I was recently using rivet nuts (rivnuts) for the first time, after hearing about them for years...debating between the steel or alum. Then after I got done I got to thinking which one is stronger...or what can they hold. So I jump on the ole YT and hey there's a vid showing the aluminum. So...

Back story I bought a used IR compressor a few years ago. For a couple months it's made a bit of a hiss when running. Finally checked it...head gasket. Try to find parts...not real easy averaging $50 for the head gasket then all the other gaskets needed, it's old...ugh. So after a lot of...

OK so those handy little pure sine inverter generators can be parallel to run larger loads. OK great but maybe it's not quite enough so you tie in a pure sine wave DC to AC inverter cuz the in rush current of your compressor is too much for your generators. That would all work right. The...

I'm trying to figure out the cause and solution to this pump problem. https://youtube.com/?#/watch?v=qECPUWsOE10 2" well casing 23' deep with a sand point. Pump is on about 20' of 1 1/4" suction pipe with a foot valve. The static water level is 4-5ft below pump. The pump is brand new. I...

So I was just skimming the local CL and whoa...look what I couldn't pass up. :bounce: If you don't know what it is. It's a Wynn's Du All Coolant Power flush and drain machine. I threw down $80 and brought it home. Now I can do a nice quick efficient flush and fill. :thumbup:

So my thought was just drill a hole through the exterior wall and run 3/4" pvc outside, and stick the drain hose in there. But my caution has been would that water draining end up...

So I have this friend... No, really my friend, bought a nice 3yr old SnapOn BRA517V compressor off CL. I hate it when I find all the good deals and others buy them. The seller ended up delivering the unit on a trailer. The problem is, it was laying on it's side. It was hauled that way for about...

I'm curious if there are any code issues regarding using just a breaker as a switch\disconnect for a compressor circuit and a hoist. I was planning on using just a breaker. And does it change if the lift or compressor is hardwired or twistlock plug? I was chatting with someone who mentioned the...

For years I have been bleeding brakes with my little Hand vacuum pump, or the help of another foot to pump. Well I decided to change that. So after a little research and a little fabrication this is my result. I didn't want to put a lot of $ into it. But I did want it to be very functional. So...

Motofixxer's new almost dream shop 25x32 It would be a dream shop if it was 4 times larger. But residential zoning has limits without going through all kinds of permits and hoops. I have already had neighbors calling the city to ask why they allowed such a large garage. And complaining to the...
