    Malco tools

    I used Malco tools doing siding for decades. The aluminum handles Andy snips, the 5 finger crimps for downspouts, and the hand seamers like you pictured, used for aluminum capping/cladding. I didn't find the angled ones until later in my career. The pictured seamer is a 9" model that I used for...

    Vacuum Extractor Pump Suggestions?

    I use clear plastic hose, a mason jar with 2 holes in lid to insert hose, and engine vacuum to bleed brakes and hydraulic clutch lines on transmission. Mason jar is used to catch fluid. I recently used it to **** old gas from the fuel tank of my pinto that's been sitting for unknown years.

    Air Compressor for the Shop - New or Used, 40/60/80 Gallon?

    I had a 10hp 33cfm fall into my hands. I wish I had the amperage to run it at home. I sold it to an oil field company for $4,000.

    Air Compressor for the Shop - New or Used, 40/60/80 Gallon?

    One of the things I've done is hook up a second compressor teed into the outlet of the main compressor. I didn't worry about pressures or duty cycles as it was just temporary. The larger portables put out about 5cfm.

    Rigging for lifting pallets and other options for lifting stuff to 2nd floor?

    Look at how the trucks that deliver drywall to residential homes pallet forks are designed. I would not have a problem making one similar for my own use. The jib you have I'm not sure about tho.

    Cutting thin (25 - 20ga) sheet metal with table saw & abrasive cutting wheel...thoughts?

    Personally I wouldn't have a problem using an old table saw and a high tooth count carbide blade to rip a steel stud if that's all I had lying around. Especially if you're trying to get a straight cut. But you need to watch the floppy end after the cut and definitely ppe.
