Yep, I just ordered a 1-9/16" recon rotary hammer drill last night for 15% off! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No problem. Three additional points to consider: 1) Sound / SPL levels that manufacturers report are fairly subjective (at least in my opinion). I don't know if there's any standard as to how they perform the tests, how the compressor is mounted, floor, surrounding building, etc. So I...

Sounds like cosmolone. It's a good corrosion inhibitor. Scrape/peel it off, then just give your socket a good wash in parts cleaner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with a headlamp. I have this craftsman, and it's really nice too:, and bright: http://m.sears.com/craftsman-cordless-rechargeable-work-light-with-35-led/p-03473904000P I got it for less than $20. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To answer the OPs question directly: I had a 30 gal 120v Kobalt ($400) for several years that ran a HF earthquake impact without issue. I did use it to sandblast sometimes, but it ran nonstop and I'd have to stop ever 15-20 mins to hive it a break (and myself from wearing the respirator). But...

Yes, I agree... If you're buying used, take a good look at the tank. Maybe even consider buying a cheap boroscope to look in the drain hole. About 8 years ago I bought the 60 gal HF 2 stage compressor. Last summer I found an pinhole air leak near the drain that was due to me being lazy and...

I've thought about using left over laminate for the past several years, just haven't got around to rebuilding my workbench yet. So, I like the idea, but have no direct experience myself... But I'm interested to hear what others have to say. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Take a look on Amazon... They have 70uf 450v for $15. When swapping capacitors, use +/- 10% of the original capacitance, and a voltage greater than or equal to the original. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just paid my invoice over my lunch break! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm in (already on the list) but new to plasma cutters... What's the recommended consumable to cup ratio? And give a new guy (to plasma) like me a good idea of a quantity of these to get...?

I've had a HF for at least 5 years, and it's still pumping strong... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Portaband. And when your budget allows, Swag table for it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 12 ton has done everything I've needed it for. However, I do wish I'd have gotten the 20 ton. I'm sure there's a day when I'll need the extra power. And, I'd like to get the SWAG press brake someday...

I have a few sets of drills. - Fractions/numbers/letters - Small 1/8"-1/2" index that I throw in a bag when I want to be portable. - a small drawer full of various sizes for when I just need to make a hole And a drawer of dull bits waiting for an evening with a couple beers and my drill...

Would hydraulic quick connects be a solution for you, or is that what you're trying to rid of? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just got an email from Lincoln that you get one of their circle cutters free if you buy a Tomahawk plasma cutter... A $139 dollar value! Their plasma is probably only 6x as much as our cost, though. Sorry Lincoln, that's too much for me to justify when I have a saws all, torches, portaband...

Does your multimeter have a capacitance function? This makes it real easy to check a cap. If not, Google how to check appliance or AC capacitors, you can check them with a plain ol' volt-ohm meter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another vote for HF impacts... Been using them for DIY for about ten years, and haven't had an issue yet! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
