ease posted:Not to derail, but airblown FO ?? Is that kinda like how a electrician will suck his pull line through conduit with a vacuum? Because it's faster and pulling on fiber = bad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_jetting Edit: Jetting story. When my father was working cross Canada installing fiber, one day they were doing a bridge and the jetter wasn't working right. They tied a plastic bag to the fiber and set up a shop vac at the other end then went for lunch. Worked Beautiful. Suniikaa fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Oct 28, 2008 |

It was also the middle of winter outside on a icy driveway so that may play into me hating it.

Wagonburner posted:What do I need to replace the hand valve on this ex-freon-can air tank? It leaks. I didn't build it, friend found cleaning out a house and gave to me. The freon bottles i've seen all had valves like that on them, you might be able to replace it, hard to tell from that picture. As for pressure, the tank is probably rated to more than your compressor can put out so don't worry too much about overfilling it.

A couple tiny wires on some aux lights I put on my bike for one. Telephone wire, for another. I haven't been able to find something that goes lower than 22 at the big box stores. I have a pair of these http://www.curiousinventor.com/store/product/100 that I got from radio shack for cheap, does 30 gauge no problem.

MomJeans420 posted:I'm not sure what the best way of cleaning the air for a 2 car garage is (or if I should just give up on the idea). I've see filters made for cleaning air in workshops before but I can't find any using google at the moment. You could always try a few furnace filters taped to a box fan, might be enough and it's cheap.

Skyssx posted:Well, if it says Craftsman on it, you can walk into a Sears in 50 years (assuming it still exists) and get a new tool because you were using your screwdriver like a chisel and broke it. I took my fathers Craftsman staple gun in to get replaced because the slide wouldn't lock anymore and they basically told me to get hosed, so YMMV.

BraveUlysses posted:somewhat of a tool question...any brand recommendations for headlight restoration kits? They are all pretty much the same. If you wanted you could just get some really fine wet/dry paper and some polish and go at it. Edit: Oh and remove them first if you can, less annoying and you don't have to risk loving your paint.

So whats the best, free PC OBDII software at the moment? I ordered my dad a OBDII dongle and need something to use it with. If there is something amazing that is pay, that works too. Stuff like real time diagnostics/stats is a major plus.
