This was for installing a remote oil filter. The product may work but after finding that it was made in China, I decided to use one that is steel and made in the US. I might use it on a less critical application than my engine oil line.

DP400064AV Campbell Hausfeld Valve Plate Assembly

• Campbell Hausfeld Valve Plate Assembly
• Fits Campbell Hausfeld, Husky, Sears plus others

Product was better than expected. Its an upgraded OEM part. This one is rebuildable. The original as rivited together. Shipping was fast as always. Directions sucked. Take pictures and mark the parts and replace exactly as you remove them. The exploded diagrams are not always correct.

Jet 708119 JMB-UMB-HD Universal Mobile Base

• Sturdy and strong mobile base suitable for industrial grade use
• Adjusts from 24-by-24-to-34-by-34-Inch
• 2 fixed and two swivel locking casters
• Easy assembly
• 1,200-Pound capacity

I own and have used Delta, HTC, Ridgid, Grizzly, and home built mobile stands with $50 casters on each corner, spending up to $300 for an HTC custom built for my MiniMax (with plastic casters by the way). While cast iron or rubber-tired steel casters have their place, plastic has held up just fine for my use (which includes 1/2 the shop with concrete and 1/2 in rough plywood flooring. I frequently negotiate a 1/4" bump between the wood and concrete and also go over a sill to the outside. The Jets have done just fine.

What I like about the Jet, compared to the HTC and others, is that it's easy to back tools against a wall and lock them in place with the Jet. One tip -you do want to secure your tool to the base for maximum stability. A plywood sub-base attached to both the often flimsy open sheet metal base of your tool and then with one bolt through each corner brace of the Jet base removes a lot of flex. Flex is the one limitation of the Jet (it really should get 4.5 stars because of this), but is easily overcome to create a 5 star solution.

I see the price has risen....mine was $79.99 with the free shipping. But this unit is very good. It took all of 3 minutes to put it together and about 10 more to slide it under my Delta 10" Radial Arm Saw. It came with all four corners/casters fully assembled, all I had to do was measure, pull out the spring loaded stops and slide the corners to the desired length on the stretchers. Truly, it could not be easier or quicker! When all four of the casters are locked it does not move unless you put so much pressure against it that they slide on the concrete (which incidentally I did). However, I found that it seemed to need more pressure to slide the saw now with the Jet Base than it did when all I had was the saw sitting on the shop floor.

Best of all, finally, I can put the saw out of the middle of the floor....EASILY!! Highly recommended.

I ordered this base after looking at a number of products. It is a great product. It is sturdy and the assembly uses no tools: it just snaps together. It rolls easily even with 500 lb of machine on it.

The minimum size is listed as 24" X 24" but this is not true. The minimum size is 18". You can make an 18" side by cutting one of the bars is half with a hacksaw. This takes less than ten minutes. Now the two 12" short bars are used to join the short sides. I used this technique to make a base for a band saw with a footprint of about 18" by 30" and it worked very well.

Having a small shop, I get to be creative in using my available space. Over the years I've used many mobile bases for my various equipment some good, others literally dangerous to operate. I use a 500 lb bandsaw. Moving it had been a challenge because it's top heavy, and I had originally mounted it on a flimsy, three-wheeled mobile base. Too many times I came close to tipping it over. For years I knew how to make it safer, but never made the change to a better base... until I got fed up with the dangerous situation. I decided on this heavy duty base, and am glad I did. The assembly instructions were clear and intuitive. I modified my installation to widen the footprint and further reduce the tipping potential. I mounted a 3/4 inch solid-core plywood panel to the base of the saw. I cut it about 6 inches wider (all four sides) than the saw's base, bolted it to the saw base, then bolted the ply to the mobile base. I opted for the heavy duty model, even though the less expensive model would have worked. For me, it's the perfect solution. Soon I'll be replacing my other lesser quality mobile bases with two just like this one.

