I paid somebody with an F450 boom crane truck. Forklift at seller to get it outside. Picked up, set it in the bed, drove to my place, boomed it into the garage door, jand sest down on skates, rolled it into the corner, set it down off the skates with the johnson bar. About 2 hours, paid $225...

If its loose you can run the handle through a diagonal sweep or around an obstruction to make the sweep longer.

Their current UI is horrible if you are shopping for hardware you'd normally get on McMaster. I love amazon and amazon prime, but still use mcmaster for hardware. Ditto about the above for mechanical design work. I use their parts and models in my assemblies, saves me time and the company money.

I thought I wanted one of these, until I got a horizontal band saw. I can't see purchasing one now.

I use it to unload heavy things out of my truck nearly every month. Yesterday I unloaded a horizontal bandsaw. Combine it with a load leveler and lots of chain options and it the hoist becomes a lot more useful. My truck is lowered, so if you have a high 4x4 it may not reach high enough for...

Can you provide a link to gearwrench reversible ratcheting flare nut wrenches? I don't see that item on their website, or understand how it would work.

Psuedo-Legislation through regulation is a systemic problem with three letter agencies. No one president is necessarily responsible. I picked up the VP racing jug and spout off amazon recently, well built and easy to use.

I purchased a house built on a precast walls. The attached garage uses a similar foundation. The structure is dry and seems very well insulated. It's the nicest foundation I've ever seen.
