[TheForge] Air cylinders

Sat Jul 13 07:09:00 2002

        Steve,   What did you buy the air cylinder for?  and air hammer?
What was the size vs price so as to compare it to McMaster Carr or another
manufacturer in reguards to mass produced items like they carry.  Was the
cylinder you purchased steel or aluminum barrel?
        If this was a special order item needing to be manufactured custom,
I would then say we can't compare soup to nuts here.  Do they have a line
sheet of the products they carry or is it all custom to fit orders?
        Just curious as I buy a fair amount of this type of gear and I'm
wondering a bit more on the "quite satisfied" part.
        Another question for you would be:  Are these the folks that make
the Blackhawk porta powers for body work?
