A week ago my surrounding home depot's got a big drop...they all had like 6 in stock....I check 4 days later and there's 2 left at a store a town over. I already have (1) of them and was on the fence about grabbing more. Out of curiosity is there any reason or has anyone seen a reason these...

Thank you for all the feedback guys I appreciate it. Is the only fix to demo and report? Sounds like that is the consensus since clearly the previous owner attempted to do that here ( so it appears).

Does this just look like old concrete deteroration or does this look like it was poured from a bad batch etc? Tricky part is house was build in 47, but was renovated about 6 years ago so I am not sure if this entryway to the basement was poured then or if this was original. I do know there...

So I find myself taking more trips than I would like when I am working on my vehicle in the driveway. I have no garage, and I have a shed that would murder my Snap-On tools over time from temp swings. I have thought about putting together Pelican cases with common projects I find myself...

Balancing forces does not change the fact the weight of the snowblower increases with the cab and front weights. The drive system is therefore asked to do more to produce the same amount of work as before. Normal stress is Force/Area and you would be increasing the force over the same area. You...

Had a local Ariens dealer today tell me not to put my weight kit purchased from Ariens on the front of my Deluxe 24. Told me I would end up killing the plastic friction wheel and Ariens would refuse to cover cost.

Yep and my time is also worth money. More than the 90-100 I spent on the (2) kits.

So last year I purchased a Ariens 24 Deluxe. It does the job until I get to the end of the driveway (live on a state plowed road). The snowblower for the most part will ride up the snow. This leaves me muscling the snowblower in effort to pivot more weight to the front. This never turns out...

Verdict on 3-ton aluminum jack stands?

Ok good to know. So having a CP3.0 on that mid torque should warrant me the same power as if I had a HO 12 in there? Only difference being runtime?

Yea the kits are nice with the hard carry case and the (2) XC 5.0's but as you said it is hard not to piece your kit together yourself for the HO batteries. I am leaning towards the deal Home Depot has going on right now for the (2) CP3.0 batteries at 130 for the pair. One thing I did notice...

I am at a point where I am looking to finally convert over to Milwaukee. The CP3.0 battery looks like a nice option for shorter tasks which I would primarily be tackling such as rotating tires and other shorter automotive stuff (versus driving lag screws into a medium or what not). My question...
