I need to build a pressure chamber for casting resins and it needs to be at a minimum of 3'x10" I've thought about cutting apart a compressor tank, welding on a flange and using an existing pressure pot lid. If I could find some large diameter black pipe with screw on end caps, that would work...

This is a full time auto shop I just finished the second half of my shop and I'm wondering if I should go through the trouble with sealant and polish The first 1000sqft has been in use for about 6 months now and looks good when scrubbed, which we do every 3 or so days, but the coating is...

I was stuck changing a water pump on the side of the road on my father's truck last week. I haven't used any craftsman tools in a long time and that's what he has in his road box. Most of these are 30+ years old, but I was surprised at how tight the clearances were on the open end of his...

Could I possibly put cleaning solvent and water into my abrasive pressure pot, and use it to clean parts in a blasting cabinet? Has to be better than siphon Effective?

Anyone? The nicer the better. Make me an offer

Spent last weekend doing the first 1/4 of the shop floor in VCT. Have about another 1500sqft to go I learned the hard way that the floor MUST be 65* before putting glue down Nowhere on the label does it say anything about temperature. Took 18 hours for the glue to go clear and tacky. Of course...

Thinking about adding heat to the shop (2) 16 foot uninsulated doors (1) 10 foot "" door Walls and ceiling are R-19, 18' to the trusses The building isn't super tight, there are leaks around the doors What do you guys think?

Longest I can find are Toptul but they are impossible to get Something Snappy length without the Snappy price would be great. Gotta be as long though Thanksamuch! edit I should have mentioned I already own a full set of long flank drive + and nearly every gearwrench set they sell Need one...

I don't have a snappy truck out where I am so I've never even held one before It is very smooth but holy crud! Is the head big or what?! Significantly thicker than my Matco 88s and the reverse lever still sticks out wayyy too far Anyone else see this as a big negative or am I being dumb?

Our bridgeport has been out of comission for the last few weeks This is the third set of heads I've done this week :mad: The slab is flat to .001 I feel buff

I have more wrenches than I know what to do with, but I was looking for a set of extra longs and it comes down to Armstrong, Snap-On and Toptul being the three longest The Armstrong and Snap-On are the same length and US The Toptul are actually a good deal longer, known to be excellent quality...

I understand it is to keep the moisture out of the tank, but why wouldn't it be more beneficial to put the cooler on the outlet from the tank? The temperature drops quite a bit when entering the tank, which would make it easier for the cooler to drop the temps closer to ambient Maybe it makes...

* Some of the comments here seem to be directed towards me only, so I'll address them here I own a small shop in a town of about 900 people. We do not have tool trucks, they will not come out here. I don't have the volume of work to justify searching them out or them coming here. My boxes are...

Anyone with an XL combo set? Thanks!

Looking to purchase the extra long combos, but I can't find a US distributor Any ideas?

Dropped by the local pawn shop and found this Working and good batteries! $100 Didn't need them but figured I could keep the batteries in the truck for my jacket

I've been thinking about gutting an 18v and 12v battery pack, and running them from a switching power supply. I have multiple batteries but the tiny bit of power drop as they discharge is annoying, mostly with my ratchet and impact. Running back and forth from the charger is wasted time, not to...

Ridgid offers nearly everything I need, love the warranty and have had good luck with their tools. But, the only thing they don't have is a 3/8" impact wrench. They have a 1/2" but it is much larger Pulled the hex drive and milled it to a 3/8" square anvil. There is still quite a bit of meat...

I bought this set: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001M0O24M/?tag=atomicindus08-20 about a year ago and when I got it, it came with two 16mm instead of a 17mm I've been using the set and whenever I need a 17mm I just used my regular reversible. I finally decided to call Gearwrench on the 23nd of...
