    Northern tool *****, especially at communication...

    A few months back I bought a bendpak rj45 from northern tool. Nobody could tell me when it was arriving or by whom. Night before it arrives they call to say I need to be home in the morning to sign for it. Not the end of the world since i'm self employed, but still a pain. I get it, it comes by...

    Things to ask asphalt driveway contractor?

    So I need to get my driveway paved. I'm not a big fan of outsourcing anything, but this one is above what I can handle. The asphalt contractors by me are fast talkers, all have different opinions, many are related and pricing is all over the damn place. My driveway is roughly 80x20. It's...

    Hey guys, i'm back on the idea of getting a rolling or sliding bridge jack for my bendpak hd7p 4 post lift. Problem is that 2-3 years ago you could get it for $950 shipped. Now, it's pretty much $1200. On top of that the car I work on most is my foxbody mustang. Best jacking points is the...

    bendpak Jp3/jp6, useful or useless?

    I know the rj45 is the thing to have, but right now i have other projects that need attention before i drop a grand on one. The jacking plates are much less. I'm a cash type of guy, if i don't have the extra cash, i don't buy it, not much into using credit cards. So if the jacking plate can...

    Safety stop for home lift so you don't hit ceiling?

    Well, it didn't take long to do something stupid with my new lift. I have a bendpak hd7 that goes pretty high. Not an issue with my mustang, but changed the oil on the mrs rav4 today and it didn't go so well. Roof rack hit my flourescent bulbs, which may have been a blessing since i probably...
