sneaky, I wouldnt get one off of ebay...craigslist maybe. You get what you pay for with ebay.. I once bought a pressure washer... lasted all of about 6 months then poof, broke in three places. I have a campbell hausfeld and its lasted 10 years, I recently replaced the thermal fuse, otherwise its been perfect for my small shop.

 

Oh, I also have this up for discussion among the staff here, be patient and there will be an answer.

 

See, questions about tools already. Now if we only had a designated place to talk about them!
"If you build it, they will come."
Could be this subject isn't being discussed much at all because nobody knows where to put it?

 

so about what size is good for a small shop? 20 gallon. 26 gallon. 60 gallon? I would like to be able to paint an entire car without having to refill. Also would have been nice having one to tear down that 350. Still didnt get done with that yet...im slow hah.

 

how about some specific and tangible examples of where you would like to see it and what it should read in the heading.

 

Discusions on work areas and tools used to restore or maintain your Camaro
Possible threads.

Welders, which are the best for sheet metal

Craftsman vs Snap-on vs generic

Ouch, my knuckles hurt (Best gloves?)

I just finished my Build now what do I do with all these new tools!

Low on Funds! Best wrench for a buck?

Nut splitter? Not my wife

I need a lift!

Why do you people spend so much money on Snap-on box’s? (pet pev of mine)


Voltmeter what do I need to look for?

We would limit the discussion to the tools and their generic use and reroute specific model related question to the correct forum.
Example. What is the best spark tester?
XXX makes a good one,,
YYYY does not make you draw blood
ZZZZ gives you free popcorn
Ok I got ZZZZ (because who can pass up free popcorn) But I still can’t find why my car is missing!
Go to the tech forum, the smell of popcorn makes me hungry.

 

gorn whats a snap on box?

 

I have a grand total of one snap on product, one. It is a 3/8 socket I found in the road one day.

 

is snap on a brand?

 

Snap-on is a professional grade tool manufacture/distibutor. Their hand tools are the best I have ever worked with. The cost is about 10X what Craftsman costs. Since their hand tools are so good mechanic love them, but for some reason people think anything with Snap-on name on it is gold. Check out their site http://www.snapon.com/

Don't get me started on their over priced boxs.
