    40 year old car ramps died, need a good replacement.

    I am scared to get under a vehicle sitting on stamped sheet metal or plastic Car Ramps. I made ramps years back out of Pine 2x10's When not in use I stand them up on ends. I dont worry anymore about getting Crushed by a Heavy Vehicle. Sent from my SM-J737VPP using Tapatalk

Made it a lot easier. You don't have to hold them hard. Just a bit of tension so you could pull off the bolt when...

    High Flow Air fittings Compressor

    I have had that problem, I switched all couplers to 3/8" bodys kobalts and it was fixed. The 1/4" body restricts the flow even just one. Best part is most of my friends dont even ask to barrow air tools anymore. Semi trucks use even bigger ones. Sent from my LG-K540 using Tapatalk
