I'm a technician who has been working on engines (non-professionally) for 50 years and this has me stumped. The GX160 is on a Generac pressure washer with an aftermarket CAT pump. It was starting and running very well a few months ago. No hint of a problem. I went to use it the other day and...

I'm considering buying the Yellow Jacket 20-Ton Air/Hydraulic Super-Duty Bottle Jack to replace the jack on our small log splitter. It seems to be sold only at Northern. The reviews there look pretty good, but there aren't very many (and of course it's Northern's website)...

I mistakenly started a thread about this on the Garage Discussion forum. I'm hoping I'll get more replies here. We need to replace the 12 ton air/hydraulic bottle jack in a small log splitter -- approx. 9" tall, maximum base dimensions 6-1/2 x 8-1/2". There are numerous mfrs, and prices range...

We have a Model 12T splitter from All American Log Splitters. It has worked well for us over the years, but the bottle jack finally quit. We have a towable 30 ton splitter from Tractor Supply, but I'd like to replace the bottle jack on the small splitter because it's more convenient if we have...

After reading a bunch of reviews, I settled on these socket holders: https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200677449_200677449 Their list price is higher than Lisle, but with a promo code (Keycode: 270706, $20 off) I was able to bring the cost down to where they were essentially the...

I have a Ryobi drill, model #P220. It has a hammer drill function and 3 speeds. It's been a good drill. The only problem it has is that every once in a while it will not run when the trigger is pulled. That doesn't happen very often and isn't really an issue. We've gone through 2 pairs of...

Does anyone have experience with CorrosionX? If we can believe the mfr, it has magical properties and is the best penetrant, lubricant, and corrosion inhibitor on the planet. I have no reason to doubt them, but I'd like to get some opinions before buying and using it. If it works as...

Thanks to a member of GJ, I was able to get a good deal on a used two post lift a while back. Now I need a hi-lift transmission jack. The price range on them is outrageous -- from about $180 at the low end to $2,700+. Any advice/suggestions as to where I can get a decent ****** jack for a...

In another thread I mentioned that I purchased a used Q10000 lift for $1,500 delivered and said I would create a thread to offer my opinion of it. Basically, so far so good. It seems to be well made where it matters. I am disappointed with a couple things though: 1) The overhead safety...

I have my Quality Lifts Q10000 installed and the last step is the wiring. I'm not an electrician, but I've done a fair share of wiring. I wired the garage, which is 30x40 with a 10x40 guest room above, and ran the sub-feed from the house to the garage. I haven't run wiring for heavy equipment...

In order to install my Q10000 lift, I have to make room in the center rear bay. That means moving a car that's been sitting there for years. Any tips/suggestions for prepping it before trying to start it? I plan to change the oil and also remove the plugs and squirt about 1 oz of oil into...

After some serious research it's come down to two lifts -- the Challenger VS10 and the Daytona TPO310SX. Both are 10K lb rated. Both are ALI/ETL certified. Both are under $3,000 delivered. The VS10 seems like the better lift overall. Anyone have any other suggestions? The Eagle GLO-10-A...

According to these eBay listings, the BendPak XPR-10AC and XPR-10ACX are ALI certified...

Overall (quality, ease of use, safety, customer service, versatility, etc), how satisfied are you with your BendPak _2_ post lift? The 'Poll' option only allows one question, so unfortunately, if your rating is in the middle because (for example) the lift itself is ok but BP's customer service...

NOTE: 9-7-08 I have started another poll to replace this one. Please see, "Overall, How satisfied are you with your BendPak 2 post lift?" I'm sorry this one did not work out the way I planned -- it was my first attempt at a poll. I was hoping to give people a scale of 1 thru 10 but it...

I'm in the process of getting a lift and will need some way of getting vehicles that are disabled into my garage. There isn't enough room to push them straight in, and the apron from the garage floor to the driveway is about 6 feet long and a pretty steep slope. IOW, even 3 or 4 big guys...

I've done several searches and read through a couple long threads but couldn't find an answer so I decided to start a new thread. I'm in the market for a 2 post lift. I'm ready to buy, but as a technician I like to do my research -- especially with major purchases. I'm not set on the 10K...
