    Help me find a Cummins Diesel Injector Puller

    I have worked on the common rail B-series engines and I even changed the injectors just like you have and I don't remember using a special tool at all let alone a puller. Now I just changed injectors on a 12v B and those do require a puller but yours are just held in by a couple 12 or 13 mm...

    Globe 2 post lifts???

    Globe is long since out of business. I forget now who it was that bought them but I don't think that company is even in business anymore.

    Rotary Lift Install?

    If the lift is a SPO92 it has a overhead bar. If it is a SP92 or something of that nature then it is bottom plate. I used to work at rotary. The "O" in SPO92 or SPOA10 or whatever two post you are talking about means overhead. No "O" means floor plate model but those are all very old by now.

    Anyone else buy anything stupid today?

    I love old mowers. I have a 1969 Sears Suburban 12. I bought it for $100 on Ebay. Has a 42" mowing deck. I recently got a blade for it as well as a 32" snow plow. I love it. It was back in a day before Craftsman. I am going to sound like a old man here but it was made when things were built to...

    Looking for a good alternative to Craftsman tools

    WOW. I let this thread go for a day or two and I come back to this!!! Just kidding. The basic point of my post was to find a good quality alternative to the Craftsman brand. Mainly because of service and availablilty. The service has sucked at my local store as well as their national customer...

    Looking for a good alternative to Craftsman tools

    Those are all very good ideas. Thanks guys. Keep them coming. I guess it is not so much of the "I need the tool now" type thing I just like being able to go to the store and just pick it up. I will check out SK. That sounds like a good option.

    Looking for a good alternative to Craftsman tools

    Ok sears has pissed me off for the last time. First it was a problem with my floor jack. They would not do anything for me at all. And this "National Customer Service" **** they have going is a total joke. Now I can't even find hardly any tools at my local Sears store anymore. They used to have...

    Where to buy a high quality 2 1/4 ton floor jack

    Where can one buy a high quality 2 1/4 ton or thereabouts floor jack. 2 ton would be fine or even smaller. I like the ones around 2 ton because the frame is smaller and it is easier to place jack stands around. The 3 ton models and above are just to big for my needs. I have several VW's and I...

    Tire Changer or Balancer

    My dad just bought a manual tire changer from Harbor Freight. Also bought the motorcycle adapter and a bubble balancer. We mounted it on a wooden platform we build out of sheets of 3/4" plywood. Now we have a 4'x4'x1.5" thick platform that it is bolted to. We can just unbolt it and lean the...

    Blue Point Hand Tools

    I agree. I have a set of blue point ratcheting combo wrenches. They clearly say Taiwan on them but they are great wrenches. Everytime I need a combo wrench that is what I reach for. I have even but the ratcheting box end part on a fastner and smacked the open end of the wrench with a hammer to...

    Going to pour garage floor soon....need advice!!

    When installing a 4-post lift it will have to be shimmed so that everything is perfectly level. So the more floor slope you have the more shimming will need to be done.

    Lift Group Buy

    I tried but it won't let me do it. Website limits pdf files to 19.5KB. The file is 2.80MB. Way to big. You want me to e-mail them to you?

    Installing my 2 post lift

    Who made the lift. If it is a Rotary I can help you. I work at Rotary lift and do this for a living. I can probably help anyway but I can get you the full installation instructions if you want if you don't have them already.

    Movable 2 post lift?

    Those are common. They are called portable column lifts or mobile column lifts. Many in the heavy duty segment or in commercial truck and transit applications such as city garages etc. Totally different than a "moveable 2-post lift" which doesn't exist BTW. Most of those mobile column lifts are...
