    Will a 15cfm refrigerated dryer + particulate filter be all I need to paint?

    Hey friends. I'm wanting a very low effort, very compact, air dryer & filter setup for a 2 car garage that is auto paint worthy. Space is a premium, and the last thing I need right now is another project (yes the brass pipe solutions are awesome, but I need to finish my project car haha). I want...

    My new Bondhus hex / Allen wrenches are pathetic

    I needed a new set of hex wrenches and read great things about Bondhus. Their site even goes to great lengths about how their ends are cut and chamfered in a superior way. I just received them in the mail, and they're pretty sad. The ends not only are not chamfered, they're uneven, and have...

    Oil soaked metal paint prep advice.

    I'm painting an axle for my jeep, and at the last minute decided to coat the pinion yoke as well. I had to use penetrating oil (PB Blaster) to remove one of the bolts. Half of the yoke is now saturated in oil. It wasn't the best idea but it beats a broken bolt head lol. Does any one have a...

    Critique my plan to buy two air compressors rather than one.

    I've been a long time lurker and decided to finally join this awesome forum. I've been researching air compressors the past month or so, and wanted the input from those more knowledgeable than I. I've needed a compressor setup for a while. The majority of its usage would be running an impact...
