In europe, are the ratchets 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 or are they metric sizes? Never thought about it before and just curious. Reb

I just got a used Miller 211 from the local welding supply store for $1000. I was trying to order some tips, diffuser, and nozzles. The manual that came with it seems to imply that I have an MDX-100 gun. When I start looking for parts I see many accessory kits for M-10,M-20,M-40,M100,M150 etc...

I am having to replace my Hobart 140 after my shop was broken into. They took $12000 of stuff and drank my beer. ( That was low ) Anyway, does the auto set feature just set the unit to what is in the tables or does it sense the current and adjust voltage and speed as it is needed. I am using it...

I got the blasting adapter for my pressure washer off of amazon. I went to HD and they had some bags of fine sand. They worked well and I got some of my WWII jeep stripped. Well I am back of the jeep again and I went to HD for some sand but all the had was Play Sand. I got some of it but it...

Ok my Quincy QT54 dual stage compressor blew the motor. Sparks fly out the back when I trip the breaker. Do you get the Baldor motor rebuilt or just buy a new one? It is about 4 years old. Reb

After all of the hype and discussion on the new ICON tool boxes, has anyone bought one of them? If so, what do you think of it. Reb

Help me to understand what is going on with a ceiling outlet. My son was installing a new ceiling fan. He got it up but called me that it was not working. When I got there I checked the wiring. Ground to green, white to white, and black to black. Seemed good but when I checked the voltage...

I am repairing a Ford GPW jeep frame. The frame is a C section that is 4.5 inches tall. I have replace a large section of it due to rust and I can grind down the weld on the outside easily. The grinder wont fit into the inside of the C section to grind it down. I have looked for a disk smaller...

I purchased the led replacment lights from Lowes. They were 1600 lumens. They just weren't quit bright enough so I orderd a few 3000 lumens from Amazon. These were a real disappointment. They were about the same brightness but cost three times as much. Am I missing something or was I just...

We just dropped in a rebuilt 305 in a 1985 El Camino when I noticed that we had not put in the tempature sensor in the left side head. It had a plug with a square hole in it that I could get to from the wheel well but it rounded out when I tired. I am looking for suggestions. If I drill it out...

I just installed a Maxsa garage laser park device for my MaxJax. I put it on the wall in front of the MaxJax and centered it between the two posts. Now when I pull a car in, I just put the red laser dot down the center of the hood as I pull in and the car is centered between the two post. For...

I have a 20amp GFI breaker that is very randomly tripping. It runs 4 outlets and seems to trip off when I am not in the shop and everything is turned off. Just a phone, computer and a TV sitting there idle. Is there a way to check if it is the breaker, or just swap it out with another and see...

I have a Snap-On ( John Bean ) tire changer. Model 8950. Last week the plastic bowl for the water separator blew up. It is a small one only about 1.5 X 5 inches. I called Snap-On to get another one. $180.00. That is ridiculous for a $5.00 part. Any of you all know where I might get one that is...

I have a Sears 5hp gas pressure washer. Most of the time now, the pressure coming out of the nozzle is not much more than the inlet water pressure. Every now and then it seams to catch and I have good pressure. Most of the time it is just very low. The inlet screen is clear. Any help on...

My little Jump Start box that I have used for 10 years finally died. Are there any exceptional ones out there or are they all about the same??? I found one for $500 that looked real nice but I don't believe that I want to spend any where near that much.:shocking: Reb

Just recently finish my auto shop. It is 27x45 which is still 1200 sp ft so it cost the same as a 30x40 but gave me more room on the end while still providing enough space for a couple of cars. I did all the work on the interior but had a local company put up the shell and foundation. It...

I am trying to find the sprinkler line in my back yard so I can tap into it and put a hydrant next to my shop for water. The last time I did this, I rented a cable locator that had a transmitter I put on one of the wires that run the valves and had a hand held unit that I used to locate the...

I accidentally got some Berrymans Chemtool on my Devoe Epoxy floor. It was only on there for less than a minute but it looks like it ate the clear coat off and turned my gray floor some what yellow. How would you go about fixing that, or am I just stuck with a small spot on the floor. Reb
