My Coats with electric turntable only needs 110v and 5cfm at 150PSI. Perfect because I don’t have a huge compressor. Every balancer I’ve seen requires 220v though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just went down this route. I ended up finding used Coats units on Facebook marketplace. The balancer is out of a school and is like new. The mounter is out a shop and looks as if it was beat within an inch of its life. It needed ~$150 in o-rings and miscellaneous parts. I have about a $1k in...

I have a stove in the shop and an insert in the house. The insurance company made me jump through hoops for the one in my garage but couldn’t care less about the one in the house. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I live in Indiana and worked for one of Firestone’s busiest stores in the nation. 30-40 cars a day in an 8 bay shop. So I think I qualify in both counts. Studs break because of incompetent mechanics. No anti seize needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
