    What jackshaft garage door opener to get?

    I've had 2 Liftmaster 8500W openers installed on a double bay and a single bay door for over a year now. No issues whatsoever and I'm 100% happy aside from some minor keypad UI gripes. I too was wary of the issues with 8500 openers control units; but as noted above the 8500w uses a different...

    BendPak New GrandPrix 4-Post Lift - No Air Required

    JSK, can you speak to specific reasons to select an HD-9 or a GP-9? I'm in the process of selecting a lift and am not clear on what the benefits of either design are. I'd love to come to SEMA to check out the new GP-9s. Can you get me in the door? ;)

    Wilton 6A Vise - Is this a 746?

    I don't want to drastically overpay for something. I realize that I don't know much about vises and honestly don't know my exact needs for the upcoming let alone far future. I do basic stuff around the house, like to work on cars/motorcycles, and do a good bit of homebrewing. I'd really like...

    Wilton 6A Vise - Is this a 746?

    Good eye. I actually asked about this and apparently the slide is somewhat misaligned so the jaws do not meet properly. Not sure how big of an issue that is but since the price is already at the top of the range that was suggested I'm thinking I will probably pass on this one.

    Wilton 6A Vise - Is this a 746?

    Wilton 6A Vise - Is this a 746?

    Thanks very much for the quick reply! I just rechecked Wilton's site and saw the same thing with the pictures only showing the 6A. Odd that on a reseller's site I had looked at the picture showed the full model #. Sounds like this is something worth checking out then; any thoughts on a fair...

    Wilton 6A Vise - Is this a 746?

    Looking for a decent vise to use in the garage I came across a 6" Wilton Mechanics vise. I don't know much about vises but from what I've been able to find this looks like a Wilton 746 (21500) but the casting on the static jaw only says 6A. From the pictures it appears that other numbers could...
