I was wondering if anyone has had to change one in their water heater due to part failure? I understand these are easy to change, also understand what causes their failure. However wondering how common these fail due to age and being heated and cooled so many times across the lifetime of a...

I've been looking around at different options for doing wheels at my shop. I like the idea of easily doing 20 inch wheels, the Eastwood video about the B100 claims to fit however seems like it may be tight. Anyone have either of these two? one better than the other? I might be leaning toward...

I'm currently planing how I want to run my shop line, (copper) I read that I should run the same diameter supply line as what comes off my compressor. My new compressor has a 3/4 fitting coming out of it and I really didn't want to run such a large supply line, was hoping 1/2 to my regulator...

This isn't really a how to wire a hoist, more so how to do it the cleanest. I just setup my new rotary spo10 trio and was looking at different ways to nicely wire hoist from ceiling to limit switch down to motor. My first plan was to run 1/2 conduit to limit switch and then use some 10 guage...

Thinking of ways to wire my new compressor, its a 220 sailor-beall with a 5 hp motor. My main question is what are your thoughts on wiring a switch to override power to compressor to avoid running due to pressure loss in the event of a leak. I thought I could keep it simple and find a breaker...

Is anyone using these on their two post? Looking at them they look handy, however might get in the way. They look to fit well in the rear arms of a asymmetrical lift but might be crowded on the front arms.

Last week I picked up a new power washer the takes a nema 5-20r, no big deal my panel is old but has space so it hook up a quick outlet box on a breaker and put it in one of the many open spots. After I finish I test it and it show 220 at the outlet, baffled I decided to move the breaker down...

Today I was at the local homedepot and came across this box. Not big on the peg board but was impressed by the feel and build for a box of this price, made the Milwaukee next to it feel super cheap. Anyone own one? Was considering the build a bench out of harbor freight boxes but this one...

So I've narrowed it down to liking these 3 compressors, however having a hard time choosing. The main use will be daily use running impact and air tools commonly used in auto repair, maybe once in a while a DA sander (not often). My hardest decision is do I need a 80 gallon, if yes I don't...

Is ther a such thing as a quality Electric power washer? I looked at a wall mount setup but most of those have a max psi of 1500, was wanting something more powerful because my first project with it will be to acid wash the shop floor. Any ideas?

I picked up a small building that has old concrete floors, my plan is to clean the concrete up good and coat them with something that makes cleaning and sweeping easier. The front half I plan to have a hoist, however the back half I want to use to detail cars on a regular basis. The back half...

I'm about to close on a new shop and the ceiling height is only 11 foot 4 inches so from what I'm finding I'm limited to a floor plate model. In my current shop I have a cheap $1500 china made 9k 2 post floor plate model that has worked just fine. With the new shop I was Hoping to buy a nice...

Really thinking about picking one up, local tool guy can get me one for $1600. Any input will be great. Thanks!!!!

I missed out on SK day so I choose to put in a order from one of my local tool store. They came in 10-22, put them to work at the shop the following week 10-31. Notice over the last few days the chrome chipping off, by no means am I a tool polisher but this seems unacceptable.... I still have...

I've seen it over and over with Racedeck floors or similar, people start their design with a whole tile on one side and end with a odd size cut on the other. This leaving the design off centered. Racedecks how to even shows you to do it this way, It would work perfect if you floor was exactly...
