Normally we do auto repair, but today I’m working on my air compressor! The pressure switch was leaking, so it was time for some electric troubleshooting and a quick repair.

I support your opinions on intolerance and hatred which has become so seemingly prevalent in society as a whole. Used to be able to just politely agree to disagree about certain things and treat the person with the differing opinion with respect. You can't even do that anymore , some people fly into a rage over the most simple disagreements. I don't hate anyone but believe in the rule of law, so if someone is or has broken the law they should be dealt with in accordance with the law. To not follow laws brings chaos and anarchy which is a bad place to raise children in.
This is your channel and so you can say what you want on it, I've been enjoying it for years, don't care for politics much but that is less than 1% of the content, heck probably 0.1%. 100% agree there is no place for political violence and anyone celebrating this or any other act of violence really needs have a rethink on their life. I have many friends and acquaintances that have differing views. Some we have a little fun with political banter but because we have sensible human values it is just that, it's like arguing over sports teams. As far as Charly Kirk goes since, I don't listen to political podcasters, I'm more of a business news guy, I didn't know who he was. Yup sorry supper fans prior to that horrific event he was unknown to me. Clearly from the reactions of many he was liked by a segment of the political spectrum, reviled by others. Seems to be the general level of discourse these days for those with their head too far up their politics. I decided to just avoid the whole thing. Snooze Facebook sites for 30 days that were wall to wall coverage and moved on.
I have watched your videos for a long time now, please continue to fight for what is right. you got my support 😊
I’m a gay black conservative. There’s no hate it’s just a justice system. You break a law you go home. You aren’t being executed like other countries but we send you back. This country does need god. And as for trans people. For starters I don’t believe Soldiers that represent our country should be held at different physical fitness requirements. The task of carrying your comrade for miles behind enemy lines doesn’t change whether you are a male or female. And if you believe your a girl or dude is fine and all but keep to the civilian life. Our kids shouldn’t even have that choice, not until they are at least an adult making their own choices.
Just put a shelf drain in or one with a pull cord
Sad part about our society is if we’re silence it is assumed we agree… so I am glad you spoke your constitutional right to express your opinion, i pray for your continued success and safety for your business and more importantly your family
I didn't realize you thought the civil rights act was bad….
I believe any killing is horrific, but in the same breath kirk was not a good person and he spewed hate. I am trans and he did not believe in my rights. Out of his own mouth he said that innocent children, immigrants and ALL other being killed is o worth while consequence just so we can keep the 2nd amendment. I own guns so I am not against them, but he is the consequence of his own rhetoric. So I will not mourn him, but in the same breath I do not condone his murder. Personally I thought he was an A-Hole and I am entitled to my opinion.
That clamp looks like for armored wire
You and I may not share political views but I respect your right to yours and the education of the conversation. You are an amazing diagnostician and a great teacher. Thank you for showing the process and even more so for being you.
Kinda weird how im not getting notifications when your videos drop
You should do more small repair tasks around the shop. Great content
Do no harm, check mate. Politicians these days do too much harm. Like parasites they feed off of innocence and pervert young minds.
We got your back Ray
Appreciate any content from ya
You’re very welcome, and thank you for sharing your videos
The left are a religious group. They want to believe their version of reality ( their god ). And when someone rejects it, they get defensive. though, in their religion. Such blasphemy is punishable by mass hate, violence and possibly permanent removal.
Communists. Got to love em.
I stand with you Ray!
Ray, we are still here mate. Do not accept evil, it's getting worse.
I'm with you brother! We are a unique country where our voice and actions control and decide the future of it. Being silent got us to where we are today and a very small population has been loud maken many believe that was the majority views but it is not the case. Speak up stand for what you believe and for what is right we all must do so while bettering our own lives showing others the way and the possibilities
According to the well driller I worked for it is a no-no to wire brush threads with a wire wheel, it makes the threads smaller. I solved my teflon tape problem by rounding them all up and putting them on a long hook on my pegboard above my work bench. I think I found 10 or 12 rolls!
I knew it all along where you stand.
Love your work, you prove that there are good Americans.
There are extremists on both sides of the aisle who are responsible for 99 % of the ugliness.
did you put back the plastic shield?? in side of the powerbox.
Just remember teflon roll always goes clockwise on ur pipe threads.
You need a auto drain. It’s not to expensive and you tank will thank you.
