Sorry for the real late reply, they are concrete anchors that you buy from supply store. The thing I found when I was searching, was that almost all new anchors are the same tensile strength, just get it in the correct size, I think mine were 3/4 diameter, and approx 3-4" long. They were a...

I bought a used one for 1800 ( about 1/2 price in canada). There is not too much that really vac go wrong with them, check for leaks around the fittings, 1 of mine were cracked and leaking, but easy to replace, as well check for any scraping in the lift mechanisms ( inside the columns) and...

I got a set of those, I use them for everything! If the button disappears ( screwed on) you just have a smaller peice to push on, but they work normally!

Mine came attached to my house, the list of things I added while they were building and checking what was supplied -enough power to run anything you'd like, sub panel if you don't know where things are going -concrete thick enough for a 2 post lift. -gas line and plug for a heater -I had a hot...

I just bought mine used, and once it was bolted down the jeep went up into the air for 4 days! I love this thing, and can't imagine ever going back to a jack and stands. I wasn't sure about the height either but I can now sit on a stool and roll around underneath of the vechicle, **** is not...

Looks like the ones I bought at lowes.

Can you get a u Chanel or square tubing around it, to prevent it from pivoting? As long as it goes over both pieces it should not pivot.

If it was me, I would decide what I want to do in the garage. As that will change the electrical need,as well as benches, storage, lighting, etc. but your plan sounds good do far!

All the set screw on the knobs for us are Allen keys, ( internal wrenching ) to tighten, and all switches are held in with jam nuts. Normal 6 point nut stuff.

I can't think of any spline drive on any of the aircraft I work on, all regional jets and turbo props( bombardier) most of it's 12pts, and all 1/4 drive, I rarely bring out the 3/8 and 1/2 for tire changes!

If you got room go for the trailer and some cheep tool boxes, if not, I use pelican cases for work travel ( aircraft mechanic) it takes a bit of time to plan out how to use the space inside, but once done, you can quickly look and see if something is missing/forgot to pack. You can get them in...

I'd say it's aircraft, if I was to guess I'd say it's the low pressure storage tank to keep the door seals inflated, usually to 18-20 psi. You have the stem so we can fill it with out starting the engines/APU. Is there any date codes on it? P/n? Any other opening on it? Any other opening? If...

Building out in Chestemere, I'm looking forward to having a garage. I've been working in the elements for too long now. I'll make sure that I ask for the panel to be surface mounted, unless it's code for it not to be. The issue I have with the builder putting in plugs, is they will make them...

Thanks for the welcome.
