Add me as a huge fan of the mityvac. No more bitching from the wife from me telling her to get her rear end in the car and pump the brakes. Also a major plus for clutch cylinders. It is 30 bucks at auto junk zone also.

MSC Industrial Supply has a decent sale today, Enter code WEB30 30% off $99 bucks or more, they have some good tools. This is off regular price unfortunately, I am getting a tire pressure gauge and some other crap. They had free shipping yesterday, don't know if it still applies or not.

I was excited by that woot, until I read 1/4 drive. Hopefully woot will have more Stanley recession close outs.

http://www.eatoncompressor.com/catalog/item/504747/172983.htm Does anyone have any experience with this brand of air compressors? Eaton? I want to spray some paint and these look pretty sweet, low rpm and noise. Is there a cheaper alternative?

Use a real impact wrench, the kind you hit with a hammer. I think they are 20 bucks, plus you need the hammer.

That stand isn't the best, but I would use it for anything but a big block, I doubt your engine weights 700 lbs though. I use one for a small block it is sturdy enough.

If you working on that old poo poo, I would buy a better stand with the legs on the outside, and not welded in china and put together with unrated bolts. I assumed you were insane when you said it was 700 pounds. I would use something better. This stand is more for the 300 pound I can pick it up if I have to by hand type of engine.

Those ratchets are just fine, I was beating on one with a 8 pound mini sledge, and it got the bolt loose without dying. For $100 you can't go wrong, it will do alot of what you need, use harbor freight to fill in the rest.

http://www.thepaintpro.com/sandblasting-equipment-information.html Depends upon what you are blasting. Paint will require less then the smallest blasting gun. You might get away with 15cfm if you work slow. Both of those activites take a ton of air.

You can probably use an extension cord from your electric stove outlet or electric dryer outlet. That is what I would do. The cords are pretty expensive but are sold at most big box hardware stores. This obviously doesn't work if you plan on using the compressor all the time.

As big as you can afford. I would go 26 foot deep so you have the whole back wall to store junk on without not having room to walk all around your cars. The whole thing is a cost tradeoff. Mine is 40x 24 and wish it was deeper but it is plenty wide. I would build one bay 16 feet high if I was doing it again and have the proper concrete footer put in for a two post lift. I have long cars for some reason.

Shiny sockets are also easier to find when you drop one in the dark and it either rolls down the side of the ditch or into the frame of the car and it is the only one you have that will fit. This usually happens when every store will be closed for the next 3 days and it is the only car you own.

That will be terrible for running air tools. Are you stuck with no 220 outlet? Why don't you craigslist a used one 5 cfm is really low.

I don't know anything about welding so above is a link full of propaganda from Eastwood.

MrOnBicycle posted:Edit: Did you read the starting instructions, you have to squeeze the throttle when you are clicking the ignition button down. It holds the throttle open and will flip up when it starts. Pull a few pulls on full choke then click it up one to run. Work the throttle when it starts so it doesn't stay on WOT. Other then that I don't know what is wrong.

I don't know where you live, but floor drains in a garage are now a no no where I live. Something about draining your oil right into the drain makes people go bonkers. (Thanks grandpa for ruining it for the rest of us.) If you have a good conduit then pulling wire for a sub panel should be easy. I had a separate meter installed on mine and it costs me an extra 10 bucks a month to the electric company, but I didn't have to pay $2,000 to run conduit and wire, so in 16 years I get screwed 10 bucks a month.

Running the motors on 110 really cuts their life, but if you don't have two legs available you don't have a choice. I need to find a nice craigslist compressor so I can ruin the paint on my miata.

I think they mean the crank to spin the engine but that is usually a bolt and they assume you have a BFW. 65 bucks is way too much though I would expect a hoist and two stands for that price. No one want to store this crap between engine rebuilds.
