I'm looking for a floor jack on Craigslist in the SF bay area. Any opinions on either of these? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tls/d/big-auto-floor-jack/6376867333.html https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tls/d/floor-jack-good-condition/6380389970.html Looking for something with quality bones...

FWIW, I know a number of the Fastcap employees, the company is located less than ten miles from my parents house, and they're good people. I remember as a little kid going with my dad to pick up some Fastcaps from Paul's house that he was donating to our church to help fix up the gymnasium. That...

Thanks all. Looks like the Felpro 3060 pack provides an assortment of gasket materials for $6: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CNKUGO/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I'm planning to pick this up, not sure which of the rubber options will work best--any thoughts on rubber cellulose vs rubber fiber? I'm...

It's the bottom left gasket in the attached photo. When you say "silicon will push right out", does that apply only to the RTV stuff, or also include if I cut something from a silicon sheet? If I use the paper gasket material, am I supposed to use RTV between it and the metal? That's what I...

Thanks! I've been looking for a cheaper Shopsmith as I need the space saving of it--not much room in my shop. I emailed him, hopefully I can pick it up tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up on the price drop. Just picked one up. Also grabbed a Craftsman hose cap for $3 to push me over the $50 needed to qualify for the $10 back in points. One of those simple little things that comes in handy sometimes, and much better in metal than plastic...

Current listed price is $120 on that Spectrum toolbox with hand-welded cart. Wonder if he thought better of it and raised the price, or got a flood of interest and so jacked the price?
