As stated above, they are for lock rings as used in manual transmissions - I had to buy a pair when I rebuilt a Saginaw 4-speed box that was in my neighbor's 1979 442 (which was a sad excuse for a muscle car, made during peak malaise era). These type of lock rings have flat ends on them, just...

After the rubber feet, just strap it to the wall at the same level as the base plate on top and call it a day.

That's not a bad idea - maybe somebody could start a stickied thread in the for/sale/trade forum (which I have never used yet and try not to look at).

Having the second tank very close to the tire machines should solve this problem. Make sure to plumb it for an easily-operated drain valve as it will collect water.

No, my conclusion is that like most non-fusion welding methods, SURFACE PREP is key. As one poster stated above, if you have clean bare metal strands that you applied flux to before using one, and provide sufficient heat, it will probably be fine. But corroded and/or dirty copper won't solder...

My goodwill sells plastic bags of random tools. Some old codger passes away and the entire garage gets donated. Then somebody in the back of the Goodwill randomly takes sockets and screwdrivers and other misc. hex keys and throws them into plastic bags marked $5.99 to $15.99 each, breaking up...

Also, don't run your acetylene pressure too low. I got my first welding setup when I was 15 years old. The instructions said to set the acetylene pressure to the tip size (so 2 psi for a #2 tip). That is too low and will cause your torch to pop a lot. Try 6-8psi instead. A popping torch...

I've only had Ryovi 18V for almost the past 20 years. Switched to the lithium batteries over the past few years and they can sit for a year and not lose charge, which is perfect for my use pattern. When I'm busy with projects I'll use them daily, but over the winter I can go 6 months without...

Well, if you are using the compressor on a continuous basis, this is exactly what you want to do anyways. The motor windings get very hot every time it starts up, and most motors are only rated for so many starts per hour.

Stihl 024AV Super for $30 with an 18" bar - runs but is hard to start, for those who don't want to click on the link - hell, that is worth it for the air cleaner alone (which apparently is unobtanium for 024s). I have this same saw and I love it. Great power-to-weight ratio for most jobs and...
