    Any one Know where I can get a steel storage cabinet?

    When I lived in San Diego I used to pick up cabinets like that cheap from some of the aerospace companies there. One of them in particular had a yard where they sold stuff off at unbelievable prices. I think I only paid about $5.00 each for a few large storage cabinets. You could also get...

    Kobalt Anti-Corrosion Drawer Liner

    Make sure when you buy it that each roll you buy says it is anti-corrosion and contains Zerust. At my local Lowes they get boxes of the liner in from time to time and it looks identical, even has the same SKU #, but it's just regular liner and is not treated with the Zerust. On those rolls the...

    distance from front and back of garage to 2 post lift?

    I was thinking about going with about 12' between the front of the lift and the other lift. I think that will give me enough space for most vehicles I'd end up working on but you never know what you will end up with that you want to put on the lift. The space behind the lift won't be an issue...

    distance from front and back of garage to 2 post lift?

    I've had my Bendpak XPR10AC 2 post lift sitting here since the end of last summer and finally am getting a chance to install it in about a week. I'm trying to decide exactly where I should position the lift in my shop. Those of you that have symetric 2 post lifts how far from your garage...

    Sears shelving on sale

    For the sale price they probably aren't a bad deal if you are willing to work with them a little to get everything to fit together well. I bought two of them a few months ago and they aren't near the quality of the Gorilla Rack brand shelves (at least the ones I have). They are made from...

    Tossed up between a Challenger and bendpak

    There have been some recent reports of people dealing with Bendpak's customer service and they seem to have had favorable results. Maybe Bendpak has gotten their act together now and has their customer service running smoothly. When I purchased a HD-12 four post from them last year I had...

    Bendpak HD9 Question

    Setting up the lift isn't hard if you have some help and or a good way to lift the pieces up. I put my HD-12 together by myself and used my tractor with pallet forks on it to lift the runways into place. Lots of people put them together with the help of friends and or an engine hoist to lift...

    New equipment to set up!

    In theory you can leave the jack on the lift all the time and push it out of the way when it's not in use. In actual use there are times that's it easier to take the ******** the lift and have it completely out of your way. That's why I went to keeping mine on a dolly when not in use. The...

    New equipment to set up!

    Etek, here's a simple way to take your rolling jack on and off your lift without breaking your back. 1. Get a furniture dolly like this one: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=38970 2. Set your dolly next to one of the runways on your lift. If the dolly doesn't...

    "Roll Up" doors, Janus brand?

    I've got two of their roll-up doors on my shop building. I can't remember the model numbers that I have, I'll have to look tomorrow. I think they are a good basic door. I only had one problem and that's that I did have a warranty issue they wouldn't take care of. The drive mechanism on the...

    Photo of Craftsman Dual-Marked Socket

    How long has it been since they sold one that was engraved / stamped only? I saw some in a store the other day, the letter code on them was G2. Are those old stock?

    Dewalt Impact Driver Accessory Set Qs

    I used to use the Bosch bits with no problems at all. A few days ago I put in about 200 screws using the Bosch bits and managed to break six of them. It does seem like their newer bits might be over hardened.

    Black Friday Ad - Sears

    Billymade, How does the price guarantee work with website purchases? For example if I went on the website right now and purchased a socket set for $30.00 and next week an ad comes out that has that same item number in it on sale for $20.00 can I still get the difference credited back? If it...

    Bend Pak Owners..

    E-Tek, when you saw my name here you probably thought I was going to post something negative but I'm not, I just have a question. Just out of curiosity when you use those casters to move your lift around does it stay pretty squared up and level assuming the spot you move it to is level or do...

    That's true! I should take a picture of mine but I'm not sure I have room to get in the door to take a picture now.

    Show Us Yours For $$$

    Rick, I think you've made some improvement on it since the pictures were taken. You managed to get me to take some stuff out of there and put in mine, that doesn't do much for getting mine all neat and organized! LOL

    new husky tool box

    Bchee, Yes I paid $150.00 for both pieces. I got really lucky getting it for that price. We don't go to Sam's often because it's a long drive from here. We just happened to stop in that day and there in their closeout section was the box sitting there. The regular price on it said it was...

    new husky tool box

    It looks nearly identical to a box that Sams Club has been selling off and on. That box is called Steel Glide, it's manufactured by CSPS. Did it say where the box is made? The last couple of CSPS boxes I've seen said they were made in Vietnam. I picked up one of the Sams boxes on closeout...

    Zerust Drawer Liner Material from Lowes. Anyone use it?

    That's what I'm not sure of. That might be how it works, if it works at all. I guess I might purchase a small roll of it and test it with some water to see what it does.
