    Picked up 3 LED spot pods. Kind of surprised they use CREE LEDs. They are pretty decent for the price (on sale for 19.99 right now). Will work great on the trails.

    I have the HF 21 gallon compressor that had the oil in the middle of the circle to tell you it's full. Before I Fluid Filmed my truck today I noticed the oil was over the circle, so I had to drain some to get it back to the full mark.

    Does the oil level change on the 21-gallon compressor with use, the only thing I could think that brought it over the circle to the overfill mark is water?

    Drain it and see.
    Then refill it with new oil of course.

    i work at corporate. We laugh at marketing for their slogans. Fire Sale isn’t really appropriate in California anymore is it?

    I think I figured it out, when I first started using it I didn't have the rubber bumpers on the bottom and realized it would affect the level of the oil. Lucky the motor doesn't seem to be damaged by overfilling it, but I will see if it affects longevity.

    My wife recently bought me this from HFT.

    I suspect it's going to come with a list of honey-do's as well.

    I've only got 1 good arm so this let's me do just about anything...well, except tie my shoes. ;)

    This thing is awesome though, so much easier since I can use my foot.

    I don’t think I’ve got it as bad as my neighbor. Every weekend he’s doing something. Although, it could be a planned strategy cause his wife is one of those who wants to create an HOA just do she can tell people what they can or can’t do. Who in their right mind wants to pay more money every month???

    Damn! That’s a hell of a good idea. I might have to pick one of those up. I could’ve used it 3-4 times in the last month alone. Thanks!
