    Sand Blaster Guns

    I think your needs are greater than these guns are capable of. These are meant for very small jobs. You can buy a cheap blasting cabinet for $125 and use sand.

    Blasting media question

    Getting ready to build a shop- first time in many decades I have done so- perusing this forum for ideas.

    A blast cabinet should never go outside. The damp air causes the media to cake up.

    Getting ready to build a shop- first time in many decades I have done so- perusing this forum for ideas.

    Try to plan the shop layout before pouring concrete. How many bays? Where to put lifts, allowing room for work benches. How many extra parking spaces, storing the wife's car, etc. Lighting- arranged to illuminate where the work is to be done. Where will the air compressor go? How much electrical...

    Going to Purchase a Mechanic's Stethoscope

    Trailer security

    Torque wrenches

    A torque wrench is at it's most accurate zone when when the desired torque is in the middle of it's entire range. Yes you need an inch/pound torque wrench, all tranny guys have one.
