    Bendpak or Dannmar???? Are they the same?

    I guess I need to get out there and find both lifts. Look them over, ask the owners what they like/dislike about their lifts, and go from there. I will (more than likely) go with the Bendpak, but I just want to see if they are the same. Model numbers and the basic description are identical...

    Bendpak or Dannmar???? Are they the same?

    Are they made by the same people with the same materials. Will the Dannmar pass the certification but will not go through the process just to keep their prices lower than Bendpak. If they perform the same in all aspects (including weight limits), why would you want to pay the extra $500+ for a...

    Bendpak or Dannmar???? Are they the same?

    Has anyone physically seen both the Bendpak XPR-10ACX and the Dannmar D-10ACX? They both have the single piece columns and look pretty identical. The specs look almost identical. The Dannmar does NOT come certified. I wonder if it is a part of Bendpak and just rebadged. It is about $500...

    Do you change your own oil in all vehicles?

    I change all of mine. I run Rotella T6 (almost 4 gallons @ $19.50 a gallon) in my 05 powerstroke. The other 5 powerstrokes get the Rotella t5 which is about $12/gl. I would hate to see what a lube shop would charge to change my oil. As mentioned above...the fumoto valve is awesome.

    Oil Change Container

    I feel you on needing to buy oil by the drum pgreen. I have an 05 F250 (15qts), 94 F250, 95 F250, 95 F350, 96 F350 (14-16qts each), 08 wrangler (6qts), 95 trooper (5 qts). Everytime I change oil, I pour it into a 5 gallon bucket with a popup spout so I can transport it to the recycling center...

    2 Block High 6" Wall in garage how to handle doorways?

    I did the walk thru door as mentioned above, but for the garage door I left it an inch and a half short on each side so I could run the 2x10 to the ground and wrap them. The walk thru door should already have the trim around the whole door. The garage door does not. I have 3 and a half...

    Lets see your SHOPRAGS, no really

    The cloth rags have changed within the year at my local advance auto. I used to buy the red ones, but now they are so thin and not really absorbant. You can even see through them. The blue shop paper towels are all I use now. And old t-shirts.

    Another what power wire to run to garage thread

    Wow, this is getting deep and very confusing. Check with your inspection office. If they say you can run Al wire, run it. It is cheaper when compared to copper. I would do what Aceman said above. The only difference in your house panel and your new garage load center would be that in the...

    Another what power wire to run to garage thread

    Correct. While I was doing my research and picking everybody's brain as well as scouring the NEC, runs over 100' would require the next larger size of wire if you wanted the 100amp service. There are some wire calcs on the net somewhere. That is alot of pull/pushing to get the wire into the...

    How to deal with June bugs

    Man, I hate those things.... Bugzappers dont work that well on them. There are so many and all you hear is the constant buzzing of a few getting caught at a time then the sounds of them blowing up. It doesn't sound like a mosquito getting zapped. More like a gunshot. A rollup screen would be...

    Another what power wire to run to garage thread

    I ran 115' of aluminum 2-2-2-4 from Lowe's in conduit from box to box. It is rated at 100 amps but I only have a 60amp breaker feeding it from the house. It was the least expensive way. If you run the single wire (you are gonna need 4) thhn/thhw it will be very expensive. Two ground rods 6'...

    Best Place to get Garage Plans

    I am in the eastern part of NC. I just finished my 24x36 garage. I pulled all the permits myself. Just go to your local inspections/permit office. Mine were very helpful with the tons of questions I had. I asked what they looked for during each inspection. They gave me examples of how I...
