ISTR the instructions with my hoist said to have the cylinder retracted and vertical, and fill to the level of the hole. I don't believe it's especially critical, too little oil will just limit how

Not certain, but I think you were looking at the 'small' set and most American cars do not use 7/16". Menard's may not carry the 'large' set, but Sears, NAPA, etc. should have it. My Sears even carr

No reason valve float would be any more likely with the 2-stroke setup. The valves don't move any faster, they just move every revolution instead of every other revolution. I dunno, have you priced

Actually there's a shortcoming (IMO) of the reversible set. At least the GearWrench ones have a strengthening web across one side of the 'socket', which means you cannot slip them past a nut, or use

I believe you're right, but it's not "over the counter" at any Sears (you'll pay shipping at least one way and have to wait a month or more for a replacement), and probably doesn't cover abuse. Rand

Even assuming you just vent the excess air rather than starting and stopping the motor, a tank still allows you to operate tools that take more air than the compressor supplies, and also provides a

I specifically asked at Sears, and was told that they would not handle warranty issues for the non-Craftsman GearWrenches. Since this is the only reason the Craftsman ones cost more, I'm inclined to

The air tank provides a buffer in effect, between the compressor that either runs at full output or not at all, and the air tool that draws varying amounts of air, almost certainly not exactly the c

True, true. OTOH, at least now you know how often you would use a buffer, so you can better justify buying a good one next time. The HF polisher I bought last year hasn't been out of the box yet ...
