Howdy, I got one of the Goodyear 50foot air line reels from Northern about 3 years ago. Besides the rewind spring being a little weak, it has worked good. Last week it began leaking air at the inlet rotary joint. Any one know what is involved in repairing that? I think it is just an oring...

Howdy. The oil pan on my 1999 Honda CRV is rusted out. 1 small thru hole and some thin areas. It is concentrated in one area of the pan.. The rest is ok. I suspect that a replacment will be half as thick and also rust out quicker then the orginal one. I am thinking about brazing up the hole...

Howdy, Just got a Snap On 118-008, YA2230 Plasma cutter. Got it home and it barely cuts sheet metal (.02") The electrode was very worn so I got some new ones and tips on order.. Got the manual from Snap on and it says it can cut up to 1/2" mild steel. I think it will be amazing if it cuts 1/4"...

Howdy, Got a Challenger SA10 2 post about 6 months ago. After regular usage, the locks on one side engage slightly later than the other sides. I know the cables have to be adjusted, just looking for any one else who has done their's and what to look out for. Thank you