This takes 2 minutes to assemble. No bag of bolts or screws, and you can put the instructions away! The package has eight pieces: 4 bars, 4 corners, pre-assembled with wheels. The bars simply insert into each side of the corners and you use a spring loaded push pin to lock into place. It couldn't be any easier. This unit is very heavy duty, capable of holding 1200 pounds. Minimum size is 24x24, max size is 34x34. There is about a half inch of clearance, and all 4 wheels are lockable. Two of the wheels have nice levers making it easy to lock and unlock with your foot. The other two wheels can lock with your foot as well, but the locks are on the axle of the wheel (locking caster wheels).

I am using this for a 600 pound, 20 inch Jet planer.

Grip-Rite GR152CM 1.5HP 2 Gallon Twin Tank Compressor

• Oil-free pump
• Pontoon-style tank provides a low center of gravity and reduced tip-over
• Rugged roll cage for jobsite durability
• Recessed gauges
• Extremely quiet and lightweight

I was in the market for a small compressor, initially to run an 18 gauge brad nailer for installing baseboards, but also for future use for cleaning, tire fills and running other air tools I may acquire. I narrowed it down to the Grip-Rite, the 1-gallon Senco and the Makita MAC700.

I was hesitant about the Grip-Rite since there were very few reviews, while the Senco and Makita had many positive reviews. However, the 0.7 CFM output of the Senco mostly limits it to running small nailers or airbrushes, while the Grip-Rite touts a 2.6 CFM output. The MAC700 is likely better built and engineered and only $30 more, but I was put off by its 52 lb weight compared to 39 lbs for the Grip-Rite. For occasional light home use, I didn't want to deal with a heavy, oil-lubed compressor.

The Grip-Rite arrived undamaged in the manufacturers box.

It's compact and smaller than I expected. The sticker says its made in Taiwan, which is a nice surprise as I expected it be Chinese-made.

The instruction manual is simple and clear and includes a detailed parts list. The manual and parts list are also available on their website.

As another reviewer mentioned, there is some swarf loose in the tanks. It could probably be removed by removing the drain valves and using a rare earth magnet taped to a dowel. Not sure it's worth the effort though.

I would certainly not call the unit "extremely quiet" as the marketing blurb does. While it's quieter than my brothers pancake compressor, someone sleeping in the next room probably wouldn't appreciate hearing it. In a detached home with the windows closed, your neighbors likely wouldn't hear it, but in a condo with thin walls, they probably will.

On the plus side, the run times to fill and recover are quite fast. I didn't measure them, but they seem in line with what Grip-Rite claims (50 and 10 seconds IIRC?).

Overall, it seems like a good unit. Time will tell how it holds up.

As a finish carpenter in the field its all about space savings when transporting my tools from job to job. This unit is not as quiet as a thomas but not anywhere as loud as a porter panacake unit. Clients hate the loud noises of a compresor in there finished living area and i never knew how much i appreciated the lesser noise until i got this unit. Its frame on the outside is very durable. I was working on a patio cover and while i was doing my layout the demo crew moved this compressor underneath where they were demoing and i watched a 6"x8"x12' drop right on top of it from 10' high. It bent the tray but the frame cage held up and if i had any other unit it would have been destroyed . The cage is awesome in other words. I use it as a step stool, its light enough to carry in one hand and never misses a beat when firing 2-3 nailers of of it. However im concerned about the longevity of this unit. There are small weld pellets left in the tank that i cant get out that were from when the welded the tank and it creates rust when i drain it at the end of the day. Thats why it has 4 stars but other than that for the price you cant go wrong.

I have owned other small compressors. They have always been noisy. I have had to place something heavy in their path so I didn't have to chase them around the room. The Grip-Rite GR152CM stayed in one place when I turned it on and it was very quiet; for a compressor. An added bonus was the capacity and the quick recovery time.

Great compressor for the DIY homeowner! Easy to use, works great I reshingled my whole (20-square) roof with this and the Ramsond CRN-45 nailer. Very portable with enough power to run just about anything the DIY homeowner needs. Fairly quiet for a compressor, and low-maintenance as it's oil-free. I also use it all the time to top off our car tires (as we live 20 miles from the nearest gas station.)

I needed a compressor to run my HVLP gravity gun. The one I was using is 2 HP and weights 14 lbs but is now a discontinued model. This compressor is great an pretty quiet. I highly recommend it.
