I think the vials have a slight curve to them and you use the one closest the the level surface you are referencing from.

I think most lift manufactures recommend concrete cure at least 30 days before drilling to install. Might still be soft.

I've used this one on window regulator rivet a few times. Works great and feels fairly durable. https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-IN-1-Hand-Rivet-Pop-Riveter-Gun-1-8-5-32-3-16-7-32-1-4-Sizes-Heavy-Duty/331589708682

Majority of these ice cube relays also have numbers molded next to terminal screws. You go by the diagram on the relay face and match number from relay to base. This looks like a direct knockoff of Omron LY series.

All of the Amish built pole barns around our area pour one bag in bottom of hole dry, set pole, backfill with dirt. They use in ground rated treated 6x6. I asked them a while back when picking up a load of lumber at their lumber yard. They said the mix gives it a better base to help prevent...

My thought and experience has always been that with the angle offset direction between the handle and jaw centerline, if you pull in the direction of the arrow, it helps force the fastener tight into the valley of the jaws where the tool is strongest and helps prevent slipping. Same theory I use...

I'm working on repairing a Reed 104 1/2R for use as a personal user. The vise nut only has about 3/8" of threads left in it and the nut itself looks homemade. Does anyone have a main nut that they would like to part with? It doesn't need to be pristine, just usable. Even a nicely repaired nut...

I’ve been recently trying to revive this sad Reed 104 1/2R for a personal rough user vise. I has a lot of cosmetic issues from (the best I can figure) so type of fixture for pressing something based on the extra tapped holes and most of the lettering being ground off. On the plus side, the jaws...

I usually use more of the brand name ones since trying the horrible hf ones a while back, but recently was in a bind trying to finish a project and ran out of name branded 4in cut off wheels. I tried the Hyper Tough 3 pack from Walmart to finish the project. They held up surprisingly well for...

Dad had a big problem for years with birds, wasps, and dirt dobbers roosting and nesting under his porch. A few years ago we were discussing it and he remembered when he was a kid, most houses in our area had the underside of the porch painted a light "sky" blue. About 3 years ago he finally...

I do believe you're correct. Look at the residue pattern in the water tray. Same white spots.

sound similar to an issue I had with my son's 06 Ram. I found that if I cycle key from off to on (not start) to off about 5 times, then tried to start, it would run briefly. The key cycle would kick fuel pump on enough times to build pressure to start but pump was too weak to maintain pressure...

I found a non conventional use for mine this weekend. I was breaking down tires on a couple old aluminum wheels to put sealer on the beads. I had been placing a 12 inch 4X4 block on tire bead and levering down with a section of box tubing. All was going good until got to last bead. Spent over...

Pretty sure lift is a Challenger. Most likely a model 39000 since looks identical to mine except mine is blue. Otherwise identical. $3k is pretty high. I gave $1800 for mine at auction which was probably little high at that price but was like new.

Looks to be a 1936-1937 Craftsman. Looks identical to my Companion model which is the cheaper brother to Craftsman. 36-37 only years they used straight slots in table. Other years they changed to 4 slots at 45 degrees as the ones pictured above
