    Looking for a plate compactor for driveway culvert

    Plate compactors work great for granular material (sand, crushed stone, gravel) but aren't really the right tool for soil. For that you need one of these:

    Blisted paint on air compressor head

    It's doubtful the the brass elbow and copper discharge line were painted at the factory. I would guess a previous owner did a shoddy repaint and now it's coming off. It would make sense that an obstructed discharge line would damage the motor before it could hurt the pump. Factor in the belt...

    Another CL Compressor Search Thread

    I have a 242-5N that was built in 1987. It has a 5hp Marathon motor that turns at 1750 rpm. It's quiet, and I love it. It looks like the one you're looking at has a Marathon as well, judging from the end cap. I say if it sounds good and builds pressure, $300 is a great deal.

    Looking at a tool box. Performax vs Harbor Freight (US General)...

    It's super thin. The first two photos are of a small scrap I had left over. The third is obviously how it looks cut to size in a drawer. I spent some time researching what to use, and I'm happy I went with this stuff.

    Looking for a Good Shop Clock - Thoughts?

    I've had this one on my wall for right at 13 months. It's been perfect so far. It keeps itself set and takes care of DST as well. The fact that it is always in sync with the clock on my phone (down to the second) is cool to me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002WZRJK/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    USA Hand Tool Brand

    What's frustrating is the lack of well made, affordable USA tools isn't the cost of labor or materials on our soil. It is greed, pure and simple, in the corporate board room. Irwin buying Vise-Grip, then proceeding to ruin such a simple, well built, American tool is a great example. We...

    most flexible, non kinking air hose?

    Go to adjust old style compressor

    If the compressor is shutting off when the tank pressure reaches 80, you need to adjust the pressure switch. Unplug it, then remove the gray plastic cover. There should be a sticker on the inside of the cover with directions to adjust the shut off pressure. Depending on the switch, you may also...
