What new tools have you got lately?

[Snoots]

It's very universal. Great for panels, bezels, mouldings, etc.

Might be useful for shucking oysters.

This Quincy compressor pump came with my Ingersoll Rand T30. PO said it was making noise. Disassembled it, then gave up. Waiting to hear back from the local Quincy rep to see if parts are available.

hopefully you can get it back working, I got this one from my father in-law, He obtained it from the old Mobil gas station in McCloud CA. Looks like used up but it doesn't leak and works fine. I have had it for 22 years.

I definitely want to get it going. It’s a heavy piece of iron for sure.

Is yours an Ingersoll Rand T30?

The package stated that.

I will have to find the label, so I can answer. It's a beast.

Took me a minute to find the tag, if it wasn't so heavy I'd move it so I can clean it up and figure out the leak.

Now you got me started on something @Frankenchevy 'damn it" I'm gonna have to drag this thing out and clean it up. And get a rebuild kit "yes they still make them"!!

Based on the nameplate in your image, this Quincy Model 212 air compressor appears to be a vintage unit, likely manufactured between the 1940s and 1960s.
While the serial number "7598 L" does not follow modern digital date-coding (where the first two digits typically indicate the year), several historical clues point to its age:

• Manufacturing Location: The plate lists "Quincy, ILL. U.S.A." as the manufacturing site. While the company still maintains a presence there, they expanded operations to Bay Minette, Alabama, in 1980.
• Design & Serial Style: The low serial number and the simplified "No. 212-2" model designation are consistent with Quincy's mid-century production. Later models transitioned to longer, 7-digit serial numbers (e.g., 332162L).
• Model History: The Model 212 is a classic single-stage reciprocating pump that was a staple of Quincy's line for decades. Modern versions of this pump (often part of the QR-25 series or similar) have been updated, but the "Size 2 ½ X 2 ½" specification has remained a standard for this displacement size.

that’s awesome to see something from that era putting in work! I wonder what year mine is from… perhaps pre-1980 based on the move from Illinois.

I've got my Dads Craftsman 1 horse 20 gal still he bought in 1970, replaced the motor, safety valve and rebuilt the compressor but the tank is still holding air...knock on wood...

Keep the tank dry so you can pass it on to your family.

Air compressor, 2T engine hoist, 1T engine stand, lowrider jack… Wife has been busy, so has “ought as well be our daughter” ordering “stuff” so I can fix “their” trucks…

Just got my new cordless fan and variable speed 900ft lb. (supposedly) 1/2" impact wrench Dewalt 20v compatible from Temu, both for $78. They were tested and work great, air moves quite well and lugnuts came off. Now I know a lot of you poopoo on Chinesium products and we all know Dewalt isn't 100% Made in USA. but since I'm an occasional wrencher and don't have deep pockets, these will work out nice. Temu has not disappointed me. Only one time I got a bad battery, contacted them, got refunded immediately, bought two more batteries with the refund then disposed of the bad one. Dewalt would have ran me almost $400 so that wasn't happening. Quite pleased.

As soon as I'm done bleeding money on my C10, I'll be ordering a Temu dash pad for my '05. A few friends have ordered them and say the fit and color is perfect. Lots of good stuff on Temu apparently

Picked up a little while ago when it was $100 off

I do that regularly plus check the oil since it looks like a dirty oil rag! I found that it was built in 1949. The No. 212-2 is model # 212 with record of change "ROC" 2. There were 4 versions of the 1st ROC which they started building in 1940. That piston and head unit is the same to this day. The company sent me the manual, part's list, and tank certification. The contact that reached out told me call anytime for information about rebuilding it. 76 years old and still kicking! I had no Idea, Thanks @Frankenchevy
