    RIP....boots

    These are boots I purchased from LL Bean and have had great luck with. They are made by Chippewa for LL Bean. https://m.llbean.com/product.html?bc=null-507280&skCatId=57044&csp=a#57044

    RIP....boots

    Extremely happy. Last pair of Boots were replaced after 12 years of almost daily use when stitching gave way. Try that with another retailer.

    RIP....boots

    I go with LL Bean anyday of week as lifetime replacement if not happy for any reason. They make great boots and I can vouch for their lifetime warranty as haven't had to pay for boots in longer than I care to remember.

    My BendPak HD-9 is here...

    Congrats and best of luck with the install. Keep us posted on the progress. I'll be watching as I plan on making final decision on a 4 post over the next day or so. Always planned on Bendpak HD-9 but hesitating based on some of the more recent postings by fellow GJ members. Looks like you got...

    30 amp Receptacle

    Thanks for pointing out about the old style receptacle, didn't realize that. Much appreciate the heads-up on swapping out receptacle and plug with proper 6-30 250V pieces.....will do. What is advantage of hardwiring lift as I wanted option to move it around a bit if needed. Maybe I need to...

    30 amp Receptacle

    Yeah, more I think about it best solution is remove thermostat and replace with switch. This way I have ability to shut power to lift as well.

    30 amp Receptacle

    Here is a picture of the receptacle. My understanding is that the receptacle is a standard 30 amp receptacle and not specifically a dryer receptacle. My concern is will the fact that a thermostat is wired to the circuit present a problem for the lift that will now plug into this receptacle?

    30 amp Receptacle

    Got a dedicated 30 amp receptacle mounted up near ceiling which was used for an electric heater. Thermostat mounted lower on wall controlled heater. Had a 3 prong dryer plug on heater and plugged into receptacle, no issues. Fast forward.......installed propane furnace so no longer using 30 amp...

    Bendpak RJ-45 Rolling Jack

    Hey guys thanks for responses, compressor sounds like a none issue. Do I need to purchase air line kit from Bendpak or do most source this out locally. If sourced locally what's needed as I'd like to have on hand when installing. I don't have my shop setup with airlines so no water separators...

    Bendpak RJ-45 Rolling Jack

    Hey thanks Mister68 and PoorOwner, good news indeed. A call to Bendpak as well as Ingersoll-Rand was not very helpful. Leave it to GJ brothers to come through with real deal info!

    Bendpak RJ-45 Rolling Jack

    Getting down to final decision on lift purchase and another variable comes up. Want to include purchase of RJ-45 Rolling Jack but learning my new to me compressor may not have what it takes to power up the RJ-45. I have Ingersoll-Rand 2HP Single Stage compressor with 20 gal tank with capacity @...

    Park car in Shed? 12x20?

    I would think if parking a car in a regular shed you may have to have the floor beefed up such as larger joist and double plywood decking. Being in Westchester County you may also have some local building codes to intend with.

    Bendpak decision: Good, Bad & Ugly

    Spoke with 2 of the larger Bendpak distributors today in an effort to get some additional info and to get their take on the quality of Bendpak lifts today vs. 3-5 years ago. Both of these distributors also sell other lifts and not just Bendpak. Initially I didn't let either know I was...

    4 post lift

    Totally agree but the fact remains when I did my research 2-3 years ago there were almost NO complaints or negative comments on this board regarding Bendpak lifts.......that has now changed as evident from some of the responses to my post. Still considering a Bendpak but now also considering...

    4 post lift

    Going through the exact same process of trying to find a good quality 4 post lift. My mind was set on a Bendpak HD-9 as I did a bunch of research a couple years back. I was surprised to learn of some recent quality control and customer service issues as quite a few GJ members have indicated in a...

    Bendpak decision: Good, Bad & Ugly

    Love the auto correct feature......should read "if people are really seeing bad, crooked and sloppy WELDS that is a concern. Maybe someone can post a picture of the bad welds" Thanks again guys.

    Bendpak decision: Good, Bad & Ugly

    Thanks for responses guys. This is tough decision as I was all set to order Bendpak 4 post based on lots of research I did on this site a couple years back. So far 8 negative responses and 4 positive. Don't quite understand the change since 2 years ago as I believe they were manufactured...

    Bendpak decision: Good, Bad & Ugly

    After 6 long years I finally got my Racedeck flooring down and am ready for the next step....a sweet 4 post lift to complete the garage. Did a bunch of research 2-3 years ago and was set on a Bendpak HD-9 or HD-9ST as all I was reading were how happy everyone was with their Bendpak purchase and...
