For future readers... I looked at the inspection stickers at my brother in laws hardware store extinguishers and contacted the company. I bought 2 10 lb reconditioned chemical units for $35 each and he gave me a CO2 unit for free. Call around local... Sent from my SM-G970U using The Garage...

Just got back from Meijer in Saginaw MI. All Tekton tools 50% off and they still had a good selection. Sent from my SM-G970U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Mine is 18' x 10' insulated steel and it lifts it fine - going on 2 years.

Data collection from Grattan.....

My HF trap/reg/lube just failed after 1 month of light use. It took a ton of work to get all the leaks to seal and the gage did not fit without a little grinding. I paid $20 for and didn't expect alot out of it, but geez. I ended up buying the Kobalt (Lowes) regulator and filter. Looks good...

By the way guys - I used the $5 off coupon at Lowes today. Cashier asked the manager - no worries. I asked just on a whim - never hurts to ask I guess.

I was at lowes (saginaw, MI) and found a bunch of the individual sockets on sale - no deals on rachets though.

um.... yes....

69 configuration? I'm not familiar with that position-er-configuration. Maybe you could direct me to someplace on the web that would have a pictorial (or even a video) of what you are suggesting?

I have mine loaded front to back with no issues. side to side - they would fall over.

I've bought 5 sets of the CMans (w/ $5 coupon). They come in sets of 3 (1/4, 3/8 & 1/2) or in individual rails. They work great. I did see the south-side China version at HF also. you might check there. I have not tried the $5 coupon at HF, but would not surprised if they took it. Worth a shot...

I've heard of them, but can't find them for sale. Anyone know where to buy or have any experiece with them? Does it help reduce the noise level?

I used 4 so far in the Bay City, MI Sears. I was shot down at the Saginaw, MI Sears. That store has an ******* manager that pimped :pimpflash me on another deal (not that I'm bitter) so I'm not suprised.

All my Roloc disks are in a tupperware bowl. Anybody got anything better? How about sanding disks or grinding wheels for that matter?

I just bought the 16 1/5" Jet a couple of months ago at Menards. It was marked down to $269 from $369. They are closing it out and no longer carrying it. And they took a 20% off coupon from HF to boot. You might check around if you have a Menards in the area. I really like the drill press and it...
