Just got a generic email from Danmar...Here's the link that was provided in the email. http://www.gesusa.com/Dannmar-MaxJax-Two-Post-Lift-p/1375659.htm -Gabe

Charles, they didn't have a safety cable, and I had never even thought to add one. I had plans to replace both doors, it just so happened to be that same week that I did.

In '05 I closed one of the ancient doors in my garage and had a spring snap and recoil between myself and a friend. It was a very close call and could have ended up horribly...We stood there silent for a second before letting out a "holy ****" or three. I went and found a door setup that I was...

Going to be tough to get anywhere near that for a box. I may sound like a ****, but if you want it gone in a hurry, that's not the right price.

Replaced headgaskets and water pump on a Subaru Outback...Using the money to help pay the bills....

That's because they just photoshopped the "craftsman" logo off the plastic case........I'm sure the real manufacturer didn't have time to print out 27 different labels for who they are reselling too.

It doesn't hurt to buy an American-made product but let's be realistic here, who spends 100% of their money on products made only in the USA? It's not as though Bend-pak is the only company in this country outsourcing to not only save themselves money, but to pass on the savings to it's...

This is what I have been waiting for...awesome!

As an aviation technician in the Coast Guard it was Snap-on. Before I went to aviation school, I was at a small-boat station. There it was a mix of snap-on and craftsman there.

I believe I have the box you are talking about..I bought it to use in my garage before I stopped working as a technician and brought my Snap-on box home. The drawers seem flimsy to me, compared to my KRL1003, but they certainly do the job. I bought the setup as a closeout item, and it was a...

I have officially given up on my quest for the $385 compressor. Big shocker...the two stores that had them in stock in MA claim they "can't match that price because they paid $499 for them"....With that and the cost of a 140+ mi round trip in my gas guzzling truck...It's not worth it. Oh well...

Thanks for the input...I will call and ask if anything can be done. Since there was only one in stock in my entire area I have a feeling they'll tell me to piss off. I'll call back this week.

I called 3 of my local lowes and found the one farthest away has one in stock..The employee in the tool dept told me over the phone that it was $699, and not a discounted price...I don't want to make a 70mi drive to find out for some reason in my region it isn't $385...who's got any ideas? -Gabe

To me that was a good deal based on the condition of the toolbox. If the seller "practically gave it away" he wouldn't be collecting $3,250. Anyone who pays full price for one of those boxes is just throwing their money away based on the HUGE markup done by Snap On dealers...If someone thinks...

On the Sienna he has, he can get a way with not replacing the water pump right now. That's certainly his decision though. I have done the 2nd timing belt (120-180k miles) on a few commuter '04 and up Sienna's and they never had water pump issues. The cam seals occasionally leak, but that is...

Either one will work..Pm and I'll send you my email..Hopefully i'll point you in the right direction, and save you some time and money on tools you might not really need. -Gabe

I just spent the last two years working at Toyota dealership and never had to use any special tools to do the v6 timing belts. In the transverse mounted cars (avalon, camry, sienna) The Sienna as about as easy as they come. The factory repair manual is always nice to follow, but thanks to the...

If you are willing to spend a little, I highly recommend Menzerna products. Especially the "full molecular jacket" kit...By far the easiest wax I have ever used...I got it from a friend who is a dedicated auto detailer. -Gabe

The money I make working on cars in my garage generally pays for upgrades to the garage. New tools, Parts for my own vehicles, etc. Sometimes I barter for services (electrical and plumbing, two things I prefer to have done up to code), even tattoos! I don't do it as a business, just when things...

I got a set of the Pittsburgh 1/2" deep impact sockets in 2003, used them daily as a dealer tech...They never failed. Even my 21mm that I used to remove thousands of lugnuts...There is no sign of the original finish on it, and it is still going strong. I use Snap-On 1/2" shallow impacts and...
