    I need a decent inexpensive snap ring plier set.

    I have needed a good set of snap ring pliers for years but the good name brands seem expensive. Has anyone found a decent set that is inexpensive.

    Looking for a Spark Plug rethread kit for 2006 5.4 Triton

    The threads got screwed because the first tool we rented from the parts house had lots of wear on it but we figured it would work fine and it did on the first hole but not the second. The second tool he bought new and it worked like a charm. After comparing the tools you could really see how...

    Looking for a Spark Plug rethread kit for 2006 5.4 Triton

    My neighbor has a 2006 F-150 that wanted help changing his plugs. I informed him of the problem with the plugs breaking off in the head but he was willing to give it a go. We broke 3 out of 8. We found a O'Reilly auto parts that would loan us the Lisle Extractor tool. The tool had a lot of wear...

    New Puma Air Compressor

    It is a USA flag sticker but does not say Made in the USA on it. I think they stick that on there to make you think it is made in the USA when it is only assembled in the USA. Below is a breakdown of where the main parts are made. Where the compressor was made was a factor for me as I always...

    Craftsman compressor pump and shroud for parts

    I have a craftsman air compressor model number 919.156651 that quit and I am selling it for parts. The pump had 1 rod gall the crank so the crank and 1 rod are bad. If you have this same pump I will ship whatever parts you need. The cylinders themselves still have the hone marks visible as can...

    New Puma Air Compressor

    You may have seen my other two threads about my 29 year old craftsman compressor that quit. After looking at about 100 different compressors I ended up going with the 60gallon puma northern tool had on sale for $499.00 then with the $50.00 off coupon got it for $450.00. Even though the output...

    Compressor oil questions!

    I know this thread is over a year old but I have to post this just for education purposes. I bought a craftsman 5hp compressor in 1985 and it had been used hard for the 29 years that it lasted. It was made by devilbiss and was 100 percent American made. It came with 30w non-detergent dino oil...

    Help me decide on a new air compressor

    Most of what I do with my compressor is air nailers and sanders with some 1/2 impact use when working on cars. I just went to northern tool and looked at the Ingersoll they had there and it has a china made pump. I went to lowes and they had a Quincy that says made in America on the tank but I...

    I want to most bang for the buck. What I mean is the most capable compressor that is good quality. I will sacrifice output volume for better quality but I want something that will last another 29 years. I am looking at 60 and 80 gal compressors with output from 10scfm to 18scfm at 90psi. The...

    Best deal for 5hp compressor pump

    LG65 The motor is a 13amp 240V I never thought of even checking that. The front of the compressor says 5hp so I went with that but a 240v 13 amp is closer to a 3 hp motor. Glad you said something. I might just buy that Ingersoll rand and be done with it.

    I need a new compressor pump. I have been looking on the web and I have seen pumps for as low as $129.00 and as high as $500.00. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good brand pump with good specs. I would prefer American made if that is a possibility anymore. If not at least a brand that...

    Recommendation on metric hollow shaft nut driver set.

    I have a set of older snap-on hollow nut drivers and now I am looking at what options are out there for a metric set. I want a good quality set that has a working hollow shaft. I have used cheap versions that had hollow shafts but they where either not deep enough to allow a stud more than about...
