There is no way to get a side shot of the failure. And I do understand your point about the rarity but I have read more stories about HF failing than others. Because of that it has made me uncomfortable using them, this event reinforces it. I have nothing against HF I have quite a few tools...

And that makes it cool to call people idiots because of there views and possible lack of experience? FFS it hasn't even been 48 hrs yet and I am still responding to questions. I do have a life that is outside of this place... Here are the photos. First one is of the one that still works as...

Nice. I am willing to substantiate it and work on understanding why the failure happened, could it have been operator error? Possibly but I have safely supported multiple vehicles over the years doing the same way I did this lift. I am busy and have a life outside of here that take some time to...

It's not a massive bend, I think it possibly got tweaked and bent out of tolerance just enough to cause a problem. Again once I have a chance to get to them I will post pictures, I might even pull it apart as well as the other one that came as the set and see if there is any difference. All I...

Sorry I'm switching to overnights at work and I forgot about this thread. I don't have pictures and will take some to show it and maybe someone with more knowledge can figure out what is going on. When I placed the stand under the car it worked as normal pulled the post up and it sat back...

I credit that to the folks here on GJ. Ever since reading the posts about the stands failing I have doubled up both of them and either left my jack up or grabbed a bottle jack to go up as well. Needless to say having the car shift like that was not the most enjoyable experience.

No I didn't look at it to much, I'll look into it more tonight after work.

So I've been using Harbor freight jack stands for a while never thought anything of it till I joined here and read the stories. Upgrading has been put off because I only need them for pulling wheels off and work from the outside. Because of the reports here I won't crawl under the vehicle and...

I used the jumper for the first time today, the first attempt didn't go so well the car battery was gone, no dash lights nothing turned on at all (just bought it non running) it would crank the starter a couple times for a few seconds but nothing substantial. Put the battery charger on the car...

Always shower with a buddy

I was really hoping for a amateur caulking video... Been following your thread for a while and it is always enjoyable to read your updates and the place looks great! Keep up the good work.

Ordered one for the family vehicle, hopefully it'll work well. No more worries of them getting stranded. Thanks for the heads up.

Always a good day to learn something new! Never would have thought about heating the floor but it makes sense.

I probably spend $50-75 a year using my torpedo heater and that's only when I absolutely need to do something in the garage. No extra projects get done for me during the winter. A better stove is going to happen soon hopefully

Looks good! Definitely jealous of that stove on days like today.

:spit:

At 19:35 they show what happens when you backfeed. The whole video is a good watch.

We can see your email address if we click on the picture and go to postimg.org. Not sure if you are aware of that.

Not craigslist but Facebook garage sale site, some lady was giving away a snowblower, didn't run and she already bought a new one. I was luckily the first one to get there and pick it up it was a 4 year old troy bilt from lowes with hardly any use Pulled the carb and sprayed carb cleaner in it...

Changing the oil on the beater car I just bought last night and got some oil on the face, thankfully this time I was wearing the eye pro and no issues. Other than oil smeared glasses...
