Hi Tampag07, I'm not sure what those ramps are? Can you describe it a bit. Are they fixed or it can be raised?

pat. No. 3157075 patented canada........if you google that number it says they have motion compelling action (the handles ratchet and stay locked where you want them)......

I beleive it is a crimping tool for plastic water line couplings. That's very like tool I've used. They exist for 1/2" and 3/4" dia lines. They retail for about $150 new. http://www.homedepot.ca/product/1-2-in-3-4-in-pex-crimp-combo-tool/909098

Being that old, unless they're valuable to you (i.e. metal tank, nice look,... etc,) it is quite often cheaper to buy new one. Don't forget that the regulation (at least here in Quebec) request an hydrostatic pressure test every 12 years after date of manufacture. Plus you need to pay for...

If I may, I'll use this thread too... I see the Campbell Hausfeld (metal reel) (value of $170) on sale at $68 this week. 50 ft 3/8 dia. hose. I've read on other post that sometimes the hoses are junk? Wonder about this one. Any feedback on them to as far as reel, hose, leaks, etc...

Hi, Wow!!! I have an A/C door about the same size as the one you have in your living room with a glass top. I was wondering how to turn it into a table. If ever you've got spare time to take few pictures of it and post it, I would appreciate. Thanks

Simple. You just need to push away with a flat screwdriver the drawer tab which acts a barrier to restrict the track movement (acting as a stopper). This tab is seen in your top picture, right in the track slot. You push it just before it is ready to touch the track, so that the track can then...

You could check with them if mechanical stops on each leg could be added (bolted on, or may be pins added). In their current set-up, there must me such safety mechanical set-up in case of override. I would mimick that at a lower level. In many mechanical systems they use that. They make sure...

Hi Jack, I wish I could, your set-up is quite nice & efficient. My 2-car garage layout doesn't allow it. I need to locate it, while working on it, in the middle of 1-car space (like where you have your car lift). The other space is occupied by my car.

May be, but it's the legs that puzzle me. They would more than likely need to be metal with a foldable mechanism.

Hi, I need a work table (sturdy) about 4-5 ft long by 2.5-3 ft wide. When not in use, I want to fold the legs and put it against a wall. This is to work for example on a car seat ulphostery, so it needs to be strong a bit. Would be nice also if it had lockable wheels to move it around, in my...

Hi, I want to use axle stands (4 of them) to rais my car in my 2 door garage. The issue I'm facing is that the floor is sloping towards center for drainage. The slope is be 3 1/2" from left to right wheels at both front and back axles. I'm concerned of that slope. Should I raise the car such...

Hi , slope is 3.5" from left to right wheels. The ramps model I saw where in the following thread. Note that my floor is ceramic tiles (not to glossy though) . http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51370&page=6 Reply #106 shows the ramps, and my reply #113 defines better my...

Thanks. Nice item.

Hi Lil Toe, In you photo gallery, there is on photo 5 a pliers drawer with some grill to hold them. Do you have a side photo of that. I'm trying to understand what this is? Looks clever. Thanks

Hi, I've seen a nice set of home-made full length ramps on the following thread : http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51370&page=6 . In my case, my 2 car garage has a slope towards the center to ensure drainage. I wonder then what to do with the ramps. Make them even...

Hi, I didn't find these you mention. On my side, I went along and installed the SBEX-RP extension. Here is the final result. Was easy. Looks pretty clean. Thanks all for directing me into this.

QUOTE: The ramps are built out of 2x12s for the top surfaces, and 2x8s on the sides. They are approximately 9.** high, and they are spaced to accommodate the wheelbase of my Audi (101") and BMW (110"). I've made some wheel chocks and will be painting them soon... well, I guess as soon as I...

Interesting point you bring there. The fact that the duplex 2 mounting screws are there and connecting this extension to the main box and that the duplex is grounded by a wire to the main box, is there an issue with the code rules. I was hoping there is enough of ground path, I'm not an expert...

Hi, Yes I checked the wires, and as I've seen in many other oulet I worked on before, there is enough length in this one. Glad for me... I think you're right for the metal, it makes a better grounding. And that's what I got. Here is the picture of the extension I finally bought (fill up to 1"...
