For those more experienced than I am, I am looking for the part number for the following item. I have a main water line shut-off valve on each side of my city's water meter with a 3/4 inch copper pipe. The valves are coming up on 28 years old and I shut them off when going on vacation...

I bought a new Skat Blast 960 Pro some years ago. A solid media blast cabinet and no regrets! I can't remember it coming with a manual so I'll have to look for it. And I know this isn't rocket science, so maybe if I took the end of the power gun apart, it would be obvious where everything goes...

I work with lacquer thinner quite often and those blue nitrile gloves we get at Harbor Freight last a few minutes till they swell and fall apart. Fair enough as they were never designed for that. Does anyone know of thin 5, 7 or 9 mil thick gloves that can handle lacquer thinner or acetone...

I bought two of these HF Viking battery charger/maintainers about a year apart when they were on sale. The charger has many great features...if only they would work. According the the Owner's Manual (Ver 19g), on page 9 it states: "When the battery is fully charged, the battery symbol will...

I have one of those "cheap" lathe-mill combos that does what I need it to do. I bought it new back in ~2006 and I believe it started leaking even back then. Its about time to fix it right, if it can be fixed (lets hope it is not a casting issue). Does anyone have one of these that had a similar...

I bought one of them just after they came out a few years ago. I then bought another as a spare. Both were bought when they were on sale...about $25. It seems the regular price on these is like the stock market, all over the place....$37.99 last week, $39.99 today. Go figure! Anyway the...

Actually, it is a Li-Ion Battery Holder I made from some tubing and end caps I got at Home Depot. You can make this any length for a series of 18650 Li-Ion batteries. I happen to have some 18650 Li-Ion batteries left over from something and the Ni-Cad battery pack (no longer available) in a...

Does anyone know what brand of quick coupler will fit this fitting?

I've used commercial abrasive blast cabinets where I worked and at my friend's machine shop but now that I have a Skat Blast of my own in my home.... What type of media and what size media should I be using? Note, I am in no rush and I prefer something on the gentler side. And also a product...

OK, I bought this Makita 3/8" Reversible Drill back in 1984. It now needs a new chuck as it started binding a few years ago and it only got worse. Back in the old days, the chuck in my Black & Decker would spin off if you put a pin in the chuck hole and took a hammer to it. The chuck in the...

I happen to have bought a Skat Blast 960 Pro sandblasting cabinet and this would apply to any brand really. What the hell are they thinking? They fit one person of X height. Other than that, if you are short, you need a low step stool, or if you are tall, you need a church pew kneeler. LOL That...

How long have you had the Astro Pneumatic Radiator Pressure Tester & Vacuum Type Cooling System Kit and how often do you use it? Does it leak, maybe not when new but after a few years? There seems to be many just like it for less than half the price. This one claims to be made in Taiwan; the...

I installed a MaxJax some years ago. Works well and does what it needs to do. I cannot complain about mine. I also got it from Costco at the time. I just installed a Dannmar MX6 that my friend ordered from Babco, a Canadian distributor for Dannmar. Well if I would have received that lift in...

Here is a tough one and I am willing to bet nobody knows. ;) When they manufacture alloy wheels, what tool cutter do they use to machine the "ball seat" in the wheel that the lug nut or bolt seats against? I'm looking for one to dress the seats after a wheel has been repainted. They are an...

Can anything be bought that is not Made In China anywhere. These poor souls need a serious dose of Quality Control aka William Deming. Was there any point to drilling the hole right at the edge of the plate when the channel it mounts to has elongated slots. I mean its not like there would be...

The commonly available blue or black Nitrile gloves that you get in stores like Harbor Freight last about a minute till they disintegrate when used in lacquer thinner. Are there any thin gloves that can handle that solvent?

Does anyone have the Harbor Freight Oxygen Sensor & Diesel Injection Socket Set? SKU: 99850 If you do, would you be able to look up the sizes of all 10 sockets? Thanks! :thumbup:

Particularly ones that sell brand names. Looking for OSG or Dormer taps/dies, etc. at discount pricing.

A heads up of things to check prior to installing the hydraulic fittings of your MaxJax. This would apply to any brand of hydraulic lift. The hydraulic fittings on one of the columns of my MaxJax leaked and would leave a puddle of hydraulic oil every few lifts. I finally got around (fed up)...

I already posted a part of this on the “MaxJax Installs: Post Here” thread. The problem is, who is going to read through countless pages of posts to find specific info? This MaxJax install would be of particular interest to Porsche 993 owners because spacing and locating my MaxJax is based on...
