Think of it as a big adjustable wrench/crescent wrench . Trailer hitch ball nut would be easy with that. I have a small rigid wrench like that for unions, water heater flex lines, valves, drain nuts, and anything else with flats on it. It might be a 10" size. Doing building maintenance and...

I have replied to comments on youtube with technical information typed just from memory and people accused me of being AI. There are so many dumb people that they are not used to real people who know how things actually work, who can type out good responses and counter points. Of course, if it...

Before I rebuilt my garage, that old 5hp baldor worked great on a 30 amp breaker. Newer 5hp motors have a lower amperage listed on the nameplate than mine. Yes, 169 amps was fine for 1 second on a 30a breaker. I used to run my tig welder on a 50 amp breaker and I could weld a little while...

Why would he need a 300 amp panel? That makes no sense at all for an air compressor that will only occasionally cycle. My air compressor pulls 169 amps or so at start up, or at least that is what flashes on my clamp on meter. It is on a 50 amp breaker and is a baldor 5hp 213 frame motor listed...

The eastwood gun *****, especially in Faraday areas....inside corners. I ended up importing a clone of a name brand gun, from china, that is all digitally controlled. Amperage and voltage can be adjusted separately and the different types of air feed are set digitally as well. It is a kfx2 or...

My 6.5" left blade m18 circular saw with a diablo blade beats all of those options. In a few seconds I can cut 1/4" x 6" steel flat stock from a long stick or structural aluminum shapes. Recently, I made some brackets from that aluminum and it was easier to cut a chunk off the 24' stick and...

Yes, 5hp is 17 cfm and 7.5hp is around 23 cfm. Many common pumps will run 3 different size motors. Lower hp will be setup for lower rpm and that makes them much quieter. You just have to find out what the minimum rpm is for lubrication. 17cfm at 175psi is the perfect size for a home or small...

I used to do the same with a corded saw, but in 2005 got the v28 set with the left blade and no longer had to worry about a guide or other saw. It was especially good because I did many trades and never knew which would be needed at each job site, so I kept my truck setup with tools for all of...

The blade is on the wrong side for a right hand person....screw that! With my 6.5" left blade milwaukee saw, I can snap a chalk line and cut an 8 foot sheet within a 1/16 of the line normally.....free hand. Cutting 2x lumber is also easy. I was cutting and installing blocking inside an attic...

I haven't received the orange loctite either and had forgotten about it until I moved my bottle of blue loctite the other day.

The last post is very similar to mine. real 213t 5hp baldor motor, 17.7 cfm @175psi pump run probably slightly faster than the rated 800 rpm, calculates out to 20 cfm average based on fill time of 5.5 minutes on an 80 gallon tank to 170 psi and a 1 minute cycle time from 135 to 170 psi. Most of...

After decades of painting and many thousands of gallons, this isn't true. There certainly is overspray that will get onto things nearby. When it is hot the overspray can turn to powder before it sticks on things around a house and neighborhood. In cold weather it floats, wet, in the wind...

That sheet of glass runs $23 at the home depot where I am at and it isn't tempered, although I have never broken the glass in my cabinet. After seeing the Tacoma quick change, I drilled out the holes for my stock glass ring to just over 1/4" and installed allen screws with nuts inside, then...

The graco contractor guns are two finger and the SG3 is 4 finger. I sprayed thousands of gallons with the contractor gun but found I like the 4 finger gun better. There is less spring pressure on the SG3 and you have more fingers to do the work. Are the walls going to be the same color as the...

Did you remove the tube off the pump and verify there is air coming out of it? You can turn it by hand and put your finger over the end, maybe do it while running. Mine has a check valve at the top of the tank, so you could check that out. The intake and exhaust valves are right on top under...

https://felotoolsusa.com/collections/screw-drivers/products/fo53693 There was a deal on a group buy for Felo tools on this forum, years ago, so I bought a bunch of screwdrivers for my Dad, brother, and I. I love the grip and quality of these and am a construction pro and am very picky about the...

I have my grandfather's old Cman box that looks almost the same as yours. It had old nasty carpet inside the red tray that goes in the top and it was also full of dirt grease and was falling apart. I have no idea if boxes came that way or if he did it himself. His box will eventually get...

My 5hp baldor (213t 1-3/8" shaft 109 lbs weight) motor is 28.5 amps, at 208-230v, on the name plate, then add in the 1.15 service factor. It only lists one amperage for the voltage range. Motors have become more efficient over the years and the newer ones pull less current. Last I checked, it...

x2 on knowing what kind of work you do. Is that style sander even the best choice for your work? I built myself a 3hp 3ph 2x72 belt grinder that I run between 500 and 8,000 surface feet per minute. A 24 grit ceramic belt at 7,000 sfm grinds steel like it is pine. With a 240 grit belt at 1,000...

My old 5hp Baldor 213t 1-3/8" shaft motor has a nameplate of something like 28.5 amps. The new 184t 5hp baldors are around 24 amps. Both at 17xx rpm and 1.15 service factor. x2 on the over rated HP numbers being a joke.
