just bought this unit last week, to replace a Landa that worked awesome but it was stolen from my winter storage place.... the Landa was also a hot water power washer. Probably overkill for my needs but I got to like the lower pressure and need for almost no chemical with the hot water "almost"...

OK; one of my openers has a purple "learn" button, and a symbol that looks like a "wi-fi symbol) manufacture date 2005. the other opener has a red learn button. manufacture date 2000 These are still in their packages, never opened; but when I bought them I thought they were "all the same"...

I built my 30x36 garage back in 2006, I have 2, 9X8 doors plus a man door. Up til now I have been the "garage door opener". but the strip of grass between the house and garage gets quite muddy, last fall's dig-up to bury a gas line and last week's till-up and grass replant doesn't help. I want...

This came up at work today, long time since I'd heard it but back when I was doing fab work at the steel mill it came up more often. (No I wasn't the "lead" fab guy when I was there) What is "shear"? Difference between "single shear" and "double shear"? I do some small weld/fab projects...

Good? garbage? Who knows what about them?

I have a Stant ST 255 cooling system tester. It don't work no more. I have oiled the pizz out of the innards thru the oil hole and still nothing. I did get out of fixing cars for a few years and it sat, it used to work when I used it fairly regularly. now I have needed it a lot and have to...

I need a couple of different extension wands for my Graco paint pump. one of the ones with the curved end would be nice too. Wondering what you guys have laying around collecting dust; used is just as good as new as long as it's "good" condition

WHy is it there are so many "Wholesale Only" places in the HVAC world as opposed to say auto parts places? I have 3 suppliers within 6 miles; because I am not an "HVAC guy" they wont sell me anything. I have been an auto mechanic for the better part of 25 years. there isn't a single shop that...

mine's a 97. had an "oops". I'm an hr south of Chicago looking for something within about an hour's drive... nice not rusty; would rather have good used OEM instead of made in China repop hope its OK to post car part "wanted" ad here as it will be changed in the garage after all.

bought a few years ago thought I'd use more than I have Right now it's just acting as another "collector rack" to set stuff on. Works fine has many adapter leads included; can demonstrate for interested buyer

who makes a decent one for a good price looking for either a 5 or an 8 gallon one and not an air-evacuating type. anyone ever make one of their own? seems a 5 gallon bucket plus 2 PVC pipe flanges, length of PVC to match (2 if you want to make it "telescope") and the bottom 6" cut from a...

my 2 post lift, that is.... gotta hit the farm store for a few odds and ends tomorrow (roll pins, 3/16 dia cotter pins etc to put the feet on the arms) but its up. It took more shimming than I thought it might for the columns that's for certain. Drilled all 16 holes in the concrete didn't hit...

There were questions on starting a forum for jacks and lifts all their own, at one time I saw a poll asking whether we members want that or not. I guess the answer was "NO" since it never appeared. but I see threads on them in several forums here on GJ. If there is gonna be no seperate forum...

I currently have an OTC "basic" kit, the C frame the end caps and the 3 "standard" adapters that used to come with them. this used to be enough for ~80-90% of all the apps that I would need, but having recently gotten back into professional wrenching and now work for a Fleet (State of Illinois)...

I put up a post here on GJ like 2 weeks ago, about how "important" the swing arm safetys are on a lift, I still don't see the big deal/need for them... But when it comes to the other safetys, the ones that keep the car from crashing down should a cylinder or cable fail, I definitely want those...

Anyone have, hear of, or see? these are built not far from me, I have seen their booths at some big ag/farm shows but noplace else. I was just ata farmer buddy's home and looking at his tool chest they are made in USA and appear pretty stout

most of the 2 post lifts I have ever used had the "safety locks" pertaining to the swinging lift arms; the ones on the Rotarys at my last shop were plum wore out, and never seemed to hurt anything by not "holding" at my present job we have ALM symmetricals and on one of them, the release...

I just recently got back into wrenching, and the new place wants everything that has a torque spec listed in Mitchell OnDemand, hand torqued to that spec. I have never in my life torqued fasteners like brake caliper brackets in almost 25 years of previous wrenching but I have to now...
