Did you pressure test your Diakin Line set and indoor unit to 625 psi? That sounds like the max design pressure. In my jurisdiction(bc, Canada) we are required to do tests of 2hrs of the saturated pressure of 125*f on the high side Which for 410 is somewhere below 500psi. In general testing at...

If you move your set around a lot get a pelican case. A 1040 or 1060 will have room for drive tools, shallow and bit sockets in metric and imperial plus torx bit sockets

I have a 3/8 drive proto set in a similar case. The case is well made and durable. Not as compact as a metal box. But a improvement over the previous generation blow molded. When open the lid makes a convenient tray to hold fasteners as it has a raised edge. Send me a pm with your email. I’ll...

Kinda confused how it can be very remote and still have electricity? It’s going to take the same amount of btus to heat the place up from ambient temperature to 70* no matter which way you decide. Sounds like it’s a hunting cabin. In that case. Install a small supplement heater in gas or...

Bring your hvac system to my well stocked shop and I’d repair to similar to a tire shop pricing model. The fields are very different and barely comparable. I used to residential hvac repair and service. It was tough as a tech to get paid 8 hours a day racing from house to house dealing with...

Just tried out one of those m18 chainsaws. It was hard to get a real bearing on its performance because it had safety chain on it. From Milwaukee’s presepective safety chain makes sense. But if you are competent with a chainsaw I would throw the safety chain away. Will not replace something like...

If you are patient you can use a bathroom scale. The downside is they don’t count down. You have to constantly lift the bottle and re weight it as you charge

The plant I work at is on the Pacific Ocean, we have two wharfs. Anything bare metal like those snapon pliers are going to need constant yet quick maintenance. Weekly to monthly. Take your tools to a wire wheel on your pedestal grinder. To clean off the rust. Then apply a light coat of oil. I...

Does the compressor specs actually say they will supply the air you list? Most compressors are telling you the suction cfm (@14.7 PSIA) and the out put pressure in PSIG. Do a little math P1xV1=P2xV2

No. Haven’t bothered to wire it up in the new garage. It’s going back to my dads. A small compressor will replace it for filling tires and brad nailers. No need for a 50 gallon compressor for just those jobs. Unless I need to sandblast something I’ll never own more than a 2 gallon compressor again.

Hang the box end on the outside of your tool box. Two plates bolted to the outside of the box with a hole in them for a dowel to slide through. Weld a stopper on one end. Use a lock to secure the other end.

Never cared what brand oil went in my pump. They all get a tight system down to 500 microns.

I’m looking for a used jigsaw. No super old all metal body tools please. Must be willing to ship to Canada.

Most of the things I work on aren’t torque critical. So I tighten them to snug with a impact. The sound of the impact changes when things are snug. The ones that are torque critical I might use a impact to run the nut down. But then use a ratchet to tighten or better a torque wrench when I have...

Twist them in with long needle nose pliers

I’m looking the metal box for a snapon 210fsp and another metal box for a 3/8 socket set that I’m assembling. Thanks Peter

Made for aircraft mechanics. Very hard for the wind to tip that over

Snap on used to sell a little metal box that tray fit into, they may still. The part number is kra229

Im assuming you’re looking for a headlamp for work. I’ve had good luck with black diamond headlamps but I’ve only ever looked in the double and triple a battery range. For almost two years I used a petzl vairo rechargeable pack unit. It worked very well the setting were quick and easy to use...

I’d happily use Allen, torx, etorx, xzn or whatever else they want to try. But for fcuks sakes cut out half the sizes. Get rid of all of the odd number torxs. A t25 and a t27. If a t20 fastener won’t work go up to a t30. Robertson has 4 sizes that will cover 90% of your screwing needs below1/4”...
