    Ideas on moving 900 pound horizontal air compressor

    I didn't even think of that, maybe even just go to a local market or homme depot and see if you can borrow one... I have a few of them at my shop and havent touched them in a while.. Also check craigslist, maybe you can buy one cheap..

    Ideas on moving 900 pound horizontal air compressor

    balance it on a floor jack, should be easy after that, to get it off the pallet, light the pallet on fire, its made of wood it will turn to ashes.. but seriously, I am going to say man power, just walk it into place, walk it off of the pallet... This is where a skid steer comes in very handy...

    lp or electric hvac for a 36x80 shop

    I would do dual fuel, electric heat pump and lp with AC package units.. http://www.goodmanmfg.com/ResidentialProducts/PackagedUnits/bDualFuel.aspx SUPER easy installs, literally, lay down a pad (foam core or pour), run a thermostat wire to your heat / cool stat, run 220v to the unit, and put 2...

    Ever think of giving up the air compressor?

    Let me know when you find an impact air hammer that runs on 12volts and can push the bolts out of the rusty suspension I stripped today with my air tool, lol... but seriously, I hate cordless tools, cordless sawzalls are a waste of time even the drills are too bulky for mechanic work and...

    Trusty-Cook, Green Ball Peens, Available

    Awesome.. You should put an entire kit together with 1 of each hammer and a custom triangle holder for them, I would buy it. The hammer holder could be a 3d triangle that opens up, the long handle sledge goes in the top, the other models hang on the sides and then one side opens to house the...

    My son wants to start a business- dustless blasting

    I do agree with you, I was just trying to explain how the cost is built in, I believe its a law now they have to tell you the breakdown if you ask, you may want to do that, because Im betting that 2 year new pone is costing you a lot more than $10. Not positive about it by any means, but worth...

    2 Post lift for 10' ceiling

    A friend of mine bought a 12ft lift used, it was a great price so he figured if it didnt work he would sell it for a profit.. well, he was about 4 1/2" too short, so he routed out the cement to make the bottom of the lifts legs flush and then he cut the ceiling sheetrock and notched a couple...

    IMO, if you are looking for something affordable buy the matco (pinless) adapter and then a set of decent impact sockets, I have put the adapter next to the sockets and they are about the same profile...

    My son wants to start a business- dustless blasting
