    Tire Changer and Wheel Balancer - thoughts?

    Well, it seems that looking through the various 4wd magazines I have, Hunter is what most shops carry. Capable of balancing up to a 44" tall tire- I know all about the different types of balancing methods, weights, solutions etc but I would like to "know" w/o a doubt its balanced. Thanks guys.

    Garage Air Ventilation Systems?

    So I hate knowing that I am breathing in bad fumes. Whether it be soldering gas or brake cleaner, I simply hate it.

    New Jack from Sears!

    3" mabye pushing 4". To be honest, I measured with my fingers , and Im not to hot and turning that into standard lengths. When I pick it up tomorrow, I will take pictures of it with a ruler for you thought. Its not the biggest saddle (i.e. 5") but its alot bigger than the 2" i have now on the HF.

    New Jack from Sears!

    Yea, I saw that one a couple weeks back. Rather have the nice gloss black finish and the craftsman name, even if they are identical. Plus I am assured this one meets or exceeds all standards for 3 tons.

    Slide hammer reccomendations.

    So I'm looking for reccomendations for slide hammers- nothing too expensive (try and stay away from the Big 3). SK had a model for around 40 dollars, anyone have any input? It will be used for mainly rear end bearings etc. Thanks in advance.
