I found them on this site… Good thinking, I’ve never considered the couplers could be holding my air tools back. I might get a set and see if it makes a difference.

I used to do website design a while back- My only suggestions would be to have a picture of the front of your shop on your homepage so people can relate your name with seeing the shop itself. Other than that I’d just clean up capitalization on the state and address and maybe add whatever pictures of current or recent projects you’ve had, and what King Meander said- add whatever certifications you have and insurance info, but overall it looks good to me. Congrats on the new shop!

2012 Ford Fusion SE 2.5 Auto 24k miles
Love this car. I drive 100+ miles every work day so I needed something that was good on gas, reliable and comfortable. Its a great car so far. Microsoft Sync is nice too. Plenty of pickup for a 4cylinder.2004 Ford Explorer XLS 4.0 Flex Fuel 4×4 152k miles
This thing wont die. Its been totalled and rebuilt with a salvage title. I’ve towed quite a bit, driven through countless major storms for hours in 4wd. It took me to the hospital at 110mph when my mom had a heart attack and got me out of my driveway in 30″ of snow and I’ve even fit a full size 20 cubic foot fridge in it with the hatch closed. I’d buy another in a heart beat. I’ve had 0 major mechanical issues with it. It was almost all maintenance. Only con is gas mileage- it averages about 17-19mpg.1999 Ford F250 SC XLT Flat Bed 4×4 5.4 V8 W/8′ Fisher MM2 126k miles
Its a hell of a plow truck….But I probably wouldnt buy another. I’ve only owned it for 6 months as an unregistered, plow/yard truck and I’ve had a brake line blow, abs issues and a trans cooler line leak. Its ok for a yard truck, but its been higher maintenance than my other vehicles and it only drives a few miles a month depending on snowfall and yard work.2012 Ford Fusion SE 2.5 Auto 24k miles

Personally I use synthetics because I drive 2000+ miles a month on my daily driver and tow and plow with my other vehicles. Whether it helps and is worth it is up for debate, I think it is for me at least…

Saw this a few days ago…I think this guy is in the running. Definitely impressive that its not even a diesel. Over 1 million on a gas F250.

I too own cheaper tools and I’m looking for a better set for DIY work. I’ve had some good luck with ebay and consignment shops. I picked up a nice snap on 3/8 ratchet last week in good shape for 1/3 of the tool truck cost.

Thanks for the reply. My only experience was on my 99 F250 plow truck where the line completely blew suddenly and I found I had no brakes at all when plowing into a snow bank (luckily not on the highway), but maybe I’ll just keep an eye on them. I didn’t really realize how big of a deal it is to replace them. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. Yes we live in central Mass and I don’t have a garage, definitely in the rust belt. I’ve replaced the brake fluid a few times and I’ve bled the lines a few times as well. The frame isn’t rusty, but I haven’t really checked the lines recently. I’ll take a look, but replacing the rubber hoses is probably a good start I guess.
