I'm having a very similar debate myself. I'm 43 years old and haven't welded one thing since high school shop class, but I'd like to have one just to learn on and for simple repairs. I would probably be just fine with a cheap and small flux-core only unit, but leaning toward spending a little...

I used to be more of a Jeg's guy, but the Summit website is so much more friendly to navigate. Good to hear that they are good to work with also.

Yes, I was mostly pointing out that 'parallel' doesn't increase the voltage without getting too geeky about it.

For that kind of money and breaking on the first use, I wouldn't feel too bad.

That is a pretty good deal, but the parallel cord allows you to generate 4000 watts @ 120 volts. They would need to be in series to produce 240 volts, in theory.

That looks like the gun I have. I admittedly haven't looked very hard, but I haven't been able to find what the numbered knob settings mean.

I was referring to the original reply that was worried about electrocution with this properly wired DIY setup. The quotes only go one layer deep so apparently that got lost.

I hope that guy never opens up a wall in his home or garage.

I bought this puller set from HF to remove the harmonic balancer from a blown-up race engine. It worked but the puller itself was trashed in the process. For the price, worth it. I have used the harder black bolts included in the set multiple times to pop off rotors as you describe. They work...

What do those inside the sport think about going to single mag or smaller fuel pump, while opening up the other restrictions such as RPM and nitro percentage? Seems like it would limit the final potential while still allowing some innovation to set the tuners apart.

I bought this thing, and put a zip tie loosely around the torque wrench handle 12 inches from the center of the drive pin. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZWNGZFO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Put a hex socket in the vise and set the torque wrench. The wrench should...

I was just looking into these earlier this morning. I was looking into the Pela PL-650, which is very similar to the many other 6.5 liter extractors such as the one linked by Propflux01. They all seem somewhat expensive for what they are; trying to reason if it is worth paying more for what...

I bought this pump about four years ago to bolt to my Honda GCV160. I don't use the washer very often but it's worked great after the original pump stopped making pressure. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0071NNJZ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've used the HF version to do VTM-4 gear oil in my Honda, but that has a viscosity similar to ATF. That said, HF and Amazon carry inexpensive pumps that screw right on to a quart bottle of gear lube. I have one that I purchased from Walmart years ago and they have them online, but can't find...

I have theirs; it's pretty good for my use. Can't just pop a new battery into it like the Milwaukee but it lasts as long as I've needed it to. I'm also a big head lamp guy.

I went and picked up this set over the weekend. Haven't had a chance to use them yet but did put sockets on them to spin, and they are very smooth compared to the Craftsman 72t (I assume) ratchets that came in my large starter set from ~20 years ago. It's a great price for three ratchets at any...

I've used regular green automotive antifreeze.

I have three of the "UFO" bulbs in my garage; one per stall. Massive improvement over the LED floods I had in there previously. I originally planned to convert to shop lights but don't feel the need anymore. How they actually compare to a four foot shop light, I have no idea.

Per the specs on the Home Depot site, the 1/4 and 3/8 are identical other than the anvil and the 1/4 providing slightly less torque.

Ratchet? I can't find a Bosch anywhere.
