    Best Oil Absorbing Mats?

    Looks like the Pig Mats has a 30"x40" floor mat that may work well. Their products do look like quality stuff. I just ordered a sample. One question on a mat like this- if I pull in the garage with a snow covered car does it ruin the mat or does the mat just dry out over the span of a few days...

    Best Oil Absorbing Mats?

    I'm looking for a good heavy duty oil absorbing mat (4'x4' roughly) to put underneath my older commuter which has an annoying slow oil drip. I just moved into a new home and haven't had time to do anything with the raw concrete yet so I'm trying to protect it until I can get an epoxy down in the...

    floor finish like Trader Joes

    www.sealsource.com - They are the floor finisher/product supplier for many of the Trader Joe's locations across the US. How do I know? I used to work for them. It can be done it a residential application as well, but it does require some special equipment and know how. If you give them a call...

    Looking for a 4-post Lift like Bendpak HD-9 BUT cheaper! Help!

    10 hours and 1 smashed finger later I got the lift all setup! The fact that the lift adds an extra parking space to the garage + all the convenience of having the lift to service my vehicles really makes it worth the $$!

    Looking for a 4-post Lift like Bendpak HD-9 BUT cheaper! Help!

    DONE! Lift ordered. Thanks guys for your input. I went with the Bendpak HD-9, RJ-45 Jack, and Castor kit. Should have it next week sometime! :thumbup: I'll post some pics once it's all up and together. In the end I decided an extra 1k over the next 30+ years of use is a no brainer. NXGTS...

    What brand lift do you have?

    I noticed your garage in my hours of looking through different lift threads- very cool and unique setup you've got there! With a table platform like that to lift your car do you put some sort of lift block of something under the side rails so that anything hanging lower like exhaust doesn't...

    What brand lift do you have?

    Anyone on here have the Bendpak HD-9 located in SLC, UT or just south of there that I could come take a look at it? Considering pulling the trigger today on this lift, but I would love to see it first! PM me. Thanks!

    Looking for a 4-post Lift like Bendpak HD-9 BUT cheaper! Help!

    I'm just not a fan of the exposed cables, IMO doesn't look good and also seems like a small safety issue Thanks for the input. I do like the idea of the powered scissor jack instead of the hand pump jack. How are these four post lifts if you are working extensively underneath the car on the...

    Looking for a 4-post Lift like Bendpak HD-9 BUT cheaper! Help!

    Did you get yours recently? Price i'm seeing is $2399 and I'm not sure if that includes freight. Also says 4-6 weeks for delivery. Did yours take that long? I'll call them tomorrow and get delivery details. This might be an option. Thanks!

    Looking for a 4-post Lift like Bendpak HD-9 BUT cheaper! Help!

    Thanks for the response. That is one that I have been considering, and it is currently on sell for 1400 + freight, but they are 5 weeks out on delivery. Need something much sooner. Do you have any personal experience with the SS-8000? Wondering how it compares in quality to other lifts. Any...

    Help me find a lift! Help me find a lift (please)! :thumbup: Looking for something like a Bendpak HD-9 with a bridge jack and casters but hoping for something cheaper then the Bendpak. I'm looking for something that doesn't have external cabling like the Direct Lift Pro Park 8S though. I like...

    Looking for a 4-post Lift like Bendpak HD-9 BUT cheaper! Help!

    Love these forums. I've been surfing the forums for WAY too long the last few days looking at lifts. Looking to get a 4 post lift like the Bendpak, but hoping to find something cheaper then the Bendpak but that does not have the cables run externally like the Direct Lift does. It's hard to tell...
