Thanks for serving and stay safe over there James so you can come back and drive your "gonna feel like a new"truck!!

I bet you like that air compressor! I got a 60 gallon ingersoll rand air compressor that I use almost every day. Those things save all kinds of time!

I haven't really been able to use it all that much. I need to buy air tools. When I get them air tools, I know I'll think "how did a live without them!"

Lol, very true. Everytime I can buy an air tool to do the job, I do, just to use that air compressor. Heck, I have a pneumatic caulking gun that I've only used twice... but it sure beats a regular caulking gun!

I see the air-powered grease guns, and think "who really needs that?" Knowing full well, I'd probably buy it, and love it.

+1 James. Thanks again!

Dang I only got a 10 gallon! It does everything I want. I have alot of air tools too, but I hate to run the compressor to loud for the baby. And by doing it all by hand you save your self a trip to the gym.

.... and give yourself carpal tunnel at the same time :P

Yeah, for some reason the smaller compressors are louder than the bigger ones. My 60 gallon air compressor is actually a lot quieter than my buddy's portable 10 gallon. It's quiet enough to have a conversation next to it while its running. But yeah, a 10 gallon wouldn't do it for me cause I need something that can keep up with an air sander and grinder (they use a LOT of air). Thats the downside to doing body work... you need more air.

That's exactly the rationale I use to convince myself it's ok to skip the gym. Wrenching all day at work and such.

Ive got 6 friends over seas right now. And probably 90% of my basic buddies. I broke both my legs in airborne, so I didnt get to go. Stupid crappy chutes.

Keep safe bro. The only useful soldier is one who lives to the end of the day.
