    Thoughts on this CP compressor from Zoro?

    This one From my research, this would appear to be from Atlas Copco - one from their AR line of compressors. If I get a 30% code, it can be at my door for $760 or so. I would be upgrading from a Craftsman 20 gal 110V oilfree screamer. Use is garage automotive stuff & light steel fabbing...

    How's this for a sub panel?

    Finally going to add more juice in my attached garage. 200A Cutler-Hammer BR service in the basement, so I'm looking to stay with that model. I'll do surface mount as I just want to punch a hole in the rim joist & run the SER to the box - no drywall repair. See anything amiss with this...

    Just assembled the HF 20 ton press and...

    ...the jack plate that the bottle jack bolts to is a good inch out of position to the left. Jack ram hits the donut ring on the top crossbar smack in the center :wtf: It is not useable until I cut the welds that hold the plate, re-position, and re-weld. I exclusively buy American tools; and...

    Question on replacing traditional fixture w/T8

    I want to replace the "builder's special" incandescent bulb fixtures in my garage w/ a few T8s. The garage is sheetrocked all around and I have three of those white cheapo fixtures to provide light. So my question is can I simply remove the existing fixture and expect enough romex will be...

    Garage door spring replacement cost

    Eating dinner & heard a small bang from the garage. One of my torsion springs gave up after seven years. I'm a DIY'er by nature, but I think I'm better off subbing this job out. I won't be able to get to it until next weekend, and having the garage door down is a major pita. I'd expect I can...

    Help with puller size

    Need to work on my power steering pump. Vehicle is a 2000 Tahoe - old body style. My plan was to get the Snap-On CJ132A (Kastar) master set. Will this cover me? Is there a better one I should go with? Thanks!

    My first pressure washer

    Somewhat of an impulse buy, but I've been meaning to get one of these things for a while. When the local coin operated car wash increased their price again, I decided to get serious. Picked up the Ridgid 80704 at my local Home Depot last Saturday. 3Kpsi & 2.6 GPM. Has the CAT pump & Subi...

    Used torch setup: what to look for & check out?

    I've decided to ditch the BenzOmatic & get a real oxy/acet torch rig. Homeowner use for wrenching on & repairing my rusty rides & such. I plan to find a used setup on craigslist, and will stick with name-brands (Smith, Harris, etc) for the business end of the deal. I know how to look over used...

    S10 rear axle bearing: puller advice, please

    Long story short, the rear end of my 180K S10 needs a little love. Fluid is leaking out the axle seals, brake spring hardware is rusted & falling off. Going to rebuild the rear brakes, pull the axles & replace the bearings & seals. I don't have tool to remove the bearing. Recommend me one...

    Out of tool storage space....rats !

    Well, it's happened: I've maxed out my old Crapsman triple high box from 1999 and the KRA2306 I got 2 years ago. I could squeeze out another drawer or two in the C'man; but I'd have similar tools in two different spots. I don't want to do that. So now I'm on the hunt again for another used...

    Flex-head ratchets: am I missing out ?

    I've been an amateur wrench since I drug my first $50 car out from behind some old-timer's barn. In all those years (listen to me-I'm 41...lol...), I've never owned/used a flex-head ratchet. I've just used universal adapters to "make things work". Am I missing out? Will my life fixing...
