools? I'd like to get several cordless tools (drill, impact driver, circular saw, recip saw, etc.) but I don;t know what to look for in regards to power, battery life, etc. Is one...
