    WILDFIRE VS ADVANTAGE LIFTS

    While the jack tray does not have the same redundancy of the bridge jack, its axles are not welded. It’s actually a solid axle pressed into a larger sleeve. It’s still a single sheer point with no redundancy but it does not rely on the same type of welded axle shaft that the bridge jack...

    WILDFIRE VS ADVANTAGE LIFTS

    What i said was misleading. "They do not fully support the vehicle so there was no danger" what I was trying to convey was that structure of the jack itself hangs over the rails... even with the wheels adjusted "up" or how most people will have them, there's very little gap.. 1/8" maybe...

    Also, this area is where the frame of the jack sits over the rail on the ramp.

    You can adjust height.

    WILDFIRE VS ADVANTAGE LIFTS

    Weld broke. I had the weight of the car on it for over a month and I never adjusted the wheels. I’m sure my actions contributed to what happened. The frame of the jack also rides over the same edge if the ramp that the wheels rest on. All 4 wheels could vanish in an instant and nothing...

    WILDFIRE VS ADVANTAGE LIFTS

    Wow I never saw this and while I realize this post is old, I believe my opinion now is more pertinant now that I’ve used it for multiple vehicles over the last 2 years. I love it. I ended up buying the bridge jack. It was expensive and heavy but makes a big difference. I’ve only had one...

    Help ID these shelves.

    Thanks. I found rails and brackets at Menards. No actual decking though

    Help ID these shelves.

    I did find these in galvanized but no actual shelving. 12 deep x 6’ tall which is perfect for me. I suppose I could use wood for the shelves or try to ghetto some kind of metal generic shelves in there.

    Help ID these shelves.

    Hi, I was with my in-laws looking to rent a townhouse and the garage had this shelving I really like. I don’t know what it’s called or where to get it. I didn’t see any labels on it. Real estate person had no clue.

    WILDFIRE VS ADVANTAGE LIFTS

    I didn't know this till after I bought the wildfire. Probably wouldn't have made a difference as the price of the bendpak is way higher than wildfire or advantage. If I could be ASSURED it was made in USA, maybe... but all I've found out so far is Bendpak maybe made in usa, maybe not. Saw...

    Need Heater advice

    I'd find the best heater for job based on size/performance/ease of install regardless of whether or not it was thermostatically controlled. No matter whay you buy, it will have a safety circuit in it. It's not difficult to wire in an old school capillary thermostat. very simple one wire in...
