I got a master torpedo heater 100,000btu. It lights up at first and stays running for a little but and then the flame just goes out and it fills the garage with smoke. I checked the pressue with a gauge and its right on the dot at 4psi, and thats what it says in the specs on the side of it. I...

I have a master 100,000 btu kerosene torpedo heater. I turn it on and it works fine, takes a few moments to start up if it hasnt been used in a day, and it works fine for about 2 minutes, the cone gets red and all. But then after about 2 minutes the cone turns from red back to cold and another...

I'm building a paint booth/ carport and need a floor other than the dirt surface that is beneath it right now. I don't want to spend any money if possible, so I thought of collecting a sh*t ton of glass recyclables and breaking them up to use on the floor. I figure I could hose it off every time...

Hows it going everyone. I got an air compressor that I have been having a problem with lately. It seems that an excessive amount of moisture is getting in the unloader valve and it never unloads by itself, I have to flip the lever manually every time it finishes unloading. When it unloads it...

I found a set of snap on wrenches on ebay (7-22mm) for $250. Is this a reasonable price. I wtake it that it is but can I find better deals. Right now I use harbor freight wrenches and husky sockets and stuff like that. They work well; I have done like 3 engine replacements and a frame off resto...

Is there anyone else thats got an outdoor workbench. I use mine for scrapping and stuff that just makes a mess that I don't want to do in my garage. I even put a little lamp in the tree for when the projects carry over into the evening. Anyone else got pics? Here's a picture of mine I took on...

When working on a car and a bolt breaks off and then after extracting it and maybe retappting, I got to my HF met bolt set to get a replacment bolt and its just a regular bolt. Not the flange type which is used on all of the oem fasteners on cars. Why the hell don't they sell a flange bolt set...

Ok, so you know on a handheld corded drill how the more you depress the trigger, the faster the motor will spin. How does that system work. I always thought you couldn't control the speed of an ac motor it was set by the frequency of the power line 60hz. Anyone know anything about this subject?

Is it possible to use compressed air instead of oxygen in an oxy/ acetylene torch? It seems easy to do and would not require buying oxygen. Will the torch still function? Anyone ever try it? Just curious.

I am wondering weather I can use a sump pump as pump for my parts washer. Parts washer's pump is shot. Will this work or will it ruin the pump?

I have an older wayne air compressor. There are some pics of it in my previous posts. The check valve is leaking pretty bad. Is it in any way able to be cleaned or rebuilt, or repaired in any way. I took it apart and it really doesn't look too bad in there. Can I just clean the gritty surfaces...

I need to replace the magnetic starter on my wayne air compressor. Are all mag starters the same? Will any one work with any air compressor. I want to buy a used one off of ebay for my wayne air compressor. Its a really big motor but it says only 3 hp. It is 1ph 240v. It's a late 1960's model...

I just bought an older Wayne (I think its 80 gallon) air compressor. Durring transport the unloader valve on the front of the pump unit got busted . I looked all over online for one but couldn't find the same one. I'm kinda screwed here until I can find a solution. The current unloader valve is...
