    Anybody Use Headlamps?

    What I mean by illegal ski trails is the short cuts between the main runs at skii hills ( like a brush trail). At night these trails are not lit up, therefore they are closed. Skiing them is considered illegal, but everybody does it anyways. Headlamps were popular last year for the kids who ski...

    What's the proper way to store an air compressor?

    OK, i have a 2hp 8gallon oiled compressor. I don't use it every day, so I drain the air then leave the drain valve open. Is this the proper way to store it? Could leaving the drain valve open cause the humidity in the air to condence on the tank surface? Where I live, the temp goes below 0 at...

    2nd air tank in system ?

    If I had this setup, I would put a inline air filter / water separator on the input of the 60gal, and add another ball valve on the output along with its own pressure regulator and filter / separator. The main reason for this is that because the tank is at the end of the line, all of the...

    Another Compressor Check Valve Problem

    I Think it might just be some packing material, or thread locker? Anyways, it was an easy fix, so I'm happy now.

    Another Compressor Check Valve Problem

    So I decided to try and open the side cap on the check valve, and found that the check valve was stuck open by what looks like a piece of a sucker! Or it might be some sealant? Anyways, i cleaned it out, and now the compressor is back to 100% .

    Another Compressor Check Valve Problem

    So I was going to top up my cars tires today, so I turned on the air compressor. It built up pressure to 125 psi quick as usual, but the relief valve keeps blowing off air after the compressor stopped. Googled around, and found that I most likely have a faulty / dirty check valve. What bugs me...

    !! Gold Ratchets !!

    I dont think its gold, as gold does not discolor unless exposed to extreme acids. Doing some googling, chrome plating can discolor from atmospheric contaminants causing a goldish brown tinge.
