You didn't say what you want to put on the shelves, however . . . I think the wire shelving units are useful. At Costco, the 18" x 48", 6 shelf units are about $100 in store. I usually buy a set of better casters for about $50. So, for about $150 I get about 1/2 ton x 40 cubic feet of mobile...

@Pb12 Here is another option if you can use a practical fix (rather than a museum quality restoration). Use a stud, threaded both ends and two locking type nuts. The stud I linked is 18-8 stainless so no rusting and strong enough for that application, IMHO. It's 150mm long so you'll want to...

I just had some trouble getting the sale price to show up. I think the HD site is stupid slow right now. But it eventually worked and I'll pick-up in store (Zip 91406) tomorrow. I need 3 more ratchets like I need a third arm pit, but you know how that goes. Just got to try the new piece (tool...

Years ago, I installed some pallet rack to create a mezzanine across a one car garage. I used 2 uprights on each side of the room and 4 beams that were long enough to put the uprights against the walls. The beams were set at a height so anything that would pass under the open door would pass...

I don't think the info attached is a good fit, as is, for your space but is useful food for thought. The concept seems feasible. Call and ask if they're interested in building custom unit. Perhaps an extra wide center platform to facilitate maneuvering in and out. The catalog unit is only 19.7...

No one has mentioned what energy source you're using to heat the water? Please elaborate.

1982fxr, I think you've got a legitimate beef here. Those "bent" punches won't hold up to serious use. The bend results in them being springy and deflecting rather than delivering the full force of the hammer strike to the pin. The pouch is stupid and unacceptable. You might try to call...

Good thread. I don't have pictures but the story still brings a smile to my face. I used to work for Raytheon in Goleta, CA at a time when they were reorganizing. They held a sale (primarily furniture) for employees. I had an S10 PU. They were charging $5 each for 18" x 36" x 78" steel, two door...

Based on your suggestion, I tried Amazon.UK and Amazon.DE with no luck. There doesn't seem to be an Amazon in Taiwan. The demonstration video linked above was loaded to YT on Mar 4, 2012. Maybe those sets have evaporated? The Craftsman branded sets are still available, so I was hoping that the...

Here's a demonstration video.

Thanks for your input. The Taiwan contacts that I've tried have not responded. I'm not interested in trying to piece a set together. I was hoping that some other tool nut would have seen the set(s) advertised for sale in some flyer, catalog or ???.

Bump . . . Can anyone tell me a U.S. retailer for the product?

The link is showing me $399 (not $199) ???

They are one of the companies that I have already emailed (about 2 weeks ago) but they have not replied.
