Got any cool tools lately?

I wouldn't worry about it.
Unless your in an earthquake zone or somebody hits the car with a truck while it's up there, it shouldn't get a lot of shear force.
My main concern when I was thinking about building some, was the wood it's self splitting out because of the screws.
That's when I started thinking about making some out of angle iron. Angle iron is cheap and I think they'd even be lighter maybe
Easier to hang from the ceiling anyway lol.
My vision was kind of leaning to a set of brackets I could set these in. And remove them if I wanted.

I'm not all that worried about the screws
Depending on options they're between 3800 to 4100ish.
Nice unit. Only thing it needs are quick disconnects on the hose. Get an adapter set for under $20 and never rip an oring again.
I did the quick discos on the newer one I got and definitely recommend.
3/4" x 3/4" angle iron across the wheels width wise on the front edge and back makes there a LOT more sound . and just need longer bolts were they bolt the wheels on . not a fan of non metal wheels tho .I wouldn't worry about it.

New tool for work . . 23cfm @ 175 . 13hp honda . Now to mount it up and get to work .
What truck is that going on?
going on a trailer . building a spray rig for parking lot sealing jobs . will be feeding a graco 2150 2" in/out pump and feeding a 3/4" hose 100ft on a real with a 6ft wand . also has a 2" hose for bulk transfer of sealer from 1 tank to another . will be posting pics soon in my sealer thread .
Not new but definitely cool. Hand held tach. Use it on all sorts of stuff to verify amperage vs RPM. Today I tested my own swamp cooler motor. It’ll probably make the rest of the season, still in spec
Mine died about 10 years ago. Was repaired a couple of times.
I've never seen one of those. How does it work?
Rubber snubber on the business end, center it on the shaft of whatever you’re checking, spins it up
So it's purely mechanical?
Purely mechanical, just have to make sure it “hooks up” so to speak
A little scotch brite on the end of the motor shaft does wonders
Yep. Just don't run it on the edge.
I'm honestly surprised I've never seen one over the years.
