Find someone with a Milwaukee 1/2" 18 volt impact you can borrow . Sweet Jesus do I love mine. I work in construction and theres not many nuts and bolts it wont break loose. 1400 ft lbs of torque, something will give.

Dagofast, I am laughing my *** off over your post...because I did that exactly and paid for it. Now I have a oily spot in my quarter minus driveway because I didnt want to try it inside the shop (thank god). I immediately took the curved pipe off the end of the clear hose and installed a quarter...

I am working on a heavy duty engine stand and Ive come to a point that is holding me up. I am not a fabricator by any means but Ive dabbled in it. My issue is I am trying to line up a 3.5" piece of round pipe to pass through (2) 4" square uprights that are 42" apart. The 3.5" piece will be cut...

I use a nitrogen tank and charge the system to around 250 psi, close the valve and let it set for a couple of hours and check again. Only trouble is that the pressure will change slightly with the ambient temperature changes. As mentioned before, you really should read into the lubrication for...

Details as in photos? Didnt think to take any at the time. It did happen, my friend rented a shop that already had the lifts installed and obviously too close to the wall. He took a hammer and made a window in the wall. Would I do that? No. I am just stating something that helped me decide where...

Ive seen this done and when they went to pull a rear axle shaft they were really pissed it wouldnt come out far enough to remove completely. what is 6x6 of #10 w.w.m.? My Rotary 10k 2 post lift required 4-5" if I remember right...so I went 6", 4000 psi, #2 rebar 2 foot centers and stealth...

Where did the year go? Holy hell! I havent even touched the saw or 3 phase power conversion yet. I have been busy wrenching on side work and projects but the day is getting closer to needing it. Ill update when it happens...thanks a bunch guys!

Davis Salvage on Washington has the best prices by a long shot. Southwest Steel near Deer Valley is probably next.

I do have the 10" extensions, its just bad placement for where the steps drop down. I was stumped and then I had a buddy come by thats been working on Super Dutys for the last 20 plus years to tell me what he thought. He said to take the steps off haha. Its a 2001 crew cab 4x4 short bed, next...

I am trying to think of what someone would need that extra pivot for? I have a Forward 10K 2 post and the only thing Ive come across that keeps me from lifting something is the new N fab steps that I just put on my Super Duty....bummer!

Ive thought about that as well. I already have most everything I think I would need except for a plasma cutter.....someday. Already out of room nearly so I cant go with anything too big. Never would have thought 2260 square feet was not good enough

Hi Guys! So my shop is up and operational now, been busy as heck! My neighbors son in law builds rv gates and he brought in a flatbed 6.0 Ford that he squired that needs a lot of attention. He dangled a Dake cold saw in my face in trade for work on this truck. I know basic residential...

I totally agree ducksface, I think most people are just above being able to breathe on their own. I didn’t really think much about the band saw but that is a great idea and I do hate the mess of the chop saw, I will look into this. Most of the stuff I cut is able to be cut with a band saw. Any...

I guess I’ll keep my eyes open for a second hand hypertherm. I see a few on Craigslist and they hold their value well apparently. I just did a bit of cutting and welding today and was thinking how nice it would be to cut steel without ******* the neighbors off with my chop saw.
