    Does Your Body Hurt Less with a Lift?

    For me it was absolutely worth it. Back in the day I worked at a dealer and had a single post in ground lift in my bay but still had to roll around on the garage floor at home for years. Got mine installed 2 years ago and have been thankful for it every time I've used it. It's probably paid for...

    My Installation of MaxJax M7K

    FWIW, I don't own a MaxJax but when I was doing research on lifts there were a few posts about the quality of the included anchors and that they may not have been acutal Wej-It, or something to that effect. Others went and purchased their own brand name anchors. For my 2 post, I went and got...

    Shop Vac storage ideas for small garage?

    There was some guy on YT who was doing a tour of his shop and he had a shop vac hung from the ceiling on a retractable contraption. It was pretty cool but I can't remember who it was.

    Modine Hot Dawg worth double the price of Mr. Heater hanging propane heaters?

    Where did you get your parts from? There was a place in BC. Not sure if they're still around.

    Modine Hot Dawg worth double the price of Mr. Heater hanging propane heaters?

    I've been running my 50K Mr Heater Big Maxx for 11 years with no issues (knock on wood) other than the common clogging of the fitting for the pressure switch hose. I got mine from TSC on sale for around $500 back then I think. I don't even want to know what they sell for now. As for replacement...

    Snowblower in garage, keeping area clean

    I've got a big plastic "drip tray" meant for oil changes that I put under the Auger Housing after I put my blower in the garage. I try and knock off as much of the crud as possible before brining it in. One the all the snow has melted in the tray, I carefully roll the blower back and then tilt...

    Ecobee Thermostat with Big Maxx Heater

    The terminal strip on mine does have the "G" wire so I guess it would have fan control as well. I don't really have a need for it. As long as the heater comes on and keeps everything warm when it's -20 outside that's all that matters to me. Edit: Finished the install and everything went as...

    Ecobee Thermostat with Big Maxx Heater

    Not really. When the house was built I ran a 3 wire in the wall and ceiling to the area where the heater was going to be hung. I could run another wire on the outside but if I can make it work with the existing wire that's what I'll try and do first.

    So I've been thinking of getting a car/truck lift in my garage....

    Seeing this just unlocked a memory. We had one of these we used for alignments in high school auto shop back in '88. I remember someone raising the scissors and they got jammed underneath the rocker panels of a Pontiac Sunbird (yes I'm old lol) and the teacher got pissed. I don't remember how...

    Ecobee Thermostat with Big Maxx Heater

    I've been running a Big Maxx 50K heater since 2013 along with a simple Honeywell battery powered heat-only T-stat. I've had no issues other than the common one where the orifice tube ****** gets clogged which I need to clear out twice a year. Since I can't leave anything alone lol, I wanted to...

    So I've been thinking of getting a car/truck lift in my garage....

    I'm over 50 and would still take my 2 post over rolling around on the ground. I've done that far too long. If I can still mow the lawn I should still be able to position lift pads lol. Working at the dealer back in the day I hated the 4 post lifts. There was always something in the way...

    What’s It

    I can't tell if the bottom one has a groove at the end. If it does, my guess would be a brake shoe spring tool.

    Tekton Tools Praise Thread

    I recently got their metric Chrome 1/2" Drive standard & deep sets via Amazon. All my imperial stuff is from Snap-on from waaay back in the day when it was still somewhat affordable but I wasn't going to take out a second mortgage to add on to my metric sets so I went with Tekton. I had never...

    Garage Door Opener Question: Does This Look Right To You?

    Oh hell no. Mine is mounted in about as a narrow space as it can get and it's rock solid when lifting my 16' x 8' door.
