Domain Tools

I am using my air tools for the first time and I have no oil. They gave me a small sample of oil for it but not a lot. To me it looked remotely like veg oil. my question is can i use vegetable Oil to keep my air tools running?

You paid good money for your air tool – treat it with respect and give it the oil it needs. You can pick it up in most big stores, to include WalMart. Oil is not oil in the scheme of what your thinking….you could justify using it in your vehicle, but you know you won’t. Get out there get what you need and continue that project. Good luck.

I received a woodworking tool kit for Christmas, with turning tools, chisels, and files. Does anyone know what type of wood is good for a beginner to carve?
And where I might get a chunk of it? (I live in the desert)

Thanks a bunch!

i’m a commercial sign carver… any kind of tight grained wood will do. if your tools are sharp then it should make little difference if the wood is pine, cedar, oak etc.
you learn to "read" wood, with a little experience. boxwood and other exotics is expensive. better to invest in good quality sharpening equipment and buy junk wood.

Does any one know a good site to buy a discount professionals tool boxes/ roller chest. Exp Matco, Snap-on… ?

I’m guessing that most people just run down to their local Auto Zone or a similar car parts store if they are searching for truck accessories. But is that really the best place to buy these things? After all, they do kind of have a Wal-Mart mentality. Basically all you are going to get is poor service from somebody that hates their job. You might find competitive prices though.

I am going to soon be building up my own toolbox and am not too familiar with the different brands’ quality and dependability. Do you prefer Craftsman, Husky, Ryobi, Makita, Stanley, Workforce etc. or something else. A combination? Hand tools of one, power tools of another? I think you get the idea. Thank you for your consideration.

There are a lot of tools to choose from.
I have a lot of Milwaukee and delta and I really like by Bosch jig saw.
I don’t think workforce tools are so hot. The sears tools are fairly good too. The point is most of the top brands are good tools. The trick is to find the tool that fits you best.
For example I have a 12 volt battery drill. They make more powerful ones but they do not feel good in my hand. The balance is all wrong with big bulky batteries and if I have extra duty holes to drill I reach for the 1/2 Milwaukee Hole Shooter or the hammer drill.
A good tool should be an extent ion of your body and a good tool will out preform and out last the cheap one.
Go to all the stores and check them out. Call the rental stores and see what they are using. You will see they use Bosch and Milwaukee quite a bit.
For stationary power tools I prefer Delta.
For mechanical tools I prefer Snap On, Craftsman and S&K in that order. Mac tools are good but we don’t have a local driver that I know of.
And don’t for get the tool boxes. Metal ones are best but make sure there is plenty of room for extra blades, bits and adjustment tools. Extra tool boxes for attachments are a good idea too. Keep your tools in good shape and don’t lend them out.

connects to starter so you can start vehicle while working underneath

I have 50 years experience working on cars and have never started the engine while working underneath of the car. I don’t recommend it. When you need to start a car and you can’t do it, have a friend help you.

I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler 4dr and I was trying to remove the carpet, which requires the removal of the seats. They have nuts and bolts holding them down, but was hoping to see if there was a tool that was electric that could unscrew them for me, because they are tight. Thanks

They are torqued down due to the fact they are part of the safety system of the car. It will take an air driven ratchet to remove them. And should be put back in at the same torque level to restore the same safety level.

i want to use thos tools while the boat in water without taking it off water

yes you can the air pressure will keep the water out of the tools. I would however strongly recommend against this Idea if you grind too deeply or find a weak spot in the hull you will then have to deal with the flooding in your boat or worse salvaging ouch!!!. Also after you use the tools be sure to wash them out with clean fresh water and then lube any pistons or bearings to prevent corrosion or seizing.

I really what to know difference between power tools and ordinary tools .Is it specially design to do some special kind of work or it is of full power as the word describes ??

The term "power tool" designates any hand held tool which is not souly operated by manual power. Power tools are generally considered to be portable and light weight, such as circular saws,belt sanders,cordless drills,routers and etc. Table saws, drill presses, band saws and the like are considered to be floor machinery or light machinery. Basically any "electrical Driven–lite weight–hand held tool"is labeled as a "POWER TOOL". Hope this answers you’re question.

Builder only please and not electricians or works of steel.

hammer, shovel, spanners, concrete mixer, drill, router, circular saw, jigsaw, clamps, screwdrivers

etc etc

I bought a kit from Walmart but realized that after i bought the blasted thing that I had to have more parts to even use those tools and after reading some reviews i heard the tools are worth crap so i am taking them but today and I’m back in the market for some good air tools….

Chicago Pneumatic are the best you can get
