    Time to get an air compressor....looking for some info.

    It's time to upgrade my small little 5gal pancake compressor to something that I can actually use to run air tools. My budget is $500.....and I'm trying to figure out what the best compressor is in my price range. My biggest use is going to be running air tools like a 1/2" impact wrench, and...

    Installed T8s, now I need help with bulbs

    Wow..that looks great. I'm actually trying to like my 30x40 shop (similar to yours), and all of the formulas that I'm seeing are showing I need something like 80+ T8 bulbs to light my shop. I'm surprised you were able to light your entire shop with only 22 bulbs. Those big fixtures you have...
