Why did I decide on 4 vs 2 post I don't want to lie on the floor At my age and body shape Once i get down (to set the arms on a 2 post) I have to roll around on the floor like a drunk Manatee trying to get back up, I'm sure you youngsters would laugh at this sight.. Your day is coming, Are...

This is an older post, but for anyone out there pondering I thought I would add my experience. Executive summary: There is not a bad choice between Advantage and Wildfire Outside Slider designed 4 post lifts, a little research and you will find small inconsequential differences, so it is price...

Guardian (see my lengthy reply)

My review / story: My garage (pole barn) doors are 14' tall x 12' wide. I bought @ Menards the Masterforce Wall Mount Smart Garage Door Opener With Battery Backup Model Number: 24225 It is virtually Identical to the Guardian 928V (WiFi enabled) (Green instead of Grey) with battery backup...

I like Skiff Builders idea, I installed something similar, When My wife's) electric dryer runs (draw current) it operates a switch, that switch starts a fan on the dryers exhaust, since it dumps remotely.

A frame of reference, I do not have :ROFLMAO:.

I can put my Corvettes all the way up (my lift has almost 7' clearance if all the way up), but since I have 12 foot ceilings, I cannot lift my truck up all the way so ducking is always necessary.. That all said, high enough I don't have to duck (a little) is too high up for me to reach way over...

I have a similar 4 post lift (Advantage - outside slider) to the one pictured (Wildfire - outside slider). A nice thing about outside slider designed lifts is they are inherently more stable than the C channel design (no rocking) Unlike the picture, I have only 1 rolling jack, I normally use it...

When I pulled the trigger (over 5 years ago) on a lift for my pole barn, I went with a 4 post lift. My reasoning is (was): getting down on teh ground to set teh arms on a 2 post defeated one of the main purposes I was getting a lift for.. So I didn't have to roll around on the concrete floor...

I can't find the "exact one" I used, but here is a similar one: (Amazon) 1Pcs Automation DC 12V Time Delay Relay Module LED Display Digital Delay Timer PLC Delay Time Control Switch 0.1Sec to 999Min Adjustable

All "common sense" BUT Good advice.. needs to be said!

I think you just goofed me over, I think I may have to get set(s) of these (SAE and Metric).. long handle, one normal box end for breaking away.. blah blah blah... seems so useful..

Years ago I bought Gearwrench sets, when they were about the only game in town: 15 deg off set with a "switch" to reverse. These are my goto wrenches except when I need to really gronk on something.. As combination wrenches go these are my most used (they come on plastic holders, one for...

GUILTY!! :) :) :)

1st recommendation get a steel floor jack (HFT currently has a 3 ton model for <$100), if that is too much $$ get a (much less expensive 5 or 10 ton bottle jack (as a backup) . -aluminum floor jacks are great for light weight, but I am old school and put more trust in the strength of steel), if...
