Suffered a flood a little over a week ago. My whole 5 acres was under 2-3 feet of water. Our home (a mobile) survived more or less unscathed, but the garage took a major hit. Some of my hand tools tools took a dunking, but a good wipe down, and a shot of WD-40 should set them to right. Some of my power tools however, have me worried. We were in the process of remodeling so there were no work benches, and a lot of the tools were on the floor. My MIG welder was on its cart so no problem there. My ARC welder however is another story. Totally submerged!!! The same goes for my portable air compressor, and my H/F bench mount sander which was new and still in the box.
I'm planning to do a quick disassembly, blow them dry with a borrowed compressor, and then a good dousing with some electrical contact cleaner. Any suggestion, "Yay" or "Nay"? I do realize that my air compressor will require a little more attention with an oil change at the very least!
My other worry is my steel supply, namely 240' of 1" square tubing. Wipe it dry, blow it out, and re-oil? Or, is more required?
