I used mothers aluminum polish, Eagle one cleaner, and polish again. Used a terry cloth towel to scrub by hand. Later this year in going to use an acid to clean up the fake beadlock bolt heads.

My Stanley 2 ton I bought at Walmart 4 years ago is still going strong. Not a high lift or a low pro but it's lifted many cummins trucks and many Kubota tractors.

+1 wobble plus. If you do any serious automotive work, a set can be worth their weight in gold and busted knuckle. I just use 2 wobbles and 2 regular extensions to take out the top 2 bolts that were holding my trans to my engine in my truck. I've also used a couple shorty wobbles to get into...

Very rarely does someone sell something that was taken care of. All that I hear at 26 was "Why didn't you go to college?" The trades are lacking and good young crop are all in school. Then in my area those fixer upper houses are so run down and overpriced, by the time you've rebuilt the darn...

Got some more of the garage cleaned and needed to do the rear main seal in my truck. So I thought it was too tall. I figured I could back in the truck to get out of the rain if it started like they predicted. So I back in and check to see if I was close. One thing led to another and this is the...

Got some more cleaning done and was able to lay it out. This weekend I'm going to raise the counter height to 36". Got to build a stand under each file cabinet. Sent via USPS 2 weeks ago

My local Ace Hardware has a Craftsman 8 drawer chest and 4 drawer cart for $99. Good buy? I was in a hurry and didn't get specs but made sure it said "Combo".

We use a lot of these for cleaning up metal at work http://www.emisupply.com/catalog/enduro-flex-flap-disc-5811-threaded-arbor-grit-p-3177.html

I bought mine on EBay for $60 with 2 batteries and the dual charger, BNIB.

Been awhile so I'll update. No photos. Thanks to my position, I am acquiring 3 file cabinets, any dense counter top from modular desktops that I want ranging from 6ft long to 2ft long and a couple corner pieces, 3 overhead file cabinets, and 2 sets of parabolic lights, 1 3 bulb single ballast...

While we don't have CNCs where I work, we do have complex machinery that have people working with them (food packaging). Each E-stop interrupts the control voltage for the main power contactor. This then stops all power coming in. So putting a contactor before the feeds for the drivers and...

We rebuild our drills at work all the time. Too much hassle to warranty a tool we use every day as they choose to rebuild instead of replace. Buy a brush card, wait a day or 2 for shipping, replace. Takes use about 2 hours and that includes cleaning and adding more grease.

And how does it compare to T8s? Local firehouse switched from T8s to LED and saw a 20% reduction in energy use while having better lighting.
