    Greg Smith/Atlas lift - no diesel trucks on 9k lift?

    We have an atlas 10k extra tall, extra wide and lifted my 4 door long bed ford diesel Dually. No problems but it’s stretched way out. For reference, I lift it on our 15k 4 post now. Plenty of capacity though but the arms don’t have much wiggle room. Suggest a bigger lift than 9k unless you’re...

    Shop office with bathroom?

    Awesome guys. Just needed some other opinions. I thought it was a no brainer but after all that Concrete and requiring about 20 yards more than I was told I was second guessing it. Have no idea what the office will cost but hopefully I can do it under 5k more for everything with myself doing the...

We build jeeps and are appointment only, however, there’s times...

    1/2” or 3/4” for welding/fab table?

    I’ve had the thick tables and now they are pretty much storage. I have a 50x100” fixture table and it’s only 1/4” thick top. That said, it’s still 1600-1700 lbs thanks for the structure under the table ensuring it stays flat and true. I bought mine thru www.texasmetalworks.com also got one of...

    Gas air compressor

    For anyone that was wondering....I'm going to go with a 30 gallon John Deere engine drive. They are made by mi-t-m and basically painted green. It puts out 29 cfm at 90 and it'll come in when my tractor does in February. Getting 10% off gets it closer to being in line with the others. I really...

    Do I live where it is too expensive?

    If it helps I build 4368 sq ft covered and 2400 of that was enclosed and with lighting, 5.5" of concrete and electrical it came out to around $9 sq/ft under roof. 5 doors and 14' end wall height I would say you live in a very expensive part of the country and those prices are shown on flip or...

    Opinion on Kobalt 24v brushless vs Rigid

    We went shopping while I was at work. Generally people are nice and forthright with us. I couldn't establish what he would gain by selling me on the ridgid over the Milwaukee. He showed the specs between the dewalt and ridgid and the ridgid was clearly the better choice. He told me between the...

    Opinion on Kobalt 24v brushless vs Rigid

    I ran into the rep at HD for all the big brand except dewalt. He said the ridgid is the one to go with even over Milwaukee when you factor in the warranty. It was between those two and the gen 5 hammer drill and impact combo is what I bought. They came with two 4ah batteries and I still haven't...

    Please advise - bad contractor messed up my concrete floor

    I think it looks interesting. If it was mine personally I would try a second coat in a small corner and see how it looked. Worst case you already have to grind it off to do something else Brett

    He has to be a snap on dealer. If not then that's a unreal nearly all new tool collection and he gave the salesman an excellent bonus Brett

    Help pick out welding rod Lincoln 210mp & 200SW

    With the 210mp (which I have also) the only reason I have ever burned a rod with it was because I received a bad batch of mig mix. Get 80/20 and a nice spool of 25-35 wire and get to laying down nice welds. I also have a new bobcat 250 and it's only used if I can't get the mig out there, it's to...

    Rigid or Milwaukee Tool Kit

    I spoke to the merchandise rep at Home Depot that handles all brands except for dealt. He sold me on the ridgid. Said the warranty was great as long as you register them. I was initially going with the Milwaukee line but he swayed me and they were both his lines. I bought the gen5 hammer drill...
