Hi Guys, I just replaced my helmet suspension with this new one, it's super comfy but I can't figure out how to tighten the drop down tension on this new suspension. My old suspension you just tightened the outside nuts and it would make it hold up/open firmer, this new one won't stay up and...

Hi All, I am wondering what others have done to setup their compressors in a shop. I want to put a dessicant or coalescing filter on mine but I was told at the parts store that the Norgrens are recommended to have up to 100' of line leading into the filter, I assume to cool the air and...

Hi, I found a good deal on a used toolbox full of automotive tools. It was looking pretty rough with cruddy stickers on it, emblems gone, dirty, etc. So I am taking it all apart, cleaning it up and repainting it. I have to use spray bombs since we are renting right now and we don't have all...

Hi Everyone, I bought an old Frankenstein compressor a couple of months ago. The guy had it mounted on an old water tank or something like that. Anyway the pump looks quite old (50s or 60s) but it doesn't have much in the way of markings on it. The guy had it hooked up to a 1725 rpm 1.5hp...

Hi, I will tell you what I missed out on yesterday. I check Kijiji for tools a few times a day. Yesterday morning a guy had posted 2 ads, one for a Harris style torch set $100 and another for air tools: 3 impacts (1 IR, 1 SO and 1 CP), DA, buffer, grinder, drill & hammer, $100!!! I almost $hit...

Hi, I found this on Kijiji in my area. I have been looking for a parts washer for a couple of years but never got around to buying one. I had seen the cheepo ones at Princess Auto (Canada's HF) but the kind we have at our shops at work are always the kind with the barrel under a sink. This one...

Hello All, I wanted to pass on my experience with this generator. We moved to a rural area last May and thought it prudent to get a generator since we are on well etc. The house already had a transfer switch so that made it an easier decision. I also thought it would be cool for odd jobs since...
