re: The Shop

Ian, I probably wouldn’t have a big compressor, but I co-signed for a friend to put in a tire shop at the truck that we use to own, LOL.

I put it on casters the first time I that I had to moved it.

Wheaties, you are a smart man. I learned the hard way about the ball valve.

I was very careful with every joint, wire brushed, doped & tighten all the way. Ran a pressure test & it leaked off in less than 2 hours. I didn’t put unions anywhere, making it difficult to fix any joint.

I haven’t soap tested yet, hoping that it’s in one of the quick connect.
I dismantled the first part and put in a ball valve, and an extra connector at the compressor for full pressure.

Brian, I had that reel hose mounted on a trailer for many years, as you can see the orange hose is pink & white now LOL.
DeWalt had a special going a few years ago. I got the pin nailer free with the purchase of a compound miter saw. I have a finish nailer but that pin nailer is my favorite, it is lightweight,easy to load & most any 18 gauge pins fit.
