Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

[pioneerguy600]

My gas compressor is fighting me. Unloader is not working properly. Pretty much a non-serviceable unit. I may go into it one more time and see if I can make it work properly. The whole valve and cable assembly is $50. Hate to spend the money but a gas compressor that does not throttle fully up or down will drive you nuts.

Oh ya, they have to be working correctly or they are about useless. My Dewalt has been a great tool, always starts easy and has never skipped a beat so far, its been relegated to camp duties the last couple of years.

They certainly have their place in the tool set, like you say, a little slower than air but so very much easier to transport. I wasn`t using the one I had very much so I let my brother have it, guess its now his like any other tool I let him use. Still has one of my 044`s I lent him 5 years ago to cut up 3 cord of firewood....LOL

Yeah I use air when on the mainland and grid power is handy.....but The Paslode works really well for Island work or small jobs way up in the air...

Ya know....those little buggerz were pretty clever.....they removed the caps from every one of those acorns ......every single one.....no sense wasting valuable storage space on stuffs ya can't eat!!!

New air filter for the Saab came in yesterday...have to install today....see if they've started in again....

The squirrels do that on every acorn I ever see them pick up and store. I have watched them collecting oak acorns and they pull the cap off and smell the acorn through the little divot in the top, they will discard certain acorns that have started to mildew or rot, even if a drop of water has found its way inside the acorn. Smart lil devils they be.

Mighty Mouse 026 FTW. Even pulls 3/8" chain on 20" bars in hardwood. No squirrels or other critters hurt or harassed while bringing in the firewood.

Back to the top !!

May haul some firewood for my daughter tomorrow, will run the 026 Mighty Mouse for any bucking duties required.

Woot !!!!

Best I've tested so far , 8* drop in temps , .8hp gain and a 33% decrease in cut times !
No paratac in it so it's a cool runner , I think the paratac additive is just a sham driven by greed from the consortium and OmniCorps .

Works great for drilling holes and as a lube in the lathe.

If you ever have to BUY any cutting fluid.......Boelube.
Developed by Boeing. Ya know how many holes got to be drilled in an airplane!!!!
When we were drilling Titanium we kept a cap full near the drill.
Just dip the tip in the cap. It would drill 3 holes in the Titanium.
It coats the drill. Incredible stuff. Even for replay nasty stuff like the inconel series. That LOVE to work harden.

OK beolube, you best send some to Mayne....
