The compressors listed both use 3,450 RPM motors. The Quincy V-pump spins at 1,300 RPM. For a $500 savings you could consider the HF 5HP 2 stage: https://www.harborfreight.com/5-hp-60-gallon-165-psi-two-stage-air-compressor-93274.html as long as the pump looks like the one in the picture...

I have two 5HP compressors that are set to start up 5 PSI differential from one another. They are both set to shut off at about the same time. I have them on 2 separate magnetic starters and on two different circuits. This setup works well for my high air demand tools that are used for...

This is a good summary. The pump turns at 734 RPM whereas the big box store units are typically running over 1000+ RPM. As a practical example, both my neighbor and I had the Husky 3.x HP 60 gallon air compressors. Our garages were over 100 feet away and we both knew when we were running our...

They are Champion R-30's. They run slow at 7.5 HP, normal at 10 HP, and fast at 15 HP.

Zoro or Amazon are popular online sources. If you want warranty, you need to buy Grey Pnuematic from an authorized dealer. I think Tooltopia may be the only online dealer who is authorized. Sunex doesn't cover wear under warranty but will warranty breakage. Any of the tool truck brands will...

There is another article from 2014 that discusses how Milwaukee went after about 8 different tool companies for using Li-Ion batteries. This is not specific to Snap On but rather just the latest news on something Milwaukee has been doing for years. Apparently they considered the use of Li-Ion...

I just put a swivel in the tool. I don't care for hose whips because they take up too much room in the tool box. But mostly I use cordless ratchets.

At least through 2001, the ball joints are SAE thread. If your working on a TJ its probably the same through 2006 as the axles were largely unchanged. 1-1/8" lower and 7/8" upper. Yes 28mm will fit tighter, but it's SAE thread. Just about everything in the axles is SAE. Notable exceptions...

I think the comments by Eastwood were accurate. The welders were not re-branded. They are exclusive to Eastwood. They never claimed to be made in the U.S.A. I do not have an Eastwood welder & have no plans to buy their air compressor. I already have a welder and air compressor setup that I...

What's the part number of these Matco ones? The GG45 I have leaks from every orifice, the coupler was so stuck to grease zerks it pulled them of what they were threaded into, and it leaks from every orifice it has. West Germany hasn't existed for years. I wonder if the folks getting these ones...

So basically this is a quiet version of the Home Depot/Lowe's 3HP 60 gallon air compressor with a much higher price.

He can buy a 3.x HP compressor for a couple hundred bucks and sell it for a couple hundred bucks. I don't think Husky or Lowe's really matter at that point. A red tank probably has a higher resale value over black though.

The biggest problem with these consumer horizontal tanks is that the tanks rust out and develop pinhole leaks. I have seen good ones and bad ones. And old tank is not necessarily a bad tank if it was properly maintained during its life. It's cheaper to condemn and old tank, cut a hole in it...

My Champions typically run upwards of 300F on the head. Not uncommon for the discharge tube to be around 270F. My Jenny/Emglo's were pretty much the same. Both have 80% duty cycles.

Yup, I had a Husky 3.x HP 60 gallon single stage and never cared for it. By the time you put a swivel on your air ratchet and the compressor kicks on at 90 PSI you are running like 50 PSI at the tool and it won't remove what it did when the compressor tank was at 135 PSI. Been there, done...

Depending on what you're working on you do need 12 point. The Jeeps I work one have several 12 points, and some aftermarket parts come with 12 point fasteners. I have a cheap set of Craftsman 12 points that cover all sizes, and for sizes I use more, I get something better. I have a 13mm 12...

They probably forgot to put the packing list in the first box. :bounce::bounce::bounce: But that's really funny anyway.

Zoro is pretty proud of their deal with UPS too. Customer service has joked about it on the phone, the UPS drivers have joked about it, ...

The accessory package works great too. This magnet is pretty small for how good it works.

Well its been a year and I finally got some better meters than my old Craftsman. I bought a Snap On Vantage Pro for automotive use and a Fluke 87V for all around use. They read within .03VDC of each other. :) The last straw for the Craftsman was it reading 10.8V on a battery with the car off...
