    Bendpak extended ramps

    Are these ramps strong? My floor is on a slope, when I hang them obviously a good portion of the ramp wont be making contact with the ground only the tip will. I also have the lip of the garage door in the way (the one that prevents water from coming in), so part of the ramp might rest on that...

    HD9 Installation Questions

    Long day:) I'll cut right to the chase: - The lift is very wobbly and swings side to side if you push the columns. Also, most of the columns are not flush to the ground (I think the base plate isnt straight) as a result columns themselves are not straight with a level (some are crooked outwards...

    Garage door is no longer flush after liftmaster 8500 install

    I installed liftmaster 8500 to one of my doors to gain some headroom for the 4 post lift thats coming. This thing is amazing, so quiet, so modern (I used to have a 30 year old chain based door opener). The small annoyance I have now is there is way too much lateral play on the door when its...

    Some compressor related questions (basics)

    I'm very new to this so I would like ask some basic questions: - Whats the reason why one would go with a 3/8" vs 1/4" air hose? - If you get a 3/8" hose but the quick disconnects in the compressor are 1/4", is that a problem? Do they have converters and do you see any issues with 1/4"...
