Yes I know what they cost, I have a fully equipped (sp) (except lift) garage here. Why the hell are you using an extension cord on a compressor????? Get a longer air hose.....

I will get a longer air hose eventually. Will not use extension again.

by the way the torque wrench I used earlier I don't use for torquing so no problem.

No quit criticizing and tell me how long a hose to get and should I get a longer hose or an extension hose


PS, I fixed the broken wire on the trailer by myself

How far from the outlet do you need to get the air? I would just get a long enough hose, not an extension as this would be a potential leak.

Edgar, get in the car and head for the Harbor Freight on Chambersbridge Rd.
they have all the things your looking for - hose, impact sockets etc.

the stuff is cheap- but if your not making your living of the stuff it's sufficient

Ever seen an Avalanche? If I rotate the tires then I will need more than 25' to get to all four without moving the compressor

They sell 25' length hose. That's what I use here as well.
