    American Floor Jack

    Received the 3ton "Made in USA" HW Jack today and used it to help lift my car for diagnoses... The good news is that it is a BEAST compared to my Chinese made 3.5ton jacks and rolls around on the concrete effortlessly unlike the Chinese jacks that sort of slide with force, I shouldn't have any...

    American Floor Jack

    I am trying to decide between the Milwaukee 4ton or the Gray 3ton. Will use it on cars and trucks most of the time and even though I dont run a shop I do alot of car work... The minimum heights and max heights are about an inch shy of each other, but the price is the biggy. I cannot seem to...

    Matco Tools is repoing tools and contents because Im $130.00 behind??

    There is always that friend of a friend Policeman who shows up in uniform that charges $60 for the first hour and $30 for each additional hour, it has a tendency to make transactions go smoother. I guess a video camera helps tremendously as well as it keeps the stupidness contained when the...

    Looking for a Compressor.. Input appreciated :)

    Looks good and the price does as well. Could pick up that Eaton and grab a 25 or 30 gallon tank to plumb in and you would be set, or perhaps have them build it for you. I have a 60g Eaton 5hp two stage in my garage and purchased a Speedaire 1NNF7 for my fathers garage. That portable Eaton...

    Ranger Floor Jacks

    Purchased the Ranger RFJ2TX, made in China.... First one was defective and was returned, second one is GREAT! I use it on VW MKIV, Porsche 951, and Porsche 968 which all are lowered on coils, then used it for a '95 Landcruiser lift install. The main problem is that it's pricey, then second is...

    shop press choices:

    I looked at the HF versions and even considered the mil order only air over hydraulic 35t that's listed on the online catalog... The local HF store only had the bottle jack variety in stock and to me they had lots of play in the side rails. I looked at the Ranger again and did not like it due...

    shop press choices:

    (howdy, i'm a new member) I am in the middle of rebuilding a VW FWD transaxle and now need a new tool, a press. So far I have narrowed it down to these models that should suffice for ******/differential work, suspension bushings, and other odds and ends maybe swaging a few bullets. $581 Omega...
