Why not go to Harbor Freight and look at what they have in inventory for similar blast cabinets?

My lift hasn't found its permanent home as of yet. I made up a few 10' sections of #10 extension cable with Hubble twist-lock connectors. The reason for breaking it into 10' sections is that the wire is heavy and I am old. That was about 10 years ago, and I haven't used my lift in the last 5...

It took 2 tries to use the code (H3IC2HXQ), but it finally worked, and I got one ordered.

I have a pump mounted on a 3-gallon plastic container that is powered by the car's battery. Its original use was for marine engines. I pump the oil out when it is hot, refill the engine, and then reverse the switch and fill the jugs the new oil came from. I either return it to the store that...

Query... had to type it out, because my mind knows where the keys are, but I couldn't tell you exactly what is where from memory. Been typing my whole life, so it is second nature to me. My wife can't understand how I can type and talk to her at the same time.

When you file your New Jersey State Income tax, there is a question about whether you made any purchases outside of NJ that weren't taxed in the state where they were purchased. If you don't answer this accurately, you have committed fraud, and the states don't like to be cheated out of what...

I purchased a high-power LED DeWalt flashlight from Woot; it arrived quickly and is genuine.

Ovens usually have a manufacturer's plate on the inside edge where the door seals.

I have a BendPak, and it has been great. The one that I presently have is the HD9XL with the rolling jack. What I like most about BendPak is the service, should I ever need a part. They are a well-established company that has been around for decades. This is my second BendPak lift, and I...

I bought the 12-volt tools before the 20-volt tools were available, and they are still going strong as far as the batteries are concerned. The driver that takes the 1/4" bits has a problem with the trigger unless I use it a lot. I have had trigger problems with a number of my DeWalt tools in...

Whenever I read about a torsion bar spring, it brings memories back about a fellow who was on a ladder winding (or unwinding) a torsion spring, when something happened (possibly the bar coming out), hitting him in the jaw, knocking him off the ladder, and splitting his head open on the concrete...

It is to keep your heart beating and your blood pressure up. Next time, ask for Nurse Ratched if you want ugly and nasty.

My HD9 is about 10 or 15 years old, and the lines have never leaked. Where are you purchasing the lines? Mine came with my lift, and I would recommend buying them directly from BendPak. I know that the lines are used on other items, so you might be able to find them at a truck supply store.

As a "rule of thumb" when plumbing, a 90-degree elbow is equivalent to adding 8' of pipe to the system. Pressure and volume are two different things. A waterjet can cut steel, but a hose will only get it wet. A fire hydrant supplies water, but the piping to the hydrant determines the volume...

Have a rollback truck back up to the lift and roll it onto the truck. If the lift is higher than the truck, place some boards under the truck's tires to raise the truck's height. The truck's winch should be able to pull the car onto the deck without a problem.
