21. Re: PVC air piping (score: 1): Author: james.a.babcock@adn.alcatel.com (James Babcock); Date: Tue, 7 Oct 1997 07:55:23 -0400 (EDT); Something that no one has brought up in this iteration of the pipe thread is the case when PVC has a small leak. The depressurizing air will cause the pipe to chill, making it brittle. I believe that; /html/shop-talk/1997-10/msg00029.html (8,884 bytes)

I've never broken one, and they offer some very nice portable sets with blow molded cases. I always know if I've misplaced a socket now. I received a set of 5 Snap; /html/shop-talk/1997-10/msg00097.html (9,147 bytes)

Re: Extension for a 3/8 drive butterfly wrench (score: 1): Author: james.a.babcock@adn.alcatel.com (James Babcock); Date: Thu, 30 Oct 1997 08:09:17 -0500 (EST); First of all, I think that the salesman is right. A butterfly wrench doesn't develop enough torque to be a problem with a good quality extension. I would stay away from HF for extensions though.

I'm wondering about people's experience with cheap air tools. I'm thinking of buying either a cutoff tool or; /html/shop-talk/1997-09/msg00067.html (8,679 bytes)

Re: cheap air tools (score: 1): Author: james.a.babcock@adn.alcatel.com (James Babcock); Date: Fri, 19 Sep 1997 15:09:14 -0400 (EDT); I used a Sawzall once to cut down a willow tree...they're amazing. I'm not too worried about cutting exhaust pipes, but the nuts and bolts can be a real pain. I recently did the (original) exhaust on; /html/shop-talk/1997-09/msg00071.html (9,017 bytes)

Re: Nutbuster (was cheap air tools (score: 1): Author: james.a.babcock@adn.alcatel.com (James Babcock); Date: Fri, 19 Sep 1997 16:41:44 -0400 (EDT); I bought a cheap set of 4 of these things several years ago. The design is such that there is a small setscrew that prevents the chisel end of the threaded rod from turning when the rod is tightened.; /html/shop-talk/1997-09/msg00074.html (7,710 bytes)
27. cheap air tools and nut busters (score: 1): Author: james.a.babcock@adn.alcatel.com (James Babcock); Date: Sat, 20 Sep 1997 20:56:37 -0400 (EDT); Well...Thanks for all the responses. I feel a little better about ordering the cheap air tools now. I also think that having a sidewinder ratchet for spark plugs is a better choice than an air ratche; /html/shop-talk/1997-09/msg00085.html (7,387 bytes)

I have several 1x4" fence pickets that make great racks for mounting on the wall. It's just right for aerosol cans, oil filters, and other little bottles and cans.

29. Re: Automotive cooling (score: 1): Author: james.a.babcock@adn.alcatel.com (James Babcock); Date: Thu, 31 Jul 1997 08:34:35 -0400 (EDT); I agree. I don't think that I would try this on my TR7 which has an underdesigned cooling system to begin with. It might make good sense on my Dodge Dakota which has an oversized radiator for towing.; /html/shop-talk/1997-07/msg00082.html (9,332 bytes)
30. Re: Emergency kit (score: 1): Author: james.a.babcock@adn.alcatel.com (James Babcock); Date: Fri, 13 Jun 1997 09:38:47 -0400 (EDT); I've thought about this too. Some additional things that I've thought of: 1. a pair of cheap cottom gloves. You might not need the Gojo! 2. An old sweatshirt.

I was towed this past weekend from Harrisburg PA (107 miles). We have the plus membership, so the tow cost us only $14 (100 miles free, $2.00 per mile a; /html/shop-talk/1997-06/msg00050.html (9,205 bytes)

Re: Shop Vac choices (score: 1): Author: james.a.babcock@adn.alcatel.com (James Babcock); Date: Wed, 5 Mar 1997 08:07:16 -0500 (EST); My 16 gallon unit broke a couple of years ago, and I bought the cheapest one that I could. I almost never use my vac for wet pickup...mostly for vacuuming out the cars. I think the 1.5 gal unit with; /html/shop-talk/1997-03/msg00035.html (7,872 bytes)
