Fluke 8050A, got very lucky, $30 on ebay a few years ago. Plus a few cheapies for convenience and when needing multiple similtaneous readings or measurements not covered by the Fluke.

Anatomy and rehabbing of stompswitch video and how to convert a switch. Take it apart, reshape the switch rockers, reassemble and you're good to go. Need to watch through the whole video to see the latching rockers early on and the momentary rockers at about 8min. Haven't tried this but if Mark says it's so... it's so.

Stainless steel dental pick followed by a short stiff-bristled, dry brush. Cooled flux pops off when prodded with the pick and the brush takes care of the flakes and dust.

Yeah, Harbor Freight has a decent selection and the prices aren't too bad either. A friend of mine bought two from them and he's had them a very Long time. I bought one from Wal-Mart seven years ago and it's still working. Oil-less, so it is a bit loud.

Like previously mentioned, don't forget the moisture filter or you'll be spraying wet powder coating eventually. Also, you do need to drain the water from the compressor tank periodically or it will rust from the inside. Very important!!

Good luck Brian!

Hello, I use my compressor for airbrushing and for that added 50' of hose between the compressor and moisture filter, it's suppose to be enough length to allow the condensation to happen and give the moisture filter a chance to do it's job, otherwise the water could still condense out after the filter. Also added an oil filter at the end of the line.
