I just bought a used Quincy QT-5 compressor. It was inside someone's garage where they had a woodshop. I took a couple pictures inside the tank with a endoscope and see what I think is surface rust, should I try to clean this? If so what do you recommend? I have a pressure washer to maybe...

I am thinking about getting a used Quincy QT5 air compressor. So far I have seen 3 different types of pumps on the ones I've seen advertised. I've looked online but was not able to find much on details on older models if if they came with different pumps. If so, what the differences are and if...

Anyone familiar with WildFire lifts? I have seen them advertising on craigslist and here is a link to their website. http://www.wildfirelifts.com/ It appears to be a knock off of the Backyard Buddy lift, except this uses 5" posts where as the Backyard Buddy is 4". Seems like a great deal...
