I always have my Leatherman Wingman at my side clipped to my belt. I also have a orginal Leatherman that my DAD gave me, it is in it's orginal box and it never gets used. Well maybe to change batteries in the remote. BUD

Check out Water Cannon.com, I got my washer from them years ago and going strong. I will purchase from them again, had no issues. BUD

Got mine a couple of years ago, use it for everything and have not broken it yet. Co-worker loves it. Can't beat a Leatherman, I have 2, one for work and one my DAD gave me and that one is not to be used, still in the box. BUD

Red Wings for me. I have been wearing the same style for ten years, no issues BUD

I have used a flip shield all my life, over 40 years and i was very afraid to try an auto darkening shield. My daughter gave me one from Harbor Freight it took me a while to even take it out the box. When I finally did try it, it was great. I am always working by myself and it works great when...

The HF compressor is really spinning, 1368 is fast for an air compressor. I would look for a 2 stage, cast iron pump with an 80 gallon tank. I do the same things you are planning on doing. I have an Atlas 2 stage V twin compressor, 5 HP 220 volt motor with an 80 gallon tank, check valve in the...

Dennis, YES I DO KNOW HOW TO USE A TAP AND DIE SET. I restore hit and miss engines and tractors. I usually don't restore anything unless it is at least 1930 or older. Most of the time I have to make my own parts because there are no parts available. I have a lathe and mill and know how to...

Looking for a good tap and die set in metric. Harbor Freight sets are unusable, have a set and can't tap M8 X 1.25 is a piece of brass bar stock. BUD

I use my compressor 4 or 5 times a month, bead blasting, air up tires. I used to change the oil once a year. I have now switched over to AMSOL for 4 years, the oil is clear and easy to see a color change. I have about 100 hours on AMSOL and oil looks great. I try and drain my 80 gallon tank at...

Done, hopefully I will win.

OK, I have been away for several days. The unit is a 2 speed compressor and a variable speed inside fan motor. I need to find out about the humidity control. Down south, most the time in July, August, and September it will be 90% humidity with temps in the 95-100F outside. I am still looking...

If they use the old liguid/suction tubing, it will be cleaned and flushed. The warrant is a 10 year from Bryant, a 1 year Ultimate Test Drive (if you are not satisfied, they will remove and install something else), and a 5 year labor to repair any issues. New plenum chamber, therostat, and I...

I am changing out my A/C, natural gas heating unit in my home and I am asking if the pricing is in the ball park. SPECs are 16 sear Bryant, 5 ton, variable speed, 410A refrigant, Condenser model 127ANA060, Furnice model 315AAZ066, evap coil CNPVT60. They are using the same liquid and suction...

Our club had a foot/hand crank powered table saw, with a big heavy cast iron flywheel. Patton date was 1878. Once you got it up to speed and kept it there, you could do just about anything you can do with an electric table saw today. If you were cross cutting small stock, you could peddle it...

Gravely L8, best tractor you could buy, many attachments. That cylinder is at least 45 years old and will probably go on another tractor and last another 45 years. Glad it went to another collector/restorer. BUD

Schedule 40 PVC in the shop, several drops, for over 34 years. My 5 HP compressor is set at 175PSI into the shop with 1/2" copper tubing with Swedgelock fittings to a filter/regulator set at 100 PSI to the header with all the drops. The drops ends have a galvanized 90's that are strapped to the...

Agree with bochnak, it is a Puma compressor. Looking at the pictures, the motor pulley is really big, almost as big as the compressor pulley, which means the pump will be turning fast. They tell you the motor RPM, but not the compressor RPM. It does have a lot of bells and whistles. BUD

Good save. Kellog is a good compressor, head valves are rebuildable, slingger ring lubrication, good cast iron crankcase and cylinders. I have rebuilt a couple of these units many years ago. Be sure you match the RPM on the motor you get with the 3 phase that is on the compressor now. BUD

I have had my Craftsmans 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive set for 40 years and can't beat them. Their screw drivers were junk 40 years ago and are still junk today. I also have HF impact sockets in 3/8" and 1/2" drive that I bought about 30 years ago, no problem. Older tool sets in good condition are...

I generally don't use a Cresent wrench or adjustable wrench. I have had them slip to many times causing busted knuckles. I have a complete set from 4" to (I think it is a 14") 14" hanging on my wall, all are chrome, and from many different companies. I also have sets of combination wrenches on...
