    Shop Work Lights

    Okay, I'm replaced my last Rough Service bulb and burned my arm for the last time, please give me some good shop work light recommendations. I don't mind retractable corded, as I'm tired of weak rechargeable batteries too. Any LED that actually put out good light? The ones I've played with I...

    Limit Switch Problem?

    My heating guy replaced a limit switch on my old Janitrol 20K hanging gas heater before winter, but I'm wondering if he put in too cold of one. The new limit switch says F130-15F and the other says L180-40F. Taking nearly 4 hours to get up 55 degrees on a 20 degree day (2 car space) :mad...

    Filter Question

    Just got a DeVilbiss CAMAIR QC3 filter that I'm hooking up in my compressor run. First off, the notes say I must have this 25 ft. from the compressor...well, I'm maybe 20 feet. I do have a riser and a water drain before the filter. Think I'll be okay? Also, I didn't realize this thing says...

    Where's your dryer?

    http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=97686 Anyone else using this dryer? How far away is yours from your compressor? I heard in another thread it needs to be 50 ft away to be effective. Still liking it? Think it is a fairly new HF item.

    Bigger than 3/8" line off compressor?

    I'm sticking a flexible braided line off the compressor to wall mount. Should I spent the extra $ bigger than 3/8"? Looks like I can go up to 11/16", but it will add up with the AN to pipe fittings. I'm getting the shortest precut hose (3 ft.) Thanks!

    Shopping Concrete

    What do I need to know when shopping concrete for a garage slab. Only requirement in my area is 4", but I'm hearing all this PSI talk lately. I want to make sure what I get holds up to some heavy 4x4 abuse. Also, school me on the insulation deal. If in the budget I'd like to lay PEX in the...

    Loft with Low Roof Height

    Does anyone out there have a loft with a fairly low garage? How did you do it? What's your rafter scene? I'm picturing a overall max garage height of 14' or 15' with a 4/12 pitch roof to match the house. Walls will be 9' or 10' tall. I'm dreaming 6' or so floor from garage floor to loft...

    150 psi shut off on 175 compressor okay?

    I want to swap out the stock petcock drain valve with a lever style and found a 1/4 150psi water valve on the shelf. Will it work with my 175 IR Compressor? I see other folks doing this, but maybe there is a higher psi lever valve out there???
