I need a couple of new air filters for my compressor pump (67698). I've ordered them from Harbor Freight, but they're on backorder, so no idea when they'll show up. I just pulled this pump out of storage (and finished the reed/gasket replacement), so I don't have the old filters to use for...

Title sums it up. I was working on the copper air line for my plasma table tonight, when I noticed RUST spots forming on the ways of the mill. A quick glance at the gauge I keep in there...88% humidity. Garage is finished, drywalled, but uninsulated (on 3 of 4 walls, and ceiling). Approx...

Title sums it up. I'm looking for a large pellet-style desiccant filter (so I can dry/re-use/source desiccant inexpensively). Well, I'm actually looking for about 3 of them. Something like this would be ideal: http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/air-dryer/A-p8055757e I hear it can be...

The title sums it up. I need a blast cabinet to blast parts that come off of my new CNC plasma table. I will be powder coating the parts. I'm currently trying to decide whether I want the large Harbor Freight blast cabinet for $150 (sale, coupon), or by the TP tools DIY kit for $350. If I go...

I'm getting ready to hook up a newly purchased 60 gal compressor. This thing will have dedicated air lines for my newly purchased CNC plasma table, and my CNC mill. Will probably also run a dedicated line to a hose reel. This will also feed a blast cabinet and powder coat gun, but I have not...

Any chance you may know when the refrigerated air dryer, 40211, will be going on sale again? I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one, but if it's going on sale shortly, I may wait. Thanks! http://m.harborfreight.com/compressed-air-dryer-40211.html?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided

I've got a new plasma table that will be here at the end of the month. In addition to that, I need to supply air to the CNC mill (not much), and the soon-to-be-acquired blast cabinet and powdercoat gun. The sandblaster should use the most air, with the plasma needing about 8 CFM. I have only...

Title sum is up. I'm trying to decide on a powdercoat system. I've discounted the HF unit, and I'm now looking at the Eastwood dual voltage unit, or the Caswell multiple voltage unit. I'd like to cap this purchase at $300 for now, unless there's a disproportionate jump in performance at a...

I'm looking for a 16' x 18" Ankmar RP 138 garage door panel (raised, white, in a perfect world!). Local vendor says Ankmar is no longer manufacturing, and as such, this panel is not available. I'm hoping someone out there in Garage Door Land can guide me towards a place to find a 16' RP 138...

Title pretty much sums it up. I've got a couple projects that would be easier with a belt sander, in addition to it's general "handiness". I'm not much of a woodworker, so this would be occasional use. I still need to remodel the bathroom, hang some doors, maybe sanding some circular saw...

I'm replacing about a half-dozen interior doors at my house. I'm replacing them with the ~$25 Reliabilt hollow-core molded composite doors from Lowe's. Yeah, I know they're not solid-oak custom made gems, but throw a white coat of paint on them, and they look just fine in my house. This is a...

I'm putting up some base trim and door / window molding. I'm going to be painting the trim white prior to cutting. Then I'll be installing, crack-filling with caulk, and finish paint / edge touch up. I'm curious...will something like a Wagner Power Painter: Work to shoot this trim, or do I...

I've got the Hitachi KC18DHL 18v Li-Ion kit that I use daily at work. It uses this type of slide-style battery: I've got 2 batteries, and I'd really like to pick up a few more, however I hate to pay more for 2 batteries than I paid for the whole kit! 1.5Ah is ok, 3.0 Ah would be great...

Was noticing tonight how full my pliers drawer is. Drawer footprint is completely used up, starting to have pliers lying on top of others, etc. If I move my pliers from a shallow drawer to a deep drawer, these pliers racks might make sense. Storing pliers on edge is much more space efficient...

My new MG325 showed up today. Included was a small clump of muffler fabric, and a retention plate. I'm wondering...if I install this muffler material in the gun, will it cause my gun to lose power? Or will it run full strength with or without? If there's no issue, I'm installing the muffler...

Title pretty much sums it up. I've purchased new MG325 and MG725 impact guns, and now I'm needing to build up my impact socket selection. Right or wrong, I'm of the opinion that the $ should be spent on the impact gun, and the sockets aren't as critical. That's my opinion, right or wrong. As...

Buddy of mine at work managed to break his 7/16" GearWrench combo wrench. I mentioned to him that I'd be going by Sears anyway to warranty out a 7/16", 1/4" drive socket. He tossed his GearWrench to me, and asked me to take it by as well. I'm not sure if I'll be going by today or tomorrow...

My old Snap-On IM31 3/8 impact is toast. It's super weak, and time for a rebuild or replacement. The three options, as I see it, are to 1) rebuild the IM31, 2) pick up an MG325 (to match my MG725), or 3) pick up a 2115TiMax. Several guys in the shop have the IR guns, and they seem to like...
