When is the last time you drained your tank? I was having the same problem and after draining (there was a fair amount of water buildup) it was fine.

I've had this set for a couple years and they havent let me down yet. I think I paid around $20 back then

nice lookin jointer!

I agree those folding ladders are awesome - I used one during my house painting project this summer. Very useful on a roof pitch to get an adjacent 2nd story. The project is looking awesome, btw. I haven't visited this thread in a month or so. Nice to see the progress!

Just wanted to add to this thread. I bought the Wagner 1700 when it was on sale for $200 last spring. Just finished painting my 2 story house with it, using Sherwin Williams Duration paint. The paint is thick as jelly, but the sprayer handled it without any problems. I spent 3 consecutive...

Cheapest hand grinder (mine has blue handle): PASS The switch on the thing is stiff, but other than that it works fine. I bought it when I was in a pinch (left my Bosch out in the rain) on a project and it went strong for 2 years. I killed the HF one as well when I hit some dirt (cutting...

edit - dbl post

My Bosch 12v drill (2 years old) says Made in Switzerland - better than China in my book. Not sure if they are still made there tho. except for the vegetarian = vegan comment... that ain't true obviously.

An old JVC receiver, couple of older speakers hung on the wall, and I use an old Creative 20GB Zen to play my mp3's.

Menard's carries the Allen brand. I have seen the USA stamp on much of it.

I just used a flat screwdriver

yeah they just recently emailed out their 20% off coupons. The coupons say non-transferable, but I don't know how real that statement is.

Many manufacturers control the selling point of their product. Some will not let a store sell (or advertise) their product below a specific price point. Which is why you see "Price to low to print" in many fliers. This is a tactic of manufacturers to keep their product away from discount...

I have bought from PEXSupply.com before - pretty good company. I have also noticed PEX at Home Depot.

my visegrips serve me well.. I don't find em hard to release at all.

I bought a set of the Irwin bolt extractors last weekend to get a suspension bolt out on a Subaru Forester. It worked for me. I had rounded the bolt smooth and that thing bit into it and pulled the bolt out.

I have a corded Makita which is ok, but the cordless 14.4 Bosch drill I have has been a workhorse. I swear by it; I was so impressed with Bosch that I went and bought the PS-20 driver which is awesome. But the PS-20 is a driver, and does not replace a drill.

Try Grizzly tool - they are very popular with woodworking pros and make quality stuff. http://www.grizzly.com/products/searchresults.aspx?q=drill%20press Other brands are Delta, and Jet both as good as the Shop Fox.

shipping from NorthernTool is always outrageous. It would cost you about $500 to get both those chests to your house.

LOL - While the idea is interesting, I think he need more cross bracing support. The down-weight looks like it would easily be supported with the 2x12's. I just think if you plan to place a 3000lb car on there and get under it for any length of time, I'd have a pro design it for structural...
