I noticed that you put your rubber pad on top of the metal saddle. Is that the proper way to do it? I removed the metal saddle and put the rubber one in its place...to keep it more low-profile. I guess it doesn't matter?

Yes, the drop speed takes some getting used to (it's quite sensitive) but once you get the hang of it, no biggie. Just don't start turning the handle really fast :) Ultgar, if you ever get any more of those orange wheels, let me know! Dan

PI Split Beam - cannot go wrong with it!

Lawnmower has been winterized, ready for storage. Snowblower is ready to go. Putting on winter tires this weekend. Insulate the water taps outside. Almost ready to go :)

Great! Thanks for that tidbit :) I'm really happy with my DK13HLQ and I agree - if I ever decide to sell it, it would have better resale value...however, I plan on keeping it for a long time :thumbup:

thanks - I ended up getting the DK13HLQ. I compared it to the DK20 and I prefer the length and the lifting height of the DK13HLQ. The only negatives are that it costs more and it doesn't have the same lift capacity but 2900 lbs should be sufficient for my needs.

I'm in Canada and they are available in town so I am going to look at both models tomorrow. The DK13HLQ is $300-$400 more expensive than the DK20 so I'm trying to decide whether it's worth the cost. Granted, these jacks are overpriced now (as opposed to even 3-4 years ago). Since it will be a...

Trying to decide between these two fine jacks. Both low profile, excellent quality and expensive! As far as I can see, the DK20 can lift more (4400 pounds vs 2900 pounds) but the DK13HLQ is longer, has a higher lift (29" vs 20") and can reach deeper. The DK13HLQ is also lot more expensive...

:rocker: for the PI split beam...if you only need to torque to 30lbs, you would be better off with the 3/8 drive...

Isn't the Ranger Model RFJ2TX a clone of the DK13HLQ? I might give Flema Products a call tomorrow...

Good point - that's why I was hoping some Ranger owners would speak up and either confirm or dispute Hackmechanic's comments. Not sure if Hackmechanic got a bad model or if this is indicative of the Ranger jack but I'd like to know the pros & cons before possibly purchasing one... the ATD jack...

Is it easy to remove the saddle (I have one of those square replacement rubber saddles to protect the frame)? -Dan

Since the Ranger RJF-3000LPF and the ATD-7325 are about the same price right now, does anybody recommend one over the other? It seems like the reviews are good for both....

Received my PI torque wrench from them this week. Free delivery, only took 2 days and a smooth transaction overall.

I understand that some people might think that using an expensive torque wrench for lug nuts, etc might be overkill but I'm just picky like that. I'm going to be using my torque wrench for 3 different cars, two of them which have expensive rims and rotors so for me, I want to torque them...

thanks Treeman and Charles - I just ordered the PI from Tooltopia! Can't go wrong at that price :) Dan

Thanks for all the responses guys. I agree that it would probably make sense to go with the 30-150 ft./lb range. The thing I'm struggling with is that I really want the Precision Instruments split beam 1/2" and the range is 40-250. I'm guessing that even with that big a range, it will do a...

I'm going to pick up a torque wrench primarily for working on my tires. The recommended torque is 80lbs. Would I be better off getting a wrench with a range of 30-150lb ft or 40-250lb ft? I know that it's good to get a wrench in which you'd be using the sweet spot most of the time but since...

Nice wrench! I'm about to pick up the PI version. Looks very similar to the Snap-On model...

Too bad I only saw this today - I think that's the exact model I'm looking for...
