Well, there goes some money I wasn't aware I needed to spend. :)

I've got an old piece of exhaust pipe that's been working for years.

I watched it with the sound off. :(

If you're double flaring, make sure your cuts are straight. I find that chamfering the inside of the tube and using some antiseize on the arbor and tip of the tube makes it a lot easier.

You and me both. The guy just handed me back my tool in pieces. Literally, broken arbor, broken clamp, and even bent the lever. I've no clue.

I don't think I understand. I don't think I see a beat down, but maybe I'm not reading it right. Heck, the Eastwood on car flaring tool wasn't even on my radar, so I learned something new today. I don't know if I would get one, (I hate flaring lines on a car with a passion), but I know there's a...

C'mon, what do you have against off-center double flares?

I bought the Snap-On one 20 or 30 years ago. I have done so many brake and fuel lines with it and a lot of it was stainless. I finally had to replace a few years back when I let a monkey with a hammer borrow it. Get the Imperial or the Snap-On one and don't look back.

Oh Mike, this is so sad to see. It's seriously gonna cut into your fishing time.... :rofl: Seriously though, that is looking great. I'm jealous and waiting for more pics....

That came out pretty good there, pard. If I ever get back into wiring I may have to borrow that idea.

That's a great idea. I'm a little concerned that you're so close to Palm Springs and couldn't get ahold of an accurate stud finder, though..... :D

The plug on the compressor was converted to a 240/50a type to match the outlet. The breaker itself is a dual pole 40 amp

That looks wicked bad. (That's a good thing). I'm so glad I wasn't the first one thinking about having to huck that bottle in there.

So, here's the UPDATE! Sorry for the delay, had to go and buy a new tire, put a hull under the house in case of flooding, keep the dog from eating my computer mouse when I'm in the garage.... You know, the usual stuff. I converted the motor and plug to 240/50a. The compressor screams like a...

Awe, c'mon. We're just bragging. Lol. Your storage unit looks very well lit. (Probably better than mine.) If it makes you feel better, I still have my double 8 footer (maybe six, I forget) fluorescent as the main light in the center of my 2 car oddity collector.

Ok, so the pictues didn't come out too well, but you get the idea. Lol.

Oh, and I used three of the 4 foot dual LEDs from Sam's Club. I might grab two more for the front of the garage.

Awesome! Now you can see all those things you can't get to. :D

Thanks amigo. I still gotta check on what I have in there. I sorta got sidetracked by this... Figures, don't it?

Wait. Wut? I really need to see what I have going here.

It's supposed to be 12/3. I will try to run it down after work.

They always say the older stuff is better. The specs on this compressor aren't matched by anything out there that I can find, so I would like to keep it. I feel like a dufus for not noticing that it was only a 20 amp breaker, but I wasn't using my compressor for more than inflating tires for...

When I had the extra line ran to the garage, I had asked for a 30 amp breaker. It was a buddy trade deal (sort of, still cost me some coin). I had never even noticed that it was a 20 amp breaker. I had two spots where the 120 outlets were run and there is one 240 outlet with a dual pole 80 amp...

How's this?

It's a 20 amp in the sub panel in the garage that pops. The 240 feed in the same panel is a dual pole 80 amp breaker.

Compresser was checked out. The pressure relief is working. (according to the expert at the compressor shop).

Our Karl?

I was so going for the bobbi pin test procedure.

Is that in Imperial or Lucas volts? :poke: J/K. It's 120/240. I am aware of how a breaker works. I need to know if there is a way to see if it is holding the proper amps.

I had a separate circuit added to my garage to run my welder and my air compressor. (Not at the same time). My air compressor gives it fits and pops it on it's take up cycle. I had the compressor checked and they say it's fine. The compressor is an old old old Craftsman 2.5 hp 120v unit. I don't...
