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

I would suggest the 10" because the OD is the important dimension, once its squeezed down it will become 10 3/8".

I've found that generally whatever the loom size says, it's usually the outer diameter. I can't check at the moment what the actual outer diameter of the 1/2" loom is, but I'd recommend that you go 1 size higher. So for 1/2" loom, you would want to get 5/8" clamps.

Actually its 1/2 inch not 1/4 inch, and 1/2 inch is very common.A set of 1/2 inch sockets is rather cheap, just get one that has one that fits your lugs.Physics, the longer the bar, the easier it is to apply force..Its much less strain on your body to just lean your weight on this thing to get things done, 4 way bars always require strain.

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

I use a 1/4 inch hose with no issues. I have only used it for small projects but recovery is very fast so I would predict no issues with either.

It might work, but it depends on the rubber line's inside diameter. 3/4 inch would probably work fine. 1/2 inch would probably run the generator but you might find it "starved" under heavy load conditions.

I use my 3/8 on the job working on heavy equipment, it's a great tool. I think the 3/8 is a great choice for home use also.

Up to 7/16" use a 3/8 shank. 1/2 and 9/16 use 1/2" shank. 5/8 and 11/16 use a 5/8" shank. 3/4 uses a 3/4" shank.

Strictly speaking as an amateur: 3/4" pipe is fine for an average household fun. Be sure to use the gas-type pipe thread tape or liquid sealer, and check for leaks. Believe the unit comes with a standard 110VAC plug, and that is low amperage. Unit works like a champ and the Takagi folks I communicated with were very helpful. Be sure the exhaust vents properly so that you have no (odorless) CO accumulation!

Knowing how the base pump suctions with the 3/4 line that I have connected to the pump I would not go from 1/2 from 3/4 as I believe this will significantly decrease the suction power of the pump. I myself was thinking to go from 3/4 to 1" but after long thought decided against it as I doubted it will increase suction and might actually decrease it.

I've heard of people using both these types of connectors. Personally I get good results with the 1/4" and they're generally less messy though bulkier. The kind with right-angle plugs can save space when that's an issue.

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.

I'm sure the 3 inch would be fine, I have the 2 1/2 in. I like it very much.

1/4" is all you need. Keep in mind even at low water pressure a fair amount of water comes out of this system. You cannot run this for too long and sit underneath unless you don't mind getting a little moist.

3/8" is far more versatile than 1/2". 1/2" is more for really heavy duty work. The 3/8" version of this tool was powerful enough to remove the wheel hub bolts from my car, and those are notoriously difficult to remove.