Every person that celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination has never seen a single one of his videos.
Good modification for the compressor is an auto drain. Easy instal and will save you a receiver over time. Polytetrafluoroethylene tape is always what you call it,,,,,,,,,to the apprentice! 😅
Pissing about with cover off while the thing is live is not good either dude. 😮
Haha! My brain gets turned around when using Teflon tape too!
Not even sure you made it to my days-late reply to the earlier post, but since you indirectly responded to me, I will address this counterpoint.
I would never ask you to disavow any of the values you supported here. I agree family is important and integrity is essential. If this is what Kirk meant to you, so be it, and more power to it.
I don’t know you outside these videos, so I will accept your statement that you don’t hate gays/immigrants/etc. as evidence of same. I think you sidestepped the real concerns when confronted with some of the less comfortable statements he made, but perhaps in your place I would see it as a diplomatic exit. Thank you for emphasizing the values you shared while distancing yourself from his more noxious statements. I hope to continue enjoying auto repair content with an upbeat attitude towards the work, and I hope we can all soon enjoy seeing the restoration of a society that works together for our mutual benefit despite the fascists and white supremacists currently running rampant in our government.
Dont worry about leftoids. They declare anyone a nazi who do not agree with them.
Ray, you’ve earned the respect of so many. It’s all to easy for people to just follow the “popular” opinion. Stand up for your values. They are the values the country should all aspire to. Be blessed
Dude, how can you support Charlie Kirk (who is a hater and a bigot) and still claim to be open-minded? That don't work, bro. You ARE influenced by that guy's vile hate-filled speeches, whether you realize it or not. And if you want to be Christian, stay away from provocateurs like Charlie Kirk. He is definitely NOT Christian, whatever he says.
the biggest mistake when applying tape is they do not put enough on
Face shield protects from flying wires on spinning wire wheel….
We Thank You for standing up! I’m proud of you! That’s what makes us stronger ! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You coud fit a water level trap trap on the botom of your compressor to release the water in the compressor tank
Ray, I am surprised you haven't installed an automatic drain on the compressor. It was one of the best things I've done, and it will help ensure years of use rather than rusting the tank out.
GOD best you
Ray, raise that compressor up and install an automatic water drain. You should be draining this compressor on a daily basis anyway. You live in a "high humidity" region, failure to drain that compressor on a regular basis only shortens the life of the tank. Last thing you want is that tank to decide it's time to "discharge" in an extremely rapid motion… explosion.
Well Ray, that's why it's called the 1st amendment, we all have the right to speak our minds, even disagree with each other. But, NO ONE has the right to take the life of another just because they disagree. Haters however, they're going to hate regardless. What I do hate is those that celebrate the death of another. If said death happened to them, they themselves wouldn't be celebrating, they'd be causing riots instead. Just sayin. Cheers 🙂
Ray, I have been watching you since you were employed by the other shop that let you go. I want to tell you that I am pleased you had the internal fortitude to speak against the violence regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk and the discourse that our country has allowed for far too long. Good job and I will continue to support you and your channel.
Standing with you 100% We are on the RIGHT side
Hi Ray. European here. You do have every right to defend your points of view, but what puzzles me is that we didn't see the same kind of reaction when Melissa Hortman was slaughtered last June. She belonged to what Trump calls the radical left, so maybe this is the reason that you chose not to react.
I sincerely hope that you agree with me that nobody deserves to be killed because of their opinions.
Keep up the good work and hi to Lauren and the kids.
Ray, I wished I lived closer to have you work on my cars. I enjoy my own wrenching, but sometimes there are things that you just either don't have the equipment for or the time. I don't have anyone like you near me that I would trust. You do you, boo! We are behind you.
@RainmanRaysRepairs I believe that cable clamp can be flipped left to right so the smaller diameter clamp can hold that small wire of yours. The one it is currently sat in I think is for larger diameter or larger flat cable.
I'm back Raymond there's no way id ever leave your channel. I been here before you went on your own and because you stand on your beliefs I'm still here the haters hate because your right they can't handle the truth. I give you great thanks for standing up for your beliefs because it's the right thing to do!!🙏🙏🙏💯💯
The only opinion that matters is God's.
That should set them people off.
Enjoy your videos, Ray. Keep on.
You should keep your show about auto repair and less about politics and beliefs!
That flex pipe is likely the unloaded valve to relieve pressure on the head to allow for easier starting
