I very much prefer socket rails, with springy clip things, for sockets that I carry around. It makes it very easy to grab the 3/8" drive standard set, and know I've got a complete set. It's also easy

there's a substantial difference in the quality of the clips, I find. Most of my rails are Snap-On, as they're what the sockets come on. These work much better than the crappy ones I got from horribl

I bet you've used the 6.3mm socket a hundred times or more. You just use the one that's labeled 1/4 inch. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Shop-tal

The smallish toolkit that lives in my Land-Rover is set up like this. It's got a set of combination wrenches, a 3/8 ratchet, an extension, a universal, and a socket rail. I took a couple of the socke

They exist. They're not cheap, though. I also don't know how well they work for data. Credit card processing is probably okay, given the low baud rate. It's also worth talking to your credit card pro

Whitworth bolts are referred to by their major diamter and pitch, just like American ones. A number of the diameters have the same pitch as the American (UNC) bolt does. Tools for whitworth are named

It's my understanding that BS 1083:1965 says BSW and BSF bolts and nuts of the same diameter have the same size hex. I don't have a copy of the standard, though, and I'm relying on Industrial Press t

Don't install the pipes level. Run a tilted loop, with the low point at the point where the compressor feed connects to the loop. It's easier if that's in a corner, of course. On that drop, connect t

There are drains that only trip when the fluid level reaches a certain point. I know donaldson makes some, but I've only seen them on big (1000 cfm or so) compressors. They also don't dump any air, j

Payback for a refrigerator that was built in the 70's is probably a bit less than 2 years. I'd bet the savings are about the cost of financing it. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com _______________
