I bought a used one several years ago, it looks the same obviously but it's a newer one with the Nascar logo on it.

Even a lot of commercial lift motors are only 5 minute run time with no issue, that shouldn't be something to worry about. Sounds like you have a solution with that 20A outlet you have. You could always see if an electrician could add another outlet off that circuit closer to the lift if you...

I remember hearing about the Tim Allen tool stuff. It looks like a nicely sourced collection of little every day tools which is nice. At first glance it looked like a typical set of cheap tools with someone's name slapped on it for publicity.

Must be a regional thing. Here, both residential and commercial it's pretty much always 15A breakers unless there's a reason for them to be bigger.

It's been hit and miss for me. Saw ads earlier on my phone for the firs time, I'm on a normal computer now and don't have them.

I see 5-20P all the time, both for commercial kitchen equipment, where 5-30P also shows up, but it's also the most common type of plug for a lot of photocopiers and other bigger office equipment. For the lift, I would probably be inclined to use an adapter for it if you can't add a new proper...

I just got ads that I've seen other people complain about for the first time.. Glad it's something being dealt with!! I don't mild ads that are imbedded in the page that scroll off the screen but the ones that take up space on the screen are annoying and the floating ones that hover over what...

You had a harbor freight one and primarily use it for automotive type use. For that I use the cheapest one I can find that uses 9V battery. It does its job and I'm not going to spend much on a good Fluke type meter that's only going to get greasy or put down where it might get dropped or...

So you're down to what I suggested before or buy a new pressure switch.

If someone had an issue doing that they usually wouldn't be doing things like taking wheels on and off to begin with. Either having to bend over with that weight or lifting them that high.

I bought a press when I had the chance to get one at a decent price because I've used them a fair bit over the years for rebuilding mower deck spindles, replacing parts in various suspension components, bearings, anything else that's made with a press fit. It might not be needed all that often...

I think he means how some vehicles if you apply the brakes with the wheels off the rotors or drums move out a bit or go crooked and no longer fully sitting flush with the hub. So if you lock the brakes on before putting the wheels on that could cause problems. At least I think that's what that's...

The only compressors I've seen where the pump was remotely installed from the tank were mainly huge industrial ones and the tanks were only a few feet away. If noise is an issue I'd be building an enclosure somewhere outside to put it, the other big plus of that is it also saves space not...

Some people have also noted before that if you drill all the way through you could potentially have an issue with dampness from the ground below coming up through the hole and corroding fastener... but you could probably make the same argument that if you don't drill all the way through and...

Yeah that's what's happened. It's equalled out so there's no higher pressure to force air into the tire. Pull the chuck off and open up a line to get the compressor low enough to restart. If that's a constant problem and you don't use the compressor for much else you could always bump up the...
