bought a 4 post lift, and the directions say to level the runways at all 4 posts, while the runways are resting on the safety ladders. since the floor is sloped toward the door, one end is 1 3/4" lower than the other end. 1) i could raise the safety ladder 1 3/4", and then take the slack out...

Kinda shocked no one on Garage Journal has one of these lifts. I used to come on almost every day to see what was going on, and when i was contemplating what lift to buy, ask questions. Always got answers to my questions. Maybe all the lift owners are elsewhere. Guess i'll be calling the dealer...

Bought a Bend Pak HD9-XW 4 post lift. Directions show a power port and a return air line coming off the right side of the power pack. There's a red temporary plug which i'm thinking is the power port on the right side. I'm stuck on where the return line comes in. Anyone have any experience...

I recently bought a new to me, '70 Camaro RS. Swore I'd never buy something sight unseen, but such was the case w/ this purchase. Problem, car was in Sacramento, Ca, and i live in eastern Pa. Dealer i bought from recommended a truck broker from Iowa i believe. They deal w/ about 6000 different...

when i built my new garage 2 years ago, my son who works at a metal shop, took 1/8" stainless sheet, bent 3 sides down 3 1/2" to cover the 4x4 frame, welded and polished the corner seams. i then made a 4x4 frame that fit the top snugly, and we just set it on top. as heavy as that stainless was...

do they send you spray paint for touchups?

looked at their website. bend pak is top of the line lift. never heard of those other lifts they sell. also no prices. bend pak seems to have a bottom line price dealers can advertise, but then undercut over the phone. 2 companies i've found that seem reputable are automotive service equipment...

you get what you pay for. i've been looking at mostly Bend Pak. top of the line, certified. this east coast lift must really be a cheap china lift, since they offer install w/ the price. i'd go w/ Dannmar who also has some certified lifts before i went w/ these guys. know a lot of guys go w/...

it's a large truck jack. couldn't tell you how many tons capacity it is w/o looking at it in person.

oh, and yes, they drop ship from a # of vendor warehouses accross the country, the reason you get your stuff so quick when they manage not to try to F you. i don't beleive they stock much of anything. i know this because, eric, i believe was the guy who indicated he was the owner, told me as an...

ntx and usa are the same company. they own about 8 different store selling tools. i put an order in last year w/ ntx if i remember right, SK w/ a freebie, the only reason i ordered from them instead of ToolTopia who was actually cheaper on the main item. Only after i got the shipping...

just answered 1 question. they're located in a residential neighborhood, so no showroom

Still agonizing between a 2 post or 4 post,when i noticed that Dannmar now has 2 & 4 post that are ATI-ETL certified. Was going w/ Bend Pak, but now am going to consider Dannmar as well, since they're a good bit cheaper. I'm sure there's features on Bend Paks that make them more expensive, but i...

i can see the pros and cons of both. W/ the 2 post, i could put 1 car on skates and push it into the pie shaped area, manuevering around the lift. W/ the 4 post, you gain floor space, but working on cars and having to work around the runways has to be a pain in the ***. Either way, you have to...
