Thanks, nice site, I'll have to book mark it for future reference. :thumbup:

I just took out a tree rat yesterday that was trying to chew it's way into my attic with a sling shot.

Wow, I have a Ford Escape. Haven't had it long so now I have to go out and see what size the caliper bolts need. Thanks to this thread I'll be ready when the time comes to change the front brakes on it.

My first choice is driving up on the ramps before crawling under the car. I have a home set made from 1/8 steel that I have been using for many years. The jack stands I mostly use as backup for brakes ball joints etc. Still, push on the side of the car to insure it is positioned solidly.

Maybe they'll be available for this years Epstein's day.

I found this article on jack stands I found interesting. I have the Torin double locking ones described. https://www.garagetooladvisor.com/auto/best-jack-stands/

Well, with that said do you have a recommendation?

Been there done that. Quick reflexes and the emergency brake saved the day Which seen to many people that don't care much about the emergency brake. :shocking:

Place it with the openings facing up and a piece of 2X6 on top. Never had one break. Still fell safer with that than a jack or wobbly jack stand. Especially if you have it up more than a few inches.

Realistically, your trusting your life to a small rubber cup inside the jack that holds back the hydraulic pressure. A concrete block with a piece of board on top isn't going to fail.

Once I have the car up where I need it. I'll give it a firm push on the side to insure it is stable. If it rocks or wobbles, reset it.

Can you post a thread with some of your projects. I would really like to see some of your work.

I have one that I've use successfully several times, but it didn't work on my Mustang. Don't know what the difference is with the Mustang.

Frog tape

Super Lube

To funny, that one got everyone's attention. :beer: What else might have worked would be Eddie Lampert buy's Harbor Freight... :lol_hitti

I know a guy that has over 100 anvils and doesn't have a clue how to use any of them. It's a shame though. I know several young guys that would love to have one to learn blacksmithing and couldn't afford one if they could find it.

It might be an extraction tool for some type of electrical contact.

I don't know if this is what you need, but Lowes has these for sale on line. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Dickies-Wrench-Storage/1000613317
