Need to send power to a shed. About 50ft run. Will either come off meter panel or be a subpanel off shop. shop is only 100 amp, #2 wire though, so looking into a 4 breaker meter panel. It has a 5hp and 3hp air compressor, 2 oil boilers (figure 10 amps each max, more like 5 running), 10 amp...

Right off the compressor tank, does it make sense to put a drip leg? Setup is 80 gallon compressor, feeding into a 60 gallon compressor, then feeding to an air dryer, and for now just a hose off the dryer for air. Eventually it'll be 3/4" line going underground to another building. Should I...

Maybe not "vintage"? It's 90s, early 2000s. A set screw fell out causing it to jump the rack a bit. Right now the jaws don't stay perpendicular either. Trying to decide if it's worth sourcing a tiny screw and resetting the rack or buy new. I have in mind they were fairly expensive when I...

Anyone have luck with their customer support? Their setup exploded on me over a week ago. I've tried calling and emailing 6-7+ times and still crickets. Was enough force it bruised my leg and the gun was probably a foot from me. Was up on a the back of a bucket truck greasing the boom luckily...

14 pc. .375" to 1.25" Ended up with 2 sets and only need 1. $200 shipped.. so about $12 each. Used and not "mint", so tool polishers, this isn't for you.

Only window facing my dooryard is in the man door, so the dog puts his front feet up against the sill/bottom of window to look out. The window is 1 piece but has plastic trim to make it look like 9 panes. Like this...

Aside from the crazy expensive Snap On Tech Angle, are there other contenders? 3/8", flex head, has torque angle. I got the Gearwrench 85078 and it's hot trash. Takes a good 10-15 seconds to reset after each torque. Imagine doing a trans pan with 25 bolts so an extra 5-6 MINUTES is added per...

Any good books for help with boiler plumbing? I understand the basics, but wanting good info on pump sizing, pipe sizing, best practices on component placing, etc. I have 2 diesel fired boilers I've converted to burn used oil that I'm setting up in a connex that will feed hot water to the...

Anything exist? I had to pull a valve body apart and man it made a mess on the bench. I know full on tear down benches exist, but how about maybe a 2-3ft wide "tray" that could simply set on an existing bench? Just needs a slight pitch and a drain catch. Yes I know I could make something...

Trying to source a funnel that can hold 3-4 quarts and has a decent screen... maybe 100 mesh or so. Needs to be able to flow oil, like gear oil, hydraulic, etc. I've found small ones and used paint filters. They only hold a cup or two. The oil I have to "filter" is in gallon jugs so would be...

Want to setup 2 compressors. 80 gallon main compressor and a 60 gallon "auxiliary". Main unit 150/175 on/off, aux 135/150. The idea being using the main compressor 99% of the time and the aux if the main can't keep up. I had planned to tie into the aux from a second fitting, so the tank acts...

I have a Graco X5 and while it's fine for painting a large job, like a house, it wastes a tremendous amount on smaller jobs. And a big job to clean. Example last year I painted a 1000 gallon tank using it. Took 2 GALLONS and barely had enough for 2 coats. And it zebra striped and dry coated...

I'm terrible at picking this stuff. I'd just assume to use black, white or machine grey on everything and that'd be just fine. 🤣 People door needs paint, it's the factory primer and it's getting rough. Supposed to be nice weather the next few days so figured I'd try to knock it out, as next...

Mounted in pic, didn't think about the "cantilevered" weight causing a fair bit of shake. Probably shakes +- 1/8" when it's running. Not sure if these things are robust to the point that's not an issue? When I got the compressor it was "mounted" to the back of the motor with 1 nut and some...

Used to just empty my toolbox, but wanting to buy stuff to leave. It's a pain, takes too much time plus rather not bring my good tools out in the mud where they may end up lost or sacrificed. (Have welded tools together to get home) Mostly Metric being it's a Merc. Edit.. Not sure why, but it...

Need a 120v T Stat for a hydronic unit heater. Water flows 24x7, t stat just turns fan on/off. Got a Honeywell RLV3120 but it's not right, fan barely spins. Come to find out in the manual it says it's not usable for a fan, just for a resistive load. I think the RLV3150 will work?? Talked...

Got this unit at DRMO auction for about $100. No idea what they did but it works fine. Missing the pulley cover, but I usually leave those open anyhow. Debating if I should do a new base out of some angle iron or? Anyhow have a measurement in length? It's about 13" wide Have some 2.5"...

Ideas on CFM? 5hp motor, 1750rpm. The model is the dented in numbers I think. No lights or power in the building anymore. Was a welding shop/hobby work, guy aged out, ended up in a home and passed. Looks like late 90s, early 2000s was the last anyone had been in there. Found a ton of oil...

Picked up that allegedly 550 ft/lbs 3/8 Milwaukee on the Black's Friday sale. Been using chrome sockets for near 30 years without fuss, but guessing this may be pushing it. Gear wrench has one for $65 GEARWRENCH 44 Pc. 3/8" Drive 6 Point Standard & Deep Impact SAE/Metric Socket Set - 84916N...

There a good place to find info? I got this small bench the other day with a Wiltson vise that needs tore open and cleaned up, greased, bearings? No idea what version it is or age.
