Please don't put a car on lift till fixed. Have worked in an shop where we needed all lifts and if you have never seen a car fall it ain't pretty. We had a lift in ground that had a small oil leak and before could be fixed Had a jack under back 7 foot jack stand under front for something and...

Moving in to me a new house with a shop. Just setting up shop and I know I have that tool but which box??? Thought I had labeled everything but find out missed a lot. Spend more time looking than would going to HF and getting a new one.

I have a Harbor Freight near me and when I have time I browse around. I wish those boxes were there wen I was turning wrenches. but quit after 35 years 20 years ago. Boxes look real good and if younger would get one in a heart beat.

I just looked up specs for a 30,000 btu split and they said ambient temp was around 14F degrees. When I installed mine I thought it was around there. Cooling works fine, Haven't tried heating yet.

Beautiful, wish I could do something like that. Nice addition to any shop

Old horseshoe hole maker, Just a wild *** guess have no idea. Just saw double pins no idea.

I was a mechanic for many years before I retired. Found out people were dropping by to get free labor. Finally took all tools back to shop and told them to drop by and get serviced. After a while found out who were real friends .

I noticed WalMart tool lane is getting bigger each year with more choices. Ever since Sears has gone CO. are trying hard to take over the Craftsman place.

Was in appliance repair and always tried to get magnetron magnets. Wish I had more as they are very strong.

I had one for years when I was turning wrenches for a living. Broke a couple of years before I quit and did not know where to go for a replacement at that time. back in the 90's internet was not much help. I really loved that tool for front end work.

Hoping somebody had done it here. Keep reading about it but can not find anybody who has done it. Put concrete jacking with foam in search and lot of products come up, read and they all say for walls.

Have a 2 step stoop and decorative walk. the stoop and walk have sunk about 4 inches. Had mud jacking done in last home but have heard about foam DIY jacking. Has anyone done this and what did you use.

Take the u joint apart and remove handle. Looks like a nut there and probably a seal or o ring there.

Don't have what you have but was a mechanic for many years. 2 ft on side will not leave you any room for tool boxes or other stuff there. Doing the math 24ft -1 foot for walls -14 foot needed for lift leaves you 9 feet for other car. If not working on car on lift and you park close still...
