    Need to downsize my toolbox...How much for my current KRL1003?

    No worries...If it goes up for sale, you can tell a friend to buy it. I have been looking for a reasonably priced replacement for this one and still haven't found it. I want (and need) the floor space, but i'm not going to pay to to go to a 2 bank. I don't want a hutch..or top box..The only...

    Need to downsize my toolbox...How much for my current KRL1003?

    Let's try this again: I should have known that everyone would jump on the photo I posted...That was a cropped photo I had from some garage work I was doing...I took some photos today to show the condition of the box a bit better. Please note you can see my car sitting under it's car cover as...

    Need to downsize my toolbox...How much for my current KRL1003?

    *SOLD 5/27* I'm trying to regain some space in my garage by downsizing my toolbox. I would like to go down to a two-bank box (thinking KRL1001) It's in good shape, normal scratches, all drawers slide perfectly. $3000-ish range? Regardless of the cost to purchase I never viewed this box as an...

    Non-Snap on tools that are as good

    Although my impact guns (3/8 and 1/2") and air ratchets (1/4 and 3/8") are all Snap-On, I would buy Ingersoll over them in a heart beat. I bought them from Pawn shops at an incredible prices, so the cost was a huge factor... Like someone stated already..it's really user preference. In my...

    Your First MaxJax: What to Expect

    I have a hard time believing the bars are made out of anything other than steel tubing..If that was stopping me from using the lift I would call Danmar and ask for what the specs were on a bar, make two until they get the proper ones to me.

    Your First MaxJax: What to Expect

    The first time I spoke with Jeff, my understanding was that the initial units were to go out to users for feedback. The safety and preliminary tests are done by the company to ensure it meets their standards...The receiving, intall, and usage tests were going to be from "actual users". That's...

    Your First MaxJax: What to Expect

    I was listed "#4" on the official list they posted for the group buy. However I wasn't one of the initial 12 to receive a lift...They should have sent that one to me, because I would have taken care of those MINOR details myself................

    Taskforce Air hose reel $23.99 Lowes

    Not sure if it was meant to be one..But thanks for the mini-lecture. I don't think the effort of browsing the net for a few minutes, printing out a page and going to Lowe's to save $55 on a single item is anywhere near what it takes me to EARN that $55 at work. You can ***** all you want...

    Taskforce Air hose reel $23.99 Lowes

    Since day one of this thread I had hoped to get this same deal...Last night I finally broke down and decided to search ALL of my local stores' sites to find one at the $23.99 price..Well sure enough I found two stores (within 80mi) that had the reels. Based on the success of others using a store...

    MaxJax Group Buy Announcement

    It states in the installation instructions that if 100 lb.ft of torque can't be achieved (meaning the anchors come out or spin) to replace the concrete. If they spin in the new concrete I have poured in the garage, then I might give a second thought to their instructions. -Gabe

    Your First MaxJax: What to Expect

    Awesome! Can't to see my car in the same position...I was wondering what you used for a distance between the columns? When I laid out my new concrete pads I took into account the size of my car and truck and the recommended widths on the site. -Gabe

    Your First MaxJax: What to Expect

    I am one of the original guys one the list, but haven't gotten a call yet with a shipping date. Not sure how the order of shipping is laid out, so there may be others with the unit on the way that haven't posted yet. -Gabe

    Preparation for MaxJax

    Interesting idea...When it's bolted down it will look more like a traditional mounting setup, nuts and washer. You might even be able to get some high strength threaded rod for your idea depending on the thread pitch of the supplied bolts. I plan on drilling through as well and was planning on...

    Preparation for MaxJax

    Drilling through rebar is possible, however you don't want to be using a concrete bit to do so...I didn't want to chance ruining a nice new masonry bit when the first hole I drill is directly into rebar..If you are going with the minimum 6" depth that is required, I would consider doing the...

    Preparation for MaxJax

    I didn't go with fiber-reinforced or rebar..It would have been great to add those as well as having a depth 3x the minimum, but I felt comfortable with a normal mix of concrete and a 12" depth. The mix has an accelerator to help it cure faster, and my garage is climate controlled so it won't...

    Preparation for MaxJax

    Thanks guys! The instruction from the Maxjax site mentioned to "key" replacement slabs under the existing floor so I made sure to follow that. Junkman was definitely on point with his tips. I trust the the ready mix company that delivered my concrete because they have an excellent reputation...

    Preparation for MaxJax

    I called the local ready mix yesterday and they were able to come today at 8:30 to deliver the concrete. Last night after work I finished the prep work. My wife snapped a couple photos of me removing the sand down to a depth just shy of 12". There is now a nice pile of sand on the side of my...

    Preparation for MaxJax

    I'm far from an engineer, this is my idea of how forced is applied to the anchors: The back anchors are the ones that bear the most tension, and on the MaxJax there are no front fasteners used. I'm not taking the risk with some sections as shallow as 2" in my garage to try a wedge anchor that...

    ive been ripped off

    That really really *****. Sounds like the items should be able to be replaced, which helps relieve some of the stress. The way I look at it, if they want your stuff they will find any way to get it. You can lock the doors but they'll just break-in anyways. An unlocked door does not turn an...
