    Hanging a Gladiator cabinet flush with a doorway

    I want to hang a cabinet right next to a doorway (so the cabinet is touching the doorway trim). My measurements show the wall studs are 16" OC, but the first stud (at the doorway) is under the trim. If I install a 48" length of Gear Track, I will catch 3 studs and then there will be 14" span...

    Bendpak bridge jack RJ-45 losing pressure can't lift

    My manual doesn't have any troubleshooting steps, and Bendpak is closed until Monday morning. My RJ45 is a couple years old and has been problem free since I got it. But today, as I was lowering my car, I noticed that when I let go of the handle, the jack kept lowering instead of stopping. When...

    Plywood behind drywall - stud finder doesn't work

    My garage is finished, and there appears to be a layer of plywood between the drywall and the studs. I've tried a couple of different stud finders and they both can't detect the stud through the plywood (including one that is supposed to have a deeper scanning range). They both work on the...

    How to sanitize a flooded unfinished basement (cement flooring)?

    We had storm on Monday along with a power failure, and my sump pit overflowed into my unfinished basement, flooding it with about a foot of water. It all ended up draining through the sewer drain, but now I am left with the cleanup, since it is not covered under my policy. Since there's a...

    Anyone have any experience with a BendPak HD-7W?

    I thought I had my mind made up on an HD-9, but the drive-through height is just a touch too close for comfort if I ever wanted to park my minivan under it. On paper, the HD-7W seems to have all the same dimensions as the HD-9, but with higher lifting height, shorter approach ramps, and lower...

    Can a Big Maxx be mounted close to the floor instead of the ceiling?

    I'm currently heating my garage with a Mr. Heater 60,000 BTU propane heater which sits on the floor near the back wall pointed at the garage doors. It heats the space quickly to t-shirt temps, and I have to shut it off or it gets too hot. The fan is powerful (and loud), but doesn't seem to blow...

    Bendpak HD-9 side clearance

    If I were to install an HD-9 right against a wall, can anyone tell me what the clearance would be between the wall and the outer edge of the runway, in each of the two adjustable positions? This measurement isn't shown in any of the data sheets. Thanks.

    Opinions wanted - Mastercraft Maximum, Homak, or Trinity?

    Hi everyone, I've been considering a new tool chest and need your opinions. Here's what I've narrowed it down to: 1. Costco (US) has the Trinity 42" set in stainless for $999. I'm pretty sure this is the same model the Canadian warehouses carried up until a few years ago. I was close to...
