After reading good reviews of this tool, I read that Costco had a rebranded version called the Profinder 5000 that they sold for $35 vs the $50 that the Franklin cost. My local Costco had no stock. A quick check of their computer brought up some interesting info. No local warehouse had any...

I just bought an HTL550Cub Cadet (actually Mojack) lawn tractor lift. With the front tire cradles removed, it still must weigh 60 lbs. Mojack has a Youtube video advertising the jack. At the end of the video it is hanging on the garage wall on what looks like Gladiator Gear Track, with the tire...

I hesitated to ask this because I know I will get answers telling me that they have sucessfully used kitchen waste oil or the stuff they drained from their car, for thirty years, but here goes. Most car jacks and bottle jack instructions say to just use good quality jack oil, but when they do...

I have the 3/8 B52 ratchet as well as the 1/4 and 1/2 " drive versions. I bought them new, many years ago. They are clean and lightly used. They work fine but I noticed how loud the click is, making me think they are dry. They have never been open. So do I leave well enough alone or take them...

The two main brands of link belts seem to Fenner' Power Twist (red) and Jason's Acculink.(green). Anybody have any strong opinion of one vs the other? Jason makes the one HF sells but that is not the size I need. I will buy whichever I can get a better deal on unless somebody can suggest a...

I was just looking online at the two HF 5 hp compressors. I read a review of the 62299, 3 cylinder model and the reviewer said it was really a single stage. I looked at the manual that claims it is a 2 stage but there is an air filter on each cylinder head BINGO!! In a 2 stage compressor the...

I have to undo the left motor mount on my Dodge ram to replace a dipstick tube. The truck will be up on stands but as much as I trust my old USA Hein Werner to hold and adjust the engine, I don't like sticking my fingers any place that is supported by a jack . I came across the Powerbuilt 2 and...

My concrete block foundation wall in the basement comes up one block in my attached garage. I want air in both places. Right now I only have a 4 gal double hot dog that weighs 58 lbs. It is a bit heavy for me, at my age to carry it back and forth. The compressor lives in the garage. Eventually...

In the 80's many tool companies Xcelite, Craftsman and others used a plastic called Cellulose Acetate Butyrate or CAB for screwdriver and nut driver handles. It is tough, chemical resistant and cheap. What was later discovered is that if they are stored in a confined space, like a tool drawer...

As a kid, a million years ago, I remember a garage tire balancer that had a spark gap indicator. A spark would jump a gap on a circular display, corresponding to the heavy point of the tire. Anybody know anything about a machine like that?
