Amazon, Home Depot, Lowe's, Tooltopia, Zoro, and a few things direct. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Are there any issues when the compressor runs? Personally, I might take a good luck at it for cracks to see if there's any gross issues and just hand dress any local imperfections. If no gross issues and it seems to run ok, I wouldn't worry about run-out as measured with an indicator.. The...

I have the Ridgid Palm router linked above, and agree with their recommendation. The smaller diameter palm size is nice and easy to control, and can do 90+% of what a full size can do. This would be an excellent first router as long as you have a way to hold your work piece securely enough

I have a 80 gallon Campbell Hausfeld, and it calls for either compressor oil or Mobil1. I use Mobil1. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a hoodie that I wear under my hunting jacket when it's cold out. It's nice because I can turn it on when I'm sitting still and it certainly takes the chill off. It wouldn't replace a heavy coat, but I'm happy with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Bosch 1617 has a really good reputation and lots of accessories. It goes for ~$150 with the fixed base or $190 (1617evspk) for the fixed/plunge base combo. It's pretty much a tried and true option. I don't think you can go wrong with this, it's worth putting on your short list.

Slugging wrenches. The hole in the "handle" part is for a rope to keep it tight when striking it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I struggled with a Mityvac for a couple evenings until a buddy from work explained to me that you have to leave the bleeder ****** open while you pull a vacuum and **** the fluid/air out. In one of my not-so-bright moments, silly me was pulling a vacuum with the MV pump and then cracking the...

It sounds like you already checked it, but I had a similar issue a couple years ago where the hose (with the gun cable) wasn't plugged completely in the jack. I used a lighter in front of the gun nozzle to verify if I had flow or not when I pulled the trigger. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone...

I know it's not on your list... But I have the Ryobi pole saw attachment on my 40v Ryobi power head, and it works great. The separate power head is a nice option... Plenty of power, and can swap out attachments Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I picked up the 3 piece set of Mayhew Dominator pry bars for $37 today... Regularly $50. It's a nice set, I'm happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I third what he said. Another thing to add is that stick/TIG is a constant-current welding process and MIG is a constant-voltage welding process. While both weld metal, the insides of the machines are generally different. You can buy machines that are capable of both processes, but generally...

I have both the SAE and metric version of these, and they work fine: http://m.harborfreight.com/9-piece-magnetic-quick-release-nutsetter-set-65806.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As for the 60 gallon ones... If I remember right, I think the Kobalt has a longer warranty. Also, it has a NPT air/filter inlet vs a bolt on one for the Husky. The NPT makes it easier to add a Solberg filter/silencer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree, you may not need a table saw to build a treehouse, but I'll never argue a reason to buy a tool. I built a swing set last summer, and it was my excuse to buy a table saw too. I found an almost new Bosch with gravity rise stand on Craigslist, and picked it up for $300. If you're not...

The OP asked for a switch, not a disconnect. Contractors are used for switching motors all the time. I'm not sure if the OP knows the difference. If not, maybe this'll prompt him to figure out what he really needs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another option is run a contactor (relay) for switching the load, then just use a lighter duty switch to control the contactor. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I just picked up a Milwaukee dual M12/M18 charger for $36, marked down from $60. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, make a special box end adapter for your torque wrench. Another method would be to use the "turn of the nut method" to rotate it a prescribed amount past hand tight to develop your preload. Once you know the degrees of rotation required, use a slugging wrench or a regular combo wrench...
