    Stud/Dent Puller Head

    I have one of the Harbor Freight auto body stud welders (which I can highly recommend, being the first time I have ever used one).

    Lift Locks Not Working Properly

    I have an older Ben Pearson LAS7, once the lift is raised off the locks, each side has a 'L' shaped lever that get pulled to release the locks.

    No Lift Arm Safety Restraints

    Hello - getting the collective wisdom the the GJ on this. I have a used BP LAS-7 lift that has no arm restraints, nor does it seem to ever have had any or even any attachment points. I believe I have read that some older lifts do not have these. Am I living life dangerously by not having...

    Adding layer of concrete to existing slab
