    Lift for Pick up hitch

    I think this is the one I'll settle in on. I tried contacting "Spitzhitch" but haven't responded to me and I don't think that they will.

    Lift for Pick up hitch

    Yes, there are lots of them. But, as i said, that i need a hand winch not just a small chain and hook. That won't work for me.

    Lift for Pick up hitch

    I found exactly what I was looking for while on the internet. Problem==== It came from Harbor Freight. I found the numbers for the unit. Problem==== They don't carry that unit anymore. Only the flat base Pick Up bed unit. I am not the best designer nor would I have the tool to make one...

    Lift for Pick up hitch

    Img , The "Game" hoist is looking close to what I want. Thanks for the tip. One with a hand crank is what I'm looking for. They all seem to have a brass mounted on the top, which would make it difficult to mount the hand crank. Maybe that is why you don't fing many or any of this type ...

    Lift for Pick up hitch

    I am looking for a hitch just like the "Spitzhitch". But, it is way to expensive for what i need it for. I can't find a similar hitch with a hand crank on it. There are a lot of 2 inch recepticle trailer cranes but the only one I found that had a hand crank on it was the Spitzhitch. The ones...

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    Comforting to hear your story. Yesterday I put the two posts back over the anchors. My instructions said 37 ft-pounds torque. Sounds a little light but I looked into that number a lot and seems correct. I use a bolt to help insert the anchors into the holes. It was a little tough turning...

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    I used a Bosch 11624 Hammer Drill that I bought off of Craigs list years ago. What a monster of a machine. Easy to use and well balanced for it's size. I was surprised to find that it didn't have a reverse, but never needed it. I finally down loaded the manual for it. I was totally surprised...

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    Finally drilled and installed the 10 epoxy anchors. I had to drill down to 6 inches so that the anchors would level off with the pavement. In doing so, I cut through the bottom of the poured concrete. I had a hell of a time cleaning those holes out. Using an air gun and vacuum kept sucking...

    Dunesllider! How would you use an impact on an epoxy anchor?

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    I forgot to mention that the epoxy anchors that I bought came with plastic plugs in the treaded area. So no problem about getting the caulk in the treads when inserting.

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    Thanks for those confident words of wisdom. I am all set to begin the new installation. Just need to mark off the foot print and then start drilling again. I was shocked to see the cost of an SDS hammer drill from Bosch. I think it's an 11264 model electric cord. I bought it off of a guy...

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    Decisions are narrowing quickly. I removed one post and found three out of five wedges have moved and can't be tightened up nor can they be pulled out. The idea of drilling out is starting to look like a long unsure process. One thing I was able to confirm is that I'll never be able to pound...

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    Below you will find the response from Hilti that I received about strength and larger holes for epoxy female anchors. Hello, Thank you for reaching out. Core drilling out the existing anchor, as you mentioned, may result in a larger annular gap between the anchor element and the base material...

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    Their reply was for me to look at some URL's that they supplied. When I looked at one, there were pages and pages of technical data that mostly didn't pertain to what I was doing.

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    Your comments fall right in line with my thoughts on this subject. And in the same order too. I'm in the process now of removing the post from their bolted positions. I'm going to test and see if it is possible to pound the existing anchor down into the ground. I don't think that I drilled...

    I wrote to Hilti for an answer to my concerns above. I got an answer. However I don't have time to complete a "Civil/Mechanical" engineering degree to understand it. I should have expected that if I did get an answer it would be with " Arm waving, sparks throwing, pointing to other URL's...

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    Previous questions were just thought questions. I know bounding the anchor down would be an option (better) but I'm not sure whether or not I drilled through the concrete. If I didn't , that anchor won't get pounded out. I tried pulling it. They won't happen for sure. Not without ripping...

    Epoxy Anchors Yes/No

    Everyday that passes seems like I think of something new. Question? Dealing with the spinner anchor that I've been talking about. I am wondering about drilling it out. I have a 7/8 diamond core bit but that is the same size as the anchor. I'm thinking that if I had a 1 " core bit it would fit...

    I bit the bullet and bought the caulk gun new. Hoping to sell afterwards. Tried the internet, but to many scams out there. Good to know about Hilti. That's what I'm getting.
