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 didn't have a 1-1/16 so I looked at using a 1-1/8 and was not happy with the loose fit. But I did have a 27MM from a fuel injector project and it fit reasonably well. The rod was not tightened too much and the threads were covered with teflon tape, so no excessive force was necessary.

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.

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.

Hello, That's a great question. If there is a 3/16" that would be better. I'm sorry but we don't have that size though just the 1/4" and 1/8". Thank you, Bruce

I would go smaller then 1/2 x 5/8 it would look funny , that's the tubing size im going to use , im going a hardline some people go even bigger but its just over kill. This size will work great and look good

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.

5/16" . If you use 3/8" you may want a hose clamp. It is NOT 1/4" between the pump and manifold. You use 1/4" beyond the manifold.

I used 3/8" but I am certain it will accept 1/2". These things are pretty sturdy - I was using them as force mulitpliers to pull down a tree and they did not pose any problems. My "pulley" background includes sailing tackle, and while they're not like a $100 main sheet pulley, they're pretty fn good

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.

1/8" NPT is the gauge thread size. Be aware that no dimension on 1/8" NPT (Pipe thread) is actually 1/8" inch -- it is a bit larger. Yes it is an excellent idea to replace with a 2" gauge with a quality gauge with more reasonable range; the provided rubber guard will fit most 2" gauges.

Yes 1/4" and 3/8" refers to hose size not connector. Larger hose just flows air better. I actually have both and it works well with either one. But I am not a contractor doing speed work. Your compressors ability to keep up will be more noticeable than hose size.

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.

If this is the 18ga nailer, then 1"-2" is what I usually use. You might get 5/8" or 3/4" also.

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!

It depends on length of the run as well. Look online and there are good resources to help you determine if 1/2" is adequate for your job. I decided against using it at my house because I am in lightening alley in Florida and I did not like the pictures I found of appropriately grounded hose getting blown out.

I purchased the 3/8" version and it holds my rope light firmly in place. My rope light is outdoors subject to heavy winds at times and i have had no issues.
