    Princess Auto deals

    I needed new long ram jack for my 32 year old engine lift. They have this air over hydraulic on clearance for $79, when they finally dug one out of the warehouse it was tagged $50. Check your local store for pricing, it wont be more than $79.

    4 post lift best brand for the money

    I'd likely buy a revolution/forward lift. The company has been around forever, if it needs parts in the future it shouldn't be an issue.

    House with cool garage for sale near me

    In the 1st pic the floor drain is maybe 1/3 - 1/4 the way from the pillar to the lift post. In the second pic it makes sense, just the angle of the shot.

    House with cool garage for sale near me

    Thats a good car guy space. Everything is off the shop floor and on those overhead racks, I would have to remove the racks limiting suv lift height. I don't know the area. There are similar sized lots on my street up here in Canada, on my neighbourhood they would be asking $3 million Canadian.

    homemade shallow sockets?

    I've cut down many. The last one I needed a very shallow 10mm that also needed to have a very thin wall. I started with a dewalt 1/4" nut driver, spun it in the drill while cutting it down with a flap disc.

    Kids toys/bikes/vehicle storage

    Another vote for a shed if you have the space. We always had a large storage shed growing up. The lawnmower lived there, go cart, old bikes, all the shovels and rakes. If I had one now I'd fill it with the same, the only downside I can see now would be rodents.

    Coats rc15a leaking air

    That's really good that you found the exact rebuild kit. For other tire machine pneumatics, I have a couple of old hunter machines. I'm up in Canada and the cylinders were $700 Canadian each. I could not get them apart to rebuild. I managed to match them up with cylinders on ebay, I got 2 for...

    Is it worth repairing?

    Yes, the tank. I retired a similar unit a few years ago after having a look inside the tank. I would open the drain and see what comes out, then stick a bore scope inside and see how good/bad it is before spending any money.
