Look at the CFM rates for the gun, then look at the CFM output of the air compressor/s, you want the compressor to exceed the gun requirements, the better the compressor output the less it will have to run. In the most basic operation, as long as the compressor exceeds the gun requirements you...

I have the hydraulic tool but have looked at the Eastwood setup as well. I will say this that the hydraulic tool produces some of the best flares I have ever seen and they do not leak. That said, there is a learning curve as you can smash a flare if you really bear down on it which might be true...

Nice work and good idea

It all depends on your experience and what you are used to. I have no doubt that imperial is difficult for those who grew up with metric but the same is true the other way around. I use the metric system for several things such as distances when shooting but that is about it. For mechanical...

I've used hallow ground tips for firearms for years, they work well but in the shop where i do car work I probably don't have any because in most cases I throw away any slotted screw I find, whoever invented them should have been shot... However normal screw drivers do make for good scrapers...

I think I'd rig a couple of tires/axles up front that could replace the outriggers and then make it like a small trailer/wagon.

I look at most car trailers as a blank canvass from which I can turn into the trailer I want they are simple pieces of equipment and lend themselves will to being altered. I've used some pretty sketchy trailers over the years but they all seem to get the job done. My trailer is rated at 7K and...

Trailer scams are all the rage now, a friend of mine was looking for a trailer and answered a number of ads and after some research found out they were all scams. If it seems like a "deal" be very careful. I bought an Olympia 16' 7000lb open trailer back around 05 and its been a good trailer...

I have a lot of shop manuals to include some of the FSM's, Motors, Chiltons, etc. but these days I really rely on the digital versions of the FSMs, I print off whatever I am interested in and save the actual manuals from damage. I keep the FSM's in my office but the Motors and Chiltons out in...

Ya see there is a certain degree of skill (no pun intended) to operate powered tools, part of which is the understanding of the consequences of its use or better said when things do not go smoothly. Despite some expressed fear concerning this tool, I am pretty certain that it was not a "widow...

I am looking for a new ridge reamer and its been some years since I used one, anyone have any recommendations?

And of course I have to continue to feed the addiction so I just bought a surface grinder

I continue to work on the run stand, made the fan shroud yesterday for it, going to use 2 12" electric fans.

The 2 front bars that are bolted to the engine and run down to the legs of the stand

I used a Sherwin Williams industrial paint on one of my shops and its been ok but not flawless for sure.

So my addiction continues; I have been working on my run stand and just ordered a gantry crane.. LOL

Lol definitely not a "shed", its a 40x60' shop. Actually I have 2 of them, one is for working in and the other for storing the cars but that one has the tire machines in it as well as the cars and parts.

The old adage of "no matter how big you build your shop it is never big enough" holds true. I am constantly trying to realign/arrange my shop to make it more efficient and fit new stuff. I "think" I am pretty done at least for large equipment, I have a TIG, 2 MIGs, oxy/acetone, Bridgeport knee...

Dude... you are killing me... LOL

Anyone have an Innova 06-4100 ignition module tester? This alternator/starter tester I just got yesterday came with a pile of adapters for one but not the actual machine itself. Looks like at one time one was co-located with the machine I bought. This is one of 2 drawers full of these things.
