I've got half a dozen sets or so of GearWrench wrench sets and they are pretty nice! I think they compare favorably to some US made brands are better than others. It would be nice to always buy US stuff but this seems to be one case of where the import stuff has some the stuff made here beat...

All of this reminds me of an accident waiting to happen at a small shop in my town. I've driven by a few times and see the guy using a tractor with pallet forks on it to lift one end of a car or truck up 2 - 3 feet while he's got a single block of wood behind one of the rear tires. One of...

E-tek, If you only knew the whole story then you might see things differently. Unfortunately you only get bits and pieces of it hear from JSK. He picks and chooses what he wants to tell you here, often leaving out the parts that make BendPak look bad. None of this stuff over the last few...

We will see. If he either gives me the product or the refund then that will be professional. Keeping a customers money and not giving them a working product is not what I call professional. From what I understand a refund was sent out today. They've had my money about 7 weeks now so it's not...

Jeff, I've responded to your email, waiting to hear back from you again. You have to understand it's hard for me too and at times I might be the one putting on the "fake smile" because this has been a long haul for me to get this HD-12 working the way it was supposed to work, and it was...

Krusty, I was in a Pep Boys in Nashville TN a few weeks ago and they had several of them on clearance for about 75% off of the new cost. If you have a Pep Boys near you it might be worth checking to see if they've marked them down in your local store. If it was closer I'd offer to pick one up...

I was just looking at those pictures again and watched the video. Unless they moved the car away from where he was working it looks like he was working on the dirt. If he only used a jack and didn't even have it on a solid surface that makes the chance of failure even greater. Years ago I had...

Blue, Thanks for posting the story. No wonder I couldn't find it there was no lift involved. My wife said she was only half paying attention to the story and thought it had involved a lift. That guy is lucky to still be alive. That's a good example of why you should follow proper procedures...

The garage doors on one of my shop buildings have some small windows in them. The previous owner said he'd added them after the doors were installed. I asked him where he got them and he said he went to a glass shop and had some glass cut in some roughly oval shapes to the size he wanted. The...

Junkman, Your idea is a valid one and I can see why you think it would be a good idea but at this point I've got so much of my time and money invested in this HD-12 lift. Back at the first of the year if I'd have known how much I was going to go through I'd have would most certainly have asked...

I just found out the same thing. My local stores says they are $49.99 now, they didn't know anything about the lower price. Whoever posted the original post on this thanks for letting us know about the offer.

Junkman, I'm simply asking him here in public because that was the only way he's chosen to respond to me in over a month. If you were in a position like me where you received a product that didn't work correctly (failed the first time it was used), a replacement was promised but then they...

Thanks for the info. It's always nice to hear from someone that has actually used the product. Some of those stools are pretty unstable when they are up to the talk of their adjustment but it doesn't sound like these are too bad.

JSK, Please contact me directly so we can resolve some issues with this "special jack adapter". You can call me, email, or send a private message here if you like. I am going to send you a private message with my phone number and email in case you no longer have them. You said last night on a...

Kartracer, From your picture it looks like you have one already. How do you like them? Does the upholstery on them seem to be fairly durable? I need a couple of new stools for my shop, you can't beat that price

My wife said she was watching CNN yesterday and saw a story of a man that was trapped under a vehicle he was working on when it fell from a lift. She couldn't remember all the specifics but said that man had a young son that used a forklift to lift the vehicle off of him, thus saving him. I...

Junkman, I'll ignore the comments you made about me but I will say that MAC does have an excellent warranty. Until recently I didn't have a dealer near me. I had a ratchet come apart like the original poster, I mailed it in and a week or so later received a new one. It was fast and excellent...

I had bad luck with vacuums not lasting long. We bought a Dyson about 4 years ago and except for replacing a Hepa filter on it we haven't had to do anything else to it. We've used the heck out of it too, some of the stuff it was being used for should have probably been done with a shop vac. My...

If they are lights that are still currently manufactured you might trying going on the manufacturers site for specs. Often times they have diagrams that show you the angle the light is put out at, etc. It would be overkill in your case but I had a 40x60 shop I was putting lights in and I went...

I went to the tiny little independtly owned Sears store in the town next to our town. Turns out he had one of the lowers in stock and will exchange mine. I wasn't planning on going there today and didn't think they'd keep something like that in stock so I didn't have it with me but I'm taking...
