Don't know about availability in your neck of the woods, but I recently switched to this stuff. https://www.cejn.com/en-us/products/pneumatics/esafe-couplings-*******/series-320-esafe/ To install you just push it in, surprisingly easy. Pull the collar and it dumps the air from the tool (or...

I would use ropes on each end tied as high to the column as possible, (to the rebar!?) other end tied to the beam. Then work the beam up with the engine hoist and shortening the ropes as I go. At some point the hoist MAX lifting height is reached, well then put the end of the hoist under the...

I see what you mean. Good info, thanks Steve.

Yes, 3 phase 380V is the standard over here for almost anything over 2kw.

I think the work rests are simply missing, but I could be wrong. You wouldn't happen to remember the RPM's of your grinder? I am assuming a polisher would have lover RPM than a grinder? Quite a machine you got there, very cool. Thanks.

That could be fun project, and semi-practical with some luck. I just went and picked it up. This thing is a rare historical item over here. I just can't see it go to the shredder. I am trying to avoid hoarding too much but I couldn't resist this one. Useful or not, it's cool.

I agree you guys need pictures so I got some. This thing is Danish, made in Copenhagen. It's 3 phase 380V 3hp (no problems there). It looks like it takes 14" stones. 1400 RPM machine.

That's one idea. Thanks.

I currently live in apartment and don't have any garage. But I plan to build ~1500 sq.ft. garage. Hopefully next year. I bought the lot last year. I still hear you loud and clear and I agree. This is why I am asking how people are using these big bench grinders. I will try to get a good 2-3 hp...

Really big bench grinder - usage? **pics added** Today I came across, probably the largest bench grinder I have seen in real life - in my local scrap yard. Lying in a pile of junk. I am really tempted to rescue it but I have difficulties finding excuses to do so. I am not sure but from...

Ooops, sorry. I forgot our last discussion. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7903927&highlight=Petzl+Pixa#post7903927 Petzl has new professional work light with better burn time. I would take a serious look at that one; Petzl Pixa Z1...

It depends on what you are doing. If you are doing close up work and also need decent throw Petzl Pixa 3 is what you are looking for. Two AA batteries. Build for professional usage, rated for explosive environments. Water and shock proof. They last thousands of hours (I have tried) easy to use...

That's interesting. Over here **** nuts are very rare. The Euro trucks and trailers don't have them. But yes, this gun is rated at something like 1500lb.ft. -enough for wast majority of truck and trailer tires in my neck of the woods. I used it as a baseline and decided to shoot for over 2000...

For truck tires this is very nice wrench: Ingersoll Rand 2190TI-6. Pictured here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ingersoll-Rand-2190TI-6-1-34-Drive-Titanium-Impact-Wrench-with-6-34-Extended-Anvil/15939669 Has great ergonomics and is very light weight - just over 15lb if memory serves me. I think...

Friend of mine asked me to buy and import long anvil, 1" drive wrench, preferably on the lighter side of the spectrum. Since I have good experience with Air Cat I got this one for him. Supposed to be over 2000lb.ft and only just over 20 lb. It's a very nice tool to handle but I haven't used...

I had to search a bit to understand what this is. https://kk.org/cooltools/listeroid-diese/ I know Lister, have rebuilt few of them. Two rules about them. If they stop running they are out of fuel. If they stop leaking they are out of oil. Congrats, have fun!

Well, if you got that thing for the price of an iphone you really ****! It's surprisingly light weight, only 35lb. :thumbup:

Is this 1,5" drive gun? Details, type..? I want one!

Go slow. 2-300 rpm. Then it will stay sharp.

Do they really make anything? Seems to me they just went shopping in Taiwan just like "Sonic" "Ks-Tools" "Förch" and so many others today. (Excluding some items - like the magrails) Not that it really matters to me, I know from first hand experience the Taiwanese are very capable of making...
