For the 5# amerex look for a 402. Its the same size as a 500 but has a higher rating. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Anything amerex is top quality. The 417t 2.5# extinguishers come standard with a vehicle bracket. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Most standard ABC extinguishers are rated for -40 to 120 degrees. Even here in the Florida heat we don't have any problems with vehicle mounted extinguishers. I would suggest to get a vehicle or strap type bracket to mount it. I see more damaged extinguishers from being kicked under a seat or...

Thank you for this thread. My home owners policy just renewed so I carefully read through everything. My other structures is 20% of the house which definitely wouldn't replace it. I also do run my business from the pole building. In asking my agent about limits and coverages he asked my current...

I second having a phone on you is the most important. When I was 15 I got my middle, ring, and pinkie finger at the first knuckle stuck in the chain and sprocket on a street bike I had. I screamed and honked the motorcycle horn until the battery went dead and my voice gave out. My dad was...

Another vote for Klein d203-6. They are my most used tool. While I have several pairs I've been using the same one sometimes hundreds of times a day for over ten years. Still no wobble in the hinge yet. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

I recently bought a 39000 with 2' extensions from a closed dealership. It has worked very well with my wife's suburban and 3/4 ton work van's. I'm 6'3" and have no problem working under it. I think these lift higher than the new cl10. My lift has pneumatic release cylinders not cables. My...

JeepinMike is correct. While the cylinder itself may be able to be hydro tested. Parts have not been available for many many years. Thus the manufacturers maintenance procedure can't be followed. A co2 extinguisher is great to have in addition to an abc dry chemical. Remember though co2 is...

How many tons was the quote for? Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

The 1/2 size extinguisher is a 6 liter kclass. It's a requirement for all commercial kitchens. If you can find a Buckeye brand they have a Schrader valve to pressurize with an air chuck. Also look at cold fire as an additive to mix in. It actually works. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage...

I have an older challenger 39000 with 2' extensions. Its rated at 9000 lb. With the arms on the top locks there is exactly 72" between the floor and the bottom of the arms. I'm 6'3" and i have no problem standing under any vehicle. You will have to duck a little around the arms and tires but not...

I'm in the exact same situation as you. I'm in central Florida my house was built in 98' and I have a trane xe1000 3.5 ton heat pump. The unit has been running well. No fires lately. A capacitor blew up and caught all the wires on fire. Took me a couple hours on a rainy Sunday evening to fix but...

I have an older challenger model 39000. Its 22 years old still works great. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app
