I looked at that but I don't know if that would work in the yard. I guess if I did it at night?

While not building a garage, I'm looking for something to help me build a pavilion. I understand I could use 3-4-5 to square the fenceposts but I'm looking for something better or a tool. What I'm hoping to find is something I can mount to a tripod that will light 2 points at a 90* angle and I...

Thanks for the tips on the RA. Looks like the 2438 is better for me. I was wanting something more akin to air where I could control speed via trigger/paddle.

I wonder if the right angle die grinder will show up on a promo. That and a ratchet would be a great combo for me. Also, are any of the grinders variable speed? I am looking to do rust repair and and want to control the speed a bit.

Seems like an expensive way to do it...plus you have to store 4 jacks.

Yes, that is it...thanks. I've wanted an induction heater but they are so expensive for a DIYer.

I have used this tool that connects to an air hammer with good results. Instead of a chisel, it's almost like a 1/2" extension but in the middle there is a hex part. ==||==[[[ That's the best I could draw. The [[ -> is where a socket would go and the || is a section you turn using a...

I am not sure if these will or won’t require the axle to drop. But thanks guys for all the ideas.

Thanks. If I were doing brakes or something that necessitated the wheels to be off, then certainly jack stands is all I could do. But I’m thinking ramps are better here. To make sure I got the visual, each side of the car is in opposite directions as well as front vs back. If so, how are you...

I need to do some exhaust work and rust remediation on my foxbody over the winter. My plan is to put on the stands or ramps for about the whole winter. (Nov thru February). Which is safer? I really like the race ramps wheel cribs in 10” but that’s sorta $$. Anything else I should consider?

For whatever reason, I generally feel more confident that I won't strip anything with 6 point. However, my drive shaft requires a 12 point because it's a 12 point bolt...so I buy them by the each. I do not own 12 point wrenches either. Everything is 6 point.

Any idea how to buy a small quantity of this?

This seems like the winner.,

It just shows what is attached to the posts and that there is no access from underneath once installed.

Thanks. No access to a welder. Would a machine shop be the best place to get someone to do this?
