Hey, everyone! How y'all doin? I managed to score a set of Wilkerson air line conditioners at a tag sale and was planning to dismantle/clean/reuse them on the shop air line connected to (or to be connected to) my Champion 80-gallon 5HP compressor... the configuration is all 1/2" threading in...

So, does it matter if the filters are 1/2" and the air lines are 3/4"? Wouldn't the 1/2" openings restrict airflow? I'm asking because I have a F18/M18/R18 combo that I'm hoping to clean up and use on a Champion 80-gallon 5HP compressor myself... Sorry this is so late in the game on this...

You kind of missed the point I originated with - but no biggie! My only concern w/Ryobi is that the first 2 tools I used of theirs - maybe a decade ago - were j.u.n.k. so I never went back. Prolly not the best approach but I can’t say that about the Bosch/DeWalt/Milwaukee/Makita/Metabo (oh, and...

Partial response from MTO: “To start, both chemistries have the same charging voltage so the charger voltage algorithm would not be an issue. The difference of the delta v peak that NiCad and NiMH batteries do when fully charged. NiCad cells have a more pronounced voltage spike when fully charge...

Aaand we have a winner! NiMH it is… and VERY professionally done!

There ya go, then… no explosions! Didn’t have time to look, will try in between work hours tomorrow.

Y’know, I didn’t even look - just plugged’em into charger, let’em charge and put’em to work. I’ll check tomorrow & report back…

SO, after shipping them off to @RTM - suggested rebuilder (MTO) and having them rebuilt for less than expected ($81.50 for 2 batteries) and returned quickly, I topped off the charge and these puppies act like new batteries! Can’t thank @RTM enough for the suggestion and MTO batteries enough for...

I’d be interested IF: A). Someone would print them for me… B). They were Makita LXT-to-SENCO adaptors… I don’t own any DeWalt cordless.

Based on time availability (mine) and cost, I’ve decided to have them rebuilt… will post success/failure rate when I’ve used them a few times.

Hi guys! I have an old (maybe 2003 or earlier?) Senco DS-202 cordless 14.4V drywall screwgun that gets used a lot for short periods of time, then not at all for long periods - think 6-8hrs/day for two consecutive weekends then idle for months or years - and I just dragged it out for said...

And I guess the ‘proof in the pudding’ is whether I get nuisance tripping or not, right?!? Is there any other negative to expect from using #10?

I know… that’s why I asked. There are old-school folks around here who use it interchangeably to mean NM and/or MC (don’t know why) hence the question. I’m fixing to do almost exactly the same thing with a used Champion VR5-8 w/an R15-A pump and Baldor single phase 5HP motor and didn’t want to...

So, I apologize for sounding dense, but by Romex are you referring to NM cable or flexible metal? Or something entirely different?

Thanks, macgee, for the response… must not be much tooling because she’s asking $400. I hope to get a better look at it this weekend and investigate tooling situation Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Hi all… I have the chance to buy a neighbor’s deceased husband’s 1990 Enco 110-0818 lathe, and was wondering how to estimate a reasonable price for it? Is there an ‘edmund’s used lathes’ site or can I rely on you folks to give me a clue? I know the lathe hasn’t been used in 8 years, but have no...

I work on an Air Force base where we frequently wash aircraft, and we’ve had to drain to an electronically-monitored oil + water separator for years… even when separated we can’t discharge into sewer or storm. Check local regs, but even if they’re lax I’d be careful - it can be a mess to repair...

I couldn’t agree more on several previous replies: I think it would look better with bigger overhangs too. If you have winters, FLOOR HEAT!!! Underfloor conduit can only help… and once it’s poured you’ve kinda missed the boat. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I have an old Max SuperSider pneumatic coil nailer - CN565 - that has never failed me… Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal
