Fine until you use the connection with air nailers. I have a few that will put the nail out the back side with too much pressure. If it were not for that, I would remove the regulator and run everything wide open.

I would love to run across a set of those wrenches.

Agree, build your own or of the two go with the Craftsman. I would go with build your own too though. It can double as a work bench if you set the correct height and it will be much more sturdy with room for storage under the bench.

Re: worse tool brand Worst tool I can think of are the ones that come with assemble yourself furniture. I assume there are people that use that little phillips and flat wrench. I use the included allen by cutting off the short section and chucking the rest in a drill. Second place would be a...

I think I picked this up from my dad but after mine clicks I will click it again a few times "just to be sure". I don't really know why I do it but I do.

You're using threaded rod. My thought was remove the washers, use just two nuts and two washers for each ruler section. You would sandwich the ruler between the nut/washer at the space you like. hope that makes sense. Like your idea, it gets me thinking.

My list is long but picking just a few I would say table saw, router table and a tall extension ladder.

Most of what I buy I do so because I need it so I went with option 1. I don't mind restoration but could not say I look for it on purpose.

Why not go back with rivets? I understand the ease of dis-assembly later but if its not going to be done often and it worked until now, why change the design? Not saying I would not do the same thing but curious is all. As for the blue vs nyloc I would use what I had on hand and right now I have...

My only Wright tool at the moment is a 3/8 breaker bar (flex handle) that I rescued from a pile of rusty tools at an antiques shop. Well made, looks good now that it has been cleaned up and given a home. I will buy more as I run across them, no need to buy new at this point for things I already...

I run my tools a little high but rarely need more than 120. You might look at a standard regulator with a "drop" prior to the regulator working directly off the tank. This would give you the full pressure plus a regulated line.

Most of the compressors I have seen first hand come with cheap on/off switches. I'm not saying they wont work but if you turn it off and on often you might want to consider something more robust like a knife switch or just wait and see how it goes.

What if you forget to turn it off and leave the house. While you're gone the hose or valve pops and the compressor runs non-stop trying to fill a tank that cannot build pressure due to the leak?

You saved about $200 off list and that big one is a BIG one from what I can see. Interesting to see a Snap-on ratchet with a quick release. I knew they sold them but don't see them nearly as much as the sealed heads.

The 84T Premium ratchets say USA on the head in the picture but I don't see them listed in any of the red outlined boxes with the USA tag. Wonder if they are are/are not. Already have a set, just something that stood out.

I have 3 torque wrenches at the moment that are roughly 5-6 years old. They have never been calibrated or tested and so far have only needed a gear replaced in one because the spring broke in the head. How often should I have them checked and being they are Craftsman would you replace them with...

The last tool I had that looked like that before cleaning I have kept rust free with Rem Oil. I'm not sure how long I can keep it clean but the tool looks as close to original as it can for the time being. My suggestion would be to start with some type of oil and see how it goes. If its not...

If the trays are Hansen, and it looks like they are, you're stuck with the broach direction. I wanted to flip mine up so I could see the broach end too but that's just not the way they are made. I have had to learn the size of nuts/bolts over the last year or so more than I had to know them in...

I would assume the driver owns the truck. He is after-all the owner of the franchise.
