For helping keep this great
old truck web site
on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,959 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,959 | We are using a lot more electric both corded and cordless than we did 25 years ago. We drill a lot of small holes with cordless, but our magnetic drill presses like Jancy/Fein slugger are all corded. We grind welds with corded Fein and Metabo grinders that were still made in Germany. The new ones made in China are junk. But we still use air for impacts. I have a 10HP compressor with a 7 1/2HP compressor that kicks in when the pressure falls below 160. But we still need air. We set buck rivets with air and pull Huck bolts with air and use air needle scalers. And airing up a 445/50/22.5 takes a lot of air. Maintaining compressors and a refrigerated air dryer is not cheap, but it will be with us as long as I have the shop. It is getting difficult to find even names like Ingersol Rand that are not made in China. | | | |
