If you're talking about that massive 1.5" impact swivel...no way! It's way too heavy. It would pop out of gear with every bump you hit, and play hell with your syncro's!

Got a new full face respirator for polishing, 3M Ultimate FX, this thing is very nice, but the "latches" are very stiff right now.

I liked my magicring ball headed allen Wiha's so I got the SAE set of them. I also got a set of the magic ring torx and ball headed torx. Both scare me a little and I wonder how well they will work, if it wouldn't be for them being from Wiha I wouldn't have gotten them, but their stuff has impressed me.

Love those 3M respirators, they're great. I use one with 'organic' filters while welding and can't smell a thing.

A little different "tool" but they just finished installing our new Lube/DEF/Waste oil setup today. Turned out nice. Switched to a better company with better products, all Chevron Delo now.

Well I apologize for only adding comments to this thread instead of pictures, but. I didn't know those racks could handle THAT much weight :scared: How much does each tote weigh when it's full?

Pallet racking can hold insane amounts of weight when spec'd right, look at how much is stacked on the stuff in warehouses.

Oil is not super heavy but washer fluid and antifreeze both are as is DEF even though it is on the floor.

Even so there is no more than 3000lbs on each shelf. Each side column is rated for 18,000lbs in the configuration we have it set at which put the first beam high off the ground. If we put a beam at 36" off the ground they would each be rated for over 38,000lbs. Each beam is rated for 12,000lbs each. That would mean 24,000lbs per shelf or 48,000lbs total.

Needless to say I am not worried, but years back before I knew anything about pallet racking I had the same doubts as you.

Cool, thanks for answering. That is a deceiving amount of strength for racks that don't really look that substantial.

Sunex 21mm, 22mm, and, 24mm 1/2" drive swivel sockets.



Matco had a BOGO deal on there 16" needle nose pliers. I traded in an old/broke Gearwrench long needle nose, so the set ended up costing me, $81. Not a bad deal.

Finally pulled the trigger and got this new snappy krsc33, I'm not one that likes change especially after the junk Mac cart that scarred me.so it's going to take a while before I break in and love it, for right now I like it and seems to have great maneuverability.

You talk about the ratings of the actual steel I assume but what can those pins that lock it in place hold? You know those bolts/pins whatever you call them that stick out and slide into the holes on the columns. I would be concerned about them not the actual steel columns and beams themselves. All the weight is resting on those pins.

The ratings are for the beam, I would assume it includes the pins. Im not worried about them either, They are built as strong as the rest. Again engineering over material. Look at a rotary lift versus a cheaper model. The cheaper one has more steel and is larger but does that make it better?.


The main reason I have no worries is due to the amount of installs they have done this way. They out a lot more weight on them in other shop setups with no issues. They design and build lube systems daily.

In our warehouse, ours are put together with standard 1/2" Grade 5 bolts. The stickers on them say they are good for 8800lbs per shelf. The pallets of drinks you see are 2100lbs each.
A typical Grade 5 bolt is rated for just under 15,000lbs shear strength. I'm fine with that. 4 bolts can lift your typical tractor-trailer ;)

I'll throw in my .02. We put 2,000lb boxes of chocolate on those pallet racks and never gave it a second thought. Not even a wobble, but we also had the racks anchored into the floor. The value of pallet racks is amazing, especially if you can get them used. We bought a whole bunch of them used and had them refurbished (ie painted).

The silver pin on the shelf in the picture above only prevent the shelf from lifting up, the shelf itself has fingers built in that grab the upright columns.
The shelf in question is not even close to being stressed.

Correct, the bolt in this application isn't really even needed. The tanks are never going to move. In a warehouse I could see it being needed as things are loaded and unloaded often.

Sears Craftsman USA "Line Up" tool (punch). With $4 in Sears points they gave me, only $5. Curiously, it was marked, "Not for impact use", although the web site says, "Chrome vanadium steel, double heat-treated for durability and impact resistance."

Sears Craftsman Medium Duty Air Hammer. Composite body with a nice, solid feel. "Assembled in USA". $34 online. I'll match it up with some ebay Snap On chisels. I don't work in a muffler shop. It should last me forever.

Craftsman Professional USA 10 and 13MM combo wrenches. Also strange, the two that I purchased out of open stock were a different pattern, and better quality, than those purchased in a set of the same description (see top of picture):

Armstrong USA (appears very similar to Craftsman USA) 1/4" ratchet, new in plastic bag. $10 on ebay:
