1/2" or 3/8 ?? I want to make a 4' loop and pull at least 50 lbs constant pressure. Which would you recommend. I will need a handful of these loops.

3/8 should work fine, if you want more piece of mind, use the 1/2 cord. I am amazed at the strength of the 3/8 red cord.

I have a 3/4 inch pipe coupled to mine and tried to stall it by gripping with both hands. Couldn't, it had too much torque, but may be too small for your job. Ernie Bruce

A 3/8" socket is usually all that is needed for everyday repairs. The 1/2" is for larger projects such as taking head bolts from an automobile motor's heads to remove and replace the heads. I bought both the 3/8 and the 1/2" drive ratchets and like them both. A 1/4" rachet is for more delicate jobs. I rarely use one, myself. Buy with confidence, my friend.

The 3/8" unit is more accurate in the lower range that the 1/2" unit. However, both units are more accurate in their mid and upper ranges than their lower ranges--but still pretty fair. Use the unit you buy to test and adjust your wrench, then use the wrench. Accuracy is more critical on parts such as engine heads, main caps, connecting rod caps, etc. So, keep this in mind.

My personal experiences are with a 3/8" synthetic. I can't say with certainty, but according to the description on Amazon you're good.

I used 1/2" pipe for everything and had no problems at all. This is a great product.

This kit DOES NOT include 1/4 inch. It starts at 3/8 and goes up to 3/4. However, I have bent 3/16 and 1/4 with it and it did not collapse the tubing. Depending on the radius you need and the depth of bend might result in a collapse. What's nice is the dies are made of a somewhat flexible material which minimizes the chance of a collapse. If you bend a lot of 1/4 tubing I would check into the other kits available. Otherwise if you bend many different sizes and only occasionally 1/4 this would do the job.

The 1/2 inch is referring the the drive that the socket attaches to. As for the hose skip the 1/4 hose and fittings and use 3/8 filing and 1/2 hose. There is much more airflow and power to be had when using them.

Do not use 1/2 inch pipes, you will get better results with the wider pipe. Do not use plastic/PVC piping, use copper.

3/32" is narrower than 1/8" (4/32"), so you can use 3/32 cogs or chainrings with a 1/8 chain, but not the other way round; consequently, I use a 1/4" chain just to be on the safe side.........and it runs smoothly and quietly.

It may be 1/2 flow but 3/4 inch threading.... Like when you measure PVC pipe it's the size of the inner diameter, not the outside, so 1" is slightly larger than 1"

I would use 3/8". You will need to purchase a barbed tube fitting 3/8" tube x 1/2 npt

For me, I use 3/8" tooling. I think this is too small to see any benefit from the rigidness of 1/2", and the 1/4" requires a pretty big shim. 3/8" gets my toolpoint pretty close to centerline, with minimal shims. I eventually went to a QCTP, primarily to eliminate the time required shim/align the cutter to centerline, but still use the 3/8" shanks.

I'd use a 4/0 or 5/0 ...but, you'd need to use a bullet weight/slip sinker, unless you're going to try to go weightless....and, I would peg the sinker...a 4.5" tube is a BIG tube!

If I were using 3/4 stock, I would use the blue set. I bought this specifically to use with less than 3/4 i.e. 1/2 or 5/8.

I believe the 1/4 or 3/8 refers to the inside diameter of your hose. You can buy fittings to repair smashed hose ends and the fittings themselves (threads) are the same size no matter what the inside diameter of the hose is. You can also buy a universal fitting which will work on both sizes. All of this is of no concern when using a quick disconnect as the quick disconnect attaches to the hose fitting. However, you can buy quick disconnects in different sexes so pay attention to what you are buying. This is what I did... Attached the main body of a brass quick disconnect to my pressure washer, attached the male quick disconnect insert piece, included with quick disconnect, to my hose (this can be flipped around), and repaired my damaged hose end with a 3/8 brass fitting. Now I just simply plug in my hose and turn on the water, it is completely leak tight! All parts can be obtained at your local hardware store. Hope this helps.

I used mine to torque the barrel nut on my AR 15 - little more the 30 LB psi. It worked fine. I had the 1/2, don't know about the 3/8.
