                        What model Badger is it? The 200 series has a TEflon washer between the head and body. When this washer gets flattened so that it doesn't seal properly you'll start to get that pulsation. The instructions say to loosen the head if the airbrush is to be stored for a while, but they don't emphasize that fact.

                        Tell me that you're kidding about not having heard of snap-on tools. They're just a high end tool maker basically. Like Mac or or or, ummmm, Craftsman or whatnot. They're good, but any good tool is good for that matter.

                        How's the house business coming along Chris? I'm supposed to close on my new one either Friday or Monday, depending on when all the paperwork gets finished and everything comes together.

                        Does anyone have a brand new refrigerator and washer/dryer combo they want to give me for free?

                        Here is their web site.
                        http://www.snapon.com/

                        They are really big with race enthusiasts and such for their tools.
                        Heavy equipment Master Mechanics such as my Dad was and my younger brother is now, both preferred Mac or Proto for their line of work.

                        i'm blessed josh. its doing well my friend.

                        honestly, i've never heard of snap-on tools!!! i can build most anything someone can come up with as far as residential dwellings go, but put a wrench in my hand and i'm a total spastic!!Disapprove [V]Disapprove [V] throw some engine questions my way and my brain becomes pudding. i don't have the first inkling about vehicles. all i want to know is how to put the key in the ignition and when i turn it, hopefully it cranks and the gas needle is registering some gas.LOL. maintenance lights pop on and i'm in a panic!! later.


                        Well, if it makes you feel better, I'm not a very good auto mechanic, but I'm not a good carpenter either. I'm going to have to learn a good deal of that kind of thing in the near future. I have a feeling I'd be good at it, as it would fill my need to do things right. I have a pretty strong degree of perfectionisim in my makeup, I'd bet good money you do as well.

                        its a sad thing to know that i'm a redneck in the heart of where nascar was born and i've never heard of snap-on tools!!! oh well, i just never have gotten into tinkering with engines and such nor do i intend to begin.LOL. i'll stick to my profession and leave the machanic work to someone else. thanks for enlightening me fellows. later.

                        ps. oh yeah josh, i'm totally eat up with perfectionism in certain areas!! it makes you better at what you do, but it can get in the way at times. later.
