    Torsion Spring Maintenance

    Garage door lubricant on the spring, rotating bits of the bar, and hinges. 3-in-1 and Blaster both make some. It's basically silicone spray with Teflon. I don't have a chain due to the jackshaft setup. Don't lube inside the tracks or the outside surface of the rollers as it will just encourage...

    Dannmar D4-9X lift anyone got one?

    I should have been a bit more clear, Dannmar products are being produced and sold by Bendpak. I don't know how their product family slots into the overall lineup though. https://www.dannmar.com/company/bendpak/

    Dannmar D4-9X lift anyone got one?

    I don't know that I would jump in with them just yet. Old Dannmar went out of business last year and their IP was bought by Bendpak (I don't see how they can tout their "longstanding reputation". And to me, their reputation is of lying about 45 second lift times when mine won't even get to the...

    WiFi Extenders

    It's a wireless bridge, not an extender/repeater. Mesh only solves the coverage problem if you have short hops between stations. With mesh, you're paying for convenience and ease of setup. But you can save money with a wireless bridge setup if you know what your requirements are.

    I think post #10 https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9002982&postcount=10 is a good rule of thumb for anyone who doesn't want to bury a wire. How far do you need to go?

    ALI certified for four post lifts?

    I'd go Atlas, Direct-Lift/Forward, or Bendpak. I ruled out Bendpak because I don't have compressed air for the locks. Another thought is how high you want to lift. I got the extra long/tall so I wouldn't have to worry about ducking, and it's made a world of difference.

    ALI certified for four post lifts?

    ALI was a priority to me during my search. I ended up paying a bit of a premium for the ALI sticker vs other choices. My Dannmar D7/X was/is ALI certified but I have to admit I was disappointed in the build quality, it was not what I expected. They went out of business, it continues to work for...

    WiFi Extenders

    This is wrong in multiple ways. Your device won't connect to the same SSID unless it has the exact same password. If the hacker has your exact password, you have bigger concerns than a fake AP. (Like a hacker lurking in your freaking driveway, haha) Obtaining passwords depends on if the website...

    Butcher Block Bench: Husky, Gladiator, ?

    My vise is mounted with wood screws but I don't load it up so it doesn't need to be overbuilt. Your other option is to add a topper wood piece under your vise that can be secured with through-bolts wherever you need, then have some studs coming up through for the vise.

    Butcher Block Bench: Husky, Gladiator, ?

    OK, they say the steel is different, but the weight capacity of option 1 is 700lbs less than option 2. So you're paying more for less capacity (and 20lbs more weight to lug around). I too like the built in power strip but I'd find a way to attach one. Edit: the reviews are pretty negative about...

    Butcher Block Bench: Husky, Gladiator, ?

    I have option 2 (8-foot version) but would also consider option 3. Option 2 is ridiculously stout. I don't understand the folding legs part of option 1, who's going to fold up a 120lb table and store it?

    Killing invasive vines with a turkey injector

    Roundup/glyphosate is most effective when absorbed through leaves, not through roots or vines. If you want to attack vines or roots you probably need something else.

    best place to buy bendpak lifts

    asedeals has a pretty terrible website to sort through but they have $100 off if you sign up for the email list. I got my lift there. I also never got notified it had shipped, so it just showed up one day.

    Pet access door

    I put in a cheap door I didn't mind cutting a hole in. Centered the door over a panel, it was more solidly mounted that way. Bottom and sides sealed using the built-in gasket. Sealed the top with foam weatherstripping. The pet door I bought (Ruff Weather) has 2 flaps with magnetic bottoms. May...
