    New Quincy compressor with leak, normal?

    I have the same Quincy. Got it this summer. When I fired it up at a bad leak at the ****** that goes into the tank from the switch. Called Quincy, text them a pic of the problem. They sent a repair guy out in a couple of days. The ****** was cracked where it threaded into the tank. I could have...

    Best FREE tool found on CL

    I purchased an anvil from an older gentleman for $20. That in itself was a great deal, but then he shows me a box and asks if I'm interested in it. Had a 4" Ryobi corded grinder with a diamond blade, couple of flap sanding wheels and a couple of grinding wheels. Also had a small bench vice. When...

    Hose whips, where do you guys get them?

    I got mine from a local air compressor repair shop. Told them what I wanted and they made it while I waited (a whole 5 minutes!). If I remember 1/2 line w/ swivel was about $10.

    Vintage Craftsman Ratchet

    A little late to this party, but here are mine. 2 breaker bars. They were grandpa's. I use them all the time. In fact I used them yesterday! Didn't realize they are "rare".:shocking: Maybe I should get a new set and display them in the shop!

    Quincy Extended Warranty?

    I purchased it for mine. I'm with 71goldss. If you don't get it you will need it! Why kick yourself 2 years from now for $200. I've only had mine for 4 months now. The ****** for the pressure gauge was cracked. Could have fixed it myself, but since it was under warranty and wasn't sure if I...

    Ryobi +one a good system for new homeowner?

    I like the Ryobi. Purchased my first set about 13 years ago and they are still going strong. Have replaced the batteries, but other than that they still work fine. I have worked the drill and recip saw. They don't look pretty, but they work. For the average DIY home use guy they are a great value.

    tuff sheds

    I didn't have a garage, but I did have one of their barn style sheds. About a 10x10 if I remember. It was built like a brick **** house. Installation was quick and professional. When I moved I wanted to take it with me, but was too heavy and in a difficult location to move. I still miss that...

    Ir t-30

    https://slo.craigslist.org/hvo/5645220835.html Need some input on this unit. Not sure if I should pull the trigger or if I should pony up and buy something new. For a 33 year old compressor it looks like it's in good shape but .......... It's for a home shop. Some blast cabinet duty - no...

    Atlas Copco GX4 Help

    Thanks for the info. I didn't know about the 60%+ run time for a rotary. I won't be using it that much, so I guess I will stay from it even tho it may be a great buy.
