Re: Newest Toy
Great for inflating tires, blowing off water after a wash, blowing out the air filter.... the list goes on!

Re: Newest Toy
:drool: But this is just the beginning. Soon you will discover the wonderful world of pneumatic tools. Then, one day you will come home to find that your new pneumatic drill needs a bigger compressor, so...
I managed to stop with a brad nailer. Good luck!

Re: Newest Toy
Alan is more likely to hook up a compressor to a pipe organ and entertain his neighbors.

Re: Newest Toy
I'm having enough trouble just mastering Putting Air In Tires. It's a bitch to get to the nipple on the Strat. Finally got it worked out on the front, still haven't tackled the back. Took me some effing around to get the hose attached. Learned that the connections aren't worth shit without some teflon pipe tape.
I've got a whole garage full of neat tools i lost interest in (table saw, routing table, miter saw, etc.) so I've lost a bit of the tool bug. I focus nearly all of my puttering on the piano at this point. But I'd be interested in a farkle with a flexible air input doo-jigger and a built-in pressure gauge if amy of you mechanical types can recommend one. Two major plusses to having the air in the garage: Tires are cold when checking pressure AND, more importantly, tailpipe (and brake discs) is ALSO not skin blistering hot, when effing around under there.

Re: Newest Toy
A flexible air dealie with a guage will probably be best found at an industrial or mechanical supply house. Take a ride and tour 3 or 4 stores some afternoon. A big plus for cool tires and pipes. Our vehicles sleep in the shade and there are a couple 12 volt compressors available. I can plug into the car,truck or either bike with ease.
