Cleaning and polishing can damage the clear coat on those. Go easy.

Hilti? Never again for me. Overpriced and impossible to get parts for the old ones. Dewalt makes an adapter that allows you to use the 20V Max batteries on the old 18V tools. It's a housing that the 20V battery slips into and then the housing snaps into the tool. Far as I can tell, Dewalt...

I received a shipping confirmation email this morning.

Well that settles it. Now I have to get one. When I bought the Ryobi cordless sander a couple weeks ago, Home Depot had the 4ah Li-Ion batteries on sale in a 2-pack for $79, one of their Special Buys. Can't beat that battery price with any other line. I have been running them hard and they are...

It's just like your nominal 12V truck battery being fully charged at something higher than 12V. Odysseys are fully charged at 12.85V, Optimas are fully charged at 13.1V or 13.2V, depending on which Optima it is. Two of the guys who work for me occasionally use only Ryobi. Both are former...

Whichever system you settle on, make sure it has all the stuff you'll need. Having multiple battery systems to deal with is a real pain. Starting from scratch, try to go with the newer brushless tools because they are more efficient and run longer on a charge, they are a bit more compact and...

I have cordless tools from Makita, Bosch, Dewalt, Porter Cable, Craftsman, Ryobi, Panasonic, Hitachi, Ridgid, and probably some others. No Milwaukee, but have used them. Among the current crop, Milwaukee has leading edge technology, but a lot of the technology is crap I don't need or want...

Could just be that they agree the factory got it right. When I put a bunch of Thuren and Carli stuff on my 3G Power Wagon. Both companies, including Don Thuren his own self, told me that the PW front coils were just fine for my use and, absent additional lift, I should just keep them...

I have three small Noco solar panels with controllers, plug into cigarette lighter socket. They are completely useless.

Yes. I have a 60 gallon stationary Ingersoll Rand compressor (private labelled for Matco), and I'm running Amsoil full synthetic in it. As I recall, Amsoil has some good info on their site about compressor oil. If you are going to hard mount your compressor, figure out the mount before you...

Reversed polarity somewhere?

Warn's press release from mid-November of 2007, just weeks before the fecal matter began to hit the recession wind generator.

Warn Powerplant HP from their website: Compressor specs look like mine, which I think was designated SPI. The SPI was the single cylinder version and the VTC was the twin cylinder with about twice the performance. No way I could fit the VTC between the grill and the radiator on my 3G Dodge...

Yep, that's why I pointed out the inconsistency. Summit says 2.4 at 90, so it looks like someone at Summit has a comprehension problem. But for $150, it's a good little compressor. If I had my druthers, I'd be running an Oasis, but I just couldn't quite fit one into the available space. My...

Rayra is correct. Or go back to the guys who installed the shell and have them do it right. I have had the same shell on my GMC for about 18 years and it is still watertight on the original rail seal. When I bought the shell, I installed plastic rail caps to protect the paint, and the bulb...

I think the answer is a definite yes, and no. There may be some inconsistencies/errors between the Summit-posted specs and the Viair site specs. The 450P-RV is listed as 100% duty cycle, but their text says you can run it for 40 minutes straight. 100% duty cycle usually means you can run it...

Then you need to look at the Viair 300P. It's $150 now at Summit with free shipping and no tax; portable; comes in a kit bag with coiled hose, gauge, inflator; and puts out 2.4cfm at 90psi. You can use it with your 5-gallon tank or hard-mount it later if you want. It will fit behind the grill...

Hard to see those suckers in the mud at night.

That math only works if the the Puma has a tank the same size as the ARB, no?

Add: My emergency and recovery equipment stays in the truck all the time. Because when you don't have it is exactly when you'll need it.
