    Nut/Bolt/Washer Kit

    I bought a very nice SAE and Metric set from ATD. It came with the bins, labels, ect. Good place to start and then I just refill from TSC or where-ever. The price from ATD was very reasonable.

    Please, I mean no offense, just clarification. I have never understood the use of 1/4" "Impact" sockets. Enlighten me on what one would need 1/4" impact sockets. Once again, no offense meant.

    They may say "Tekton", but they sure look identical to the Harbor Freight ratchets.

    Cotter pin

    This was the way I was taught how to do it in Jet Engine Tech School in the Air Force. I do not know if the Air Force has changed their mind or not, but, it's how it was to be done on all Air Craft maint. as of 2004 when I retired.

    4 Post alignment rack id

    Looks Identical to the 12K lift we have outside the shop at work. I'll take a look tomorrow because at the moment, I can't for the life of me think of the manufacturer.

    garage heat

    I'm pretty sure mine, (175,000 BTU), will run 8-10 hrs on 12-13 gallons. I could be wrong.

    Build as big as you can afford. There is no such thing as too big. Trust me, I never thought I'd fill up my 55x60, but now you can hardly move in there!! LOL !!

    garage heat

    I have a 175,000 BTU torpedo heater that I run #1 offroad diesel in. With the #1 offroad, I don't get the smell and I don't have to put up with the price of kerosene. The offroad portion on the fuel just means you don't pay the road tax on the fuel. Yes it is dyed pink.

    Lifting a flatbed dually on a 2 post lift

    I would just position the lift where you think CG might be, take it up a few inches off the ground and shake the truck from the front and from the rear. You can do this a couple times until it feels right. It's really not that difficult. Don't over think it.

    Shed as Workshop

    12x20 slab complete here would be about $1000.00. (Just the completed slab with prepwork included) Since you're in Commiefornia, expect 2-3 times that.

    Combination bolt and screw?

    Always called them Lag Screws. I think a lot of these terms depend on where you are raised. Different areas of the country have several different names for the same item.
