    Straightening PEX

    Is there any fast(er) way to straighten this stuff ? I've got a few 100' rolls (3/4 and 1/2") and it's bad enough wrestling with it beforehand, cutting to length, but also would like the pieces fairly straight before dragging them into the crawl space.

    Shop computers, do you have one ? Or more than one ? If so, what uses do you find for it, and what kind do you recommend. I was investigating various PC setups, and find no major advantage to an iphone with G3. Which is not to say I would dismiss a shop PC as a useful addition to the shop...

    Parts washers, tell me about them please

    What do you use for parts washers ? Are the Horror Freight specials worth the $99 ? What do you recommend for pump, solvent, size, etc ? Are the pumps that come with the units good, or better to toss and get a Little Giant ? Do any of you use two, as in bulk removal of sludge followed by a...
