    Bowling alley lanes

    If I still lived out there I'd take some. They make really nice workbench tops. If I remember correctly the first part of the lane, closest to the bowler, has the best hardwood in it.

    Building a Bend Pak HD9XW

    Once I get my two post put up I probably won't use my jack as much and even now sometimes it seems like it's in the way so I often take it off the lift when I'm not using it. People have mentioned how hard it is to take it on and off but it's really easy if you use a furniture type dolly.

    Building a Bend Pak HD9XW

    kbs2244, That's the main reason I tied my two hydraulic lines together with the cable ties. Running together seemed to keep them headed more in the direction they were supposed to go and not coiling and running towards the cables and cross beam on the lift. They really do need something to...

    Building a Bend Pak HD9XW

    I was looking at mine this morning thinking I might try doing it the way you did. That would eliminate the problems with the coiled airline running out at the angle it does and catching on things. The big piece of flex conduit would be nice but doing it this way would save on drilling a new...

    Building a Bend Pak HD9XW

    Junkman, Don't worry about going to the trouble to loosen the bolts up. If you just take a picture of it put together then I can probably figure out the rest. From what I can imagine it must be kind of an L shaped bracket with a couple of holes on one side to mount to the point where the motor...

    Junkman, Does this look something like the product they are running your lines in? http://www.precisionppi.com/corrugated_flexible_conduit.php

    Building a Bend Pak HD9XW

    Junkman, Thanks for taking the time to take the additional pictures, I really appreciate it. I've seen tubing / conduit and fitting that looked similar to what is used on your lift. I can't think of what it's called but I may think of it later or look it up in an electrical supply catalog...

    Building a Bend Pak HD9XW

    Junkman, In your pictures I can just barely see the plastic tube that the air and hydraulic lines run through. It looks like it could be some type of flexible electrical conduit, do you think that's what it is? I was hoping by now I could post a review / pictures of the adapter that I bought...

    18V Pivoting Reciprocating Saw $90

    I really like my Hatchet. I've got another Milwaukee cordless Sawzall that came in a new set that I got last year. The new one is no where near the quality of the Hatchet. It works ok but I hate the speed control on the new one, it's hard to make low speed cuts with it. I'm thinking about...

    Building a Bend Pak HD9XW

    Junkman, The way your lines run from the pump, and the air release look to be an improvement over what I have on my HD-12 that I purchased earlier this year. I will have to see if I can convert mine to where I can run the lines that way and not have the air line under so much tension. What...

    hair clipper for the kids

    We killed a couple of cheap Whals like the kind they sell at Wal-mart. A couple years ago we bought a Oster Golden A5. It's used for grooming pets and larger animals. It works great for cutting my hair and we've got a couple of dogs we trim up with it too. They've got lots of different...

    18V Pivoting Reciprocating Saw $90

    If you buy one make sure you check the battery when you get it. Milwaukee had a recall on some of their 18V ni-cads. If it turns out to be old stock it could possibly have a recalled battery. Check their site or call them to check the model number date code. I had two that were recalled...

    Was stuff like their fuel line & a/c disconnect tools, axle nut sockets and stuff marked down or was it just basic hand tools?

    Advance auto is selling GW tools.

    I guess it just happened that everything I looked at there last night was from China, I looked at some ratchets, socket holders, extensions, wrench set, etc. Probably 8 or 9 packages. I'm going to look more next time I go in. I might buy one of the socket holders to test it and see how it...

    Advance auto is selling GW tools.

    Steve, Thanks for the info. I recently bought another set of ratcheting wrenches from Sears and it still said made in Taiwan, it must have been old stock. I looked at your new ratchets at Advance last night, they look pretty nice.

    Advance auto is selling GW tools.

    The Gear Wrench stuff I've bought over the last couple of years at Lowes and Sears all said it was made in Taiwan if I remember correctly. I stopped in Advance tonight, everything I saw there said it was made in China. When did they change?

    Wiring lights and plugs in a metal building

    I used to live there and looked into that several years ago but I can't remember what the code is. I'm wiring my metal building now and plan to put metal panels up on the inside but it's going to be a couple of years before I get to it so I'm using MC since the walls will be open for a while...

    Milwaukee M-Spector Digital Inspection Camera

    I bought the Ridgid one and returned it. The head was too big to fit in any small areas. Also you really couldn't see anything all that clearly with it. For instance I looked in some walls with it and if you didn't know what you were looking at you couldn't see it well enough to really figure...

    Grinder: Handheld vs. Standup (Commercial)

    menz300, How does your Bosch grinder doing at picking up the dust if you use a decent sized shopvac with it? I've got a large shop to do, about 2400 square feet but I'm going to have to do it in about five sections, over a year so I thought I might buy the 1773AK rather than renting a larger...
