So I am getting around to all the maintence at the house I put off when building the garage and one of the projects for this year was to replace a 2nd story window. The windows are original to the house so the sill was rotted out and they were pretty inefficient. It was time to pull it out...

If you want to lighten up the weight of the torch go buy a set of the light weight hoses from tinmantech.com. You wouldn't believe how much easier it is to maneuver a torch around with the smaller and lighter hoses. Keith

Mostly hype. Get a Meco Midget torch or a smith airline torch and save the money. Keith

If you have an air line available I highly recommend the riveter below. http://www.harborfreight.com/3-16-inch-air-hydraulic-riveter-93458.html Just check to make sure it has enough fluid before you use it the first time. So far I have pulled over 10,000 rivets on a sonex airplane using one...

Don't think you will find one out there. Way too much liability for someone to even consider renting out a lift. Keith
