    I've had one of these Summit FF6 refrig for at least 6 yrs now. It doesn't have a freezer. No complaints. Got it through Home Depot. Shop around on the internet...

    looking for a 12" disc sander

    I have the HF 12" and it's works great. Remember you're only using 6" of the disc. So it's not really big.

    heat treated/hardened threaded rod vs regular?

    Engine Hoist slowly drops when handle is left in

    Take it back to where you bought it or replace the ram. I had one leak down while lifting and used one of these HF. https://www.harborfreight.com/8-ton-super-heavy-duty-long-ram-hydraulic-round-bottom-jack-36397.html
