    What kind of air hose?

    Goodyear. I started a thread last month asking why my compressor wouldn't run my impact wrench. I finally figured out that not one, but two cheap Harbor Freight hoses were either defective or simply wouldn't flow enough air. I got a Goodyear, and everything works fine now.

    Air compressor drainer kits????

    I'm reviving this thread so I can give a review of the Harbor Freight automatic drain shown in the first post. Here's my review: it *****. I installed one a week ago, which involved tee'ing into the plastic line that runs between the tank and the pressure switch. The kit includes some really...

    Engine Hoist Recommendations

    I got the same hoist as brownbagg. It was on sale at the time, and I had a 20% coupon, so I got the hoist and an engine leveler out the door for $168. I didn't have any problem lifting a Jaguar V12 and transmission on the 1/2 ton setting. It also pulled an LT1 with transmission. I really...

    why won't my compressor run my ratcher?

    I'm updating this old thread because I finally solved my problem. Both the original hose, and another cheapo Harbor Freight hose failed to run my ratchet. So this weekend I bought a 25' Goodyear hose, and my ratchet runs just fine. I don't know what the problem is, but I can swap the two...

    Many tools for sale- What are you looking for?

    Do you have a Blue Point 9/16" combination wrench? The wrenches on both sides of the missing one are OEX-20 and OEX-16? I would like to fill in this hole.

    got this last night,

    When I read this post I got up off my couch and walked the 1/4 mile over to the super Walmart. Unfortunately, these wrenches are still $49 there (on sale from $59). I normally avoid Walmart (the only things I buy there are 9mm ammo and synthetic motor oil), but I already have one of these...

    Floor PAINT

    I painted my garage floor with Lowe's floor primer and gray paint three weeks ago. It's adequate. The floor was bare concrete about 25 years old, with a layer of dust that just would not come up. Any tool or part or clothes that touched the floor got white dust all over it. I was thinking...

    OBD scanner for laptop??

    I bought this guy's box five or six years ago: http://obddiagnostics.com/ I have lost count of how many friend's cars I have plugged it into, and how many people have borrowed it.
