    Considering an AC floor jack

    I've had a DK13HQ since 2004/5. It's never let me down, so to speak. At the time, it was the only way to lift an S2000. Due to the length of the "wheelbase" and low ride height she can get hung up going over garage door thresholds. A hockey puck fits perfectly in the saddle.

    Lawn mower for a really steep yard?

    Get lucky and find a good Ventrac on the used market? The physics of mowing a steep slope are what they are. Flipping a ZTR is a seriously dangerous proposition. And likely the reason the previous owners farmed out the work. Walker discharge models are rated to a decent slope, but I don't...

    Look out Knipex, here comes ICON!

    The poster to whom I replied was using "price" delta as the criteria for justifying a knock off. Go back and read the comment. Because of that, I can apply that same logic to whatever example I choose. If we're talking about price, then price is the measuring stick. Introducing "safety" or...

    90% off Wiha large Standard or Metric Wrenches

    No. Going back through my email archives... with previous orders, they send a pdf invoice after the confirmation email which has the UPS tracker on it. I placed this current order on Tuesday afternoon.

    Still think Wiha makes quality tools?

    If you were tearing up hex bits, then there really would be a problem. Does the the plastic block flex and compress when the slotted screws are being tightened?

    Still think Wiha makes quality tools?

    So you're saying that a driver that has six points of contact lasts longer than one with two.

    Look out Knipex, here comes ICON!

    Would you be okay if your car was repaired with knock off, non OEM airbags? They're very similar but sold at a much lower price.

    Builder built garage too short. What penalty?

    Scenario: Instead of vintage Porsches, the OP has a prized collection of MAN TGA 6X6 Expedition trucks. They're around twelve feet tall. The garage is no longer usable for his purposes. Would this change the opinion of GJ'ers who have stated that it's good enough and he should just live with...

    Digging for retaining wall next to hedge.

    Found this relevant excerpt of an excerpt, regarding Canadian case law: "Following Lemmon v. Webb the law of nuisance caused by trees is quite clear 32. When encroaching branches or roots are not causing damage to the adjoining property, but are causing a nuisance by preventing the reasonable...

    Digging for retaining wall next to hedge.

    The rocks are a definitely a challenge. I'm in the middle of a hand transplant of a weeping Norway Spruce. Last winter I pruned the roots with a spade like this, sharpened. https://www.razor-back.com/tool/shovels-and-scoops/2451700-15-in-industrial-all-steel-spade/ The roots are sliced off...

    Digging for retaining wall next to hedge.

    Arborvitae have very shallow, spreading type roots. If the shrubs are massive and the branches have spread over the property line, then the digging is definitely going to be in the root zone. An expert might be able to suggest if root pruning is a viable option while they're still dormant.

    Digging for retaining wall next to hedge.

    Edited. You must be a real treat IRL. Can only imagine what you've got going on in your special corner of the world. I've got a neighbor like you... he's put a bunch of rubble to block a culvert from my property to his. He uses the same logic and has the same level of people skills.... "It's...

    Digging for retaining wall next to hedge.

    Nobody here can see your proposed project and your details are scant. So here's all I got. First, are you absolutely certain of the property line? Second, in order to not be a jackknob like one of the previous posters, I suggest contacting an arborist who can do an on-site assessment of the...
