Does anyone have insight on why the round lift pads would be a better option than the square ones. The rounds are a bit smaller, as can be seen in the pic. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Thanks, I'll probably incorporate the gate hinges into my build too.

Sweet job, thanks for sharing. I'll probably incorporate the gate hinges too.

Those are the ticket...I'm going to order them...thanks

I want to build a workbench that attaches perpendicular to my current garage shelving, which is 2' deep x 24' long and has three tiers. It will be hinged where it attaches to the first tier and hooked to the tier. The issue is where to find leg supports that fold in and can hold either 2x4s or...

The ramps have been on with the lift up for five days now and the ramps don't show any sign of bending...only reason I'm worried is because my car is now underneath it. Should I drop it down and take them off?

I have a Danmar D-7 four post lift and left the ramps on while it's been up for the past few days. No problems so far but i just parked my '68 underneath it and now I'm worried that the ramps might bend and hit the trunk. The ramps are the stock steel ones that came with the lift and probably...

I checked the bulbs in my fixtures and they are T12s. How much more light would I get (if any) from a 4 light fixture, 4' long, with (4) 40 watt fluorescent tubes vs the single 300 watt equiv single cfl? I know the question may sound stupid but I'm guessing that (4) 40 watt 4' tubes will put out...

Just checked out Lowes' website and a 65 watt cfl (300 watt equiv) is almost $18...ouch!!

Funny you should mention that as I've tossed that idea around. If I use 6 of the fixtures with (4) 40 watt bulbs each, I'll have a total of 960 watts of light. If I switch out my current 100 watt cfls with 9 400 watt cfls, I'll have a ton more light, right???

Don't know, how would I tell? The bulbs in them now are 34 watt each and the info sticker reads day bright, part no 7-74631-001 and says suitable for damp locations....probably doesn't help but I figured that I'd put it out there.

I have a 32' X 36' garage with 12' ceilings and have (9) 100 watt cfl bulb ceramic light fixtures; this is too little light. I have (8) 4 light flourescent light fixtures that are 4' long. I'm thinking abour replacing 6 of my 100 watt cfls with the 4' fixtures. Will this be good or should I put...

Why not run a line to a 60 amp subpanel and run your compressor and plasma off that with individual circuits to each?

BendPak XPR-10A here, absolutely love it!! Lifts my 6,600 lb diesel like nothing and their customer service is second to none.

I was originally going to go with 1/2" but now I'm thinking that 3/8" would be easier to roll up and maneuver around. Maybe I should go with 1/4"???? I'm running diy'er type stuff, impact wrench, air ratchet, grinder, etc. Let me know as I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
