I’ve never been stuck by a stubborn crankshaft bolt. Yesterday I took the vehicle off the lift, rolled it beside my compressor room. With. 6 foot airline hooked straight to the tank neither of my IR impact guns would budge this Toyota 22mm crank pulley bolt. I did some online searching and found...

Very curious what determines an air compressors max pressure, reason being tied to my last post. I'm thinking I need more pressure to work my fully air operated wheel balancer. If I daisy chain 2 single stage compressors, is it sorta like having a 2 stage pump? My 60 gallon is a conventional...

Opinions and suggestions please, very frustrated with this. I've been fighting with this used hunter tc3500, It's completely run by shop air, no electric at all. There is no side shovel on it, It uses rollers to squeeze rotating tire to break bead. After rebuilding the air over hydraulic pump...

I saw the HF coupon thread but no regular sales thread. So happy with my latest tool run I thought I'd share. I picked up the Braun flex head led flashlight for $24.99 at the Parking Lot Sale, today it the last day of this sale. They are always sold of these, pretty please I finally got one(3...

My 10 year old DSC has been acting up, I'm running 4 keypads and wired sensors. I'm thinking about replacing the whole system in favor of something with modern features. I'd like to be able to see whats happening from my smartphone. Whats the best bang for the buck system out there? Is anyone...

I was thinking about this one as cleaning the garage. In my mid 40's now, I wonder when it's time to stop buying tools, equipment and cars and start to plan for the later years. The outbuilding is a combined 4000sq ft of garage/shop/storage and its full. I wouldn't worry if we had kids to give...

2 post lift shopping again, this morning I just noticed there are new bendpak models. The xpr-10 is now an xpr-10s and the xpr-10a is now an xpr-10as. So far I'm seeing they changed the pads to screw type like Rotary lifts. The rear arm redesigned for more door clearance. They changed the...

Long story short, my friend found this 9k 2 post lift with the label "Lift distributors of America" out of Kennedale Texas. It's cheap, currently up and running, and just a 5 min drive away. It looks like the company is out of business, can't find any info or reviews regarding the quality of it...

Hi. Looking at bringing home a bendpak xpr10, the crate measures 2x2x12' and 1650lbs. If I can't borrow a trailer I'm looking at putting in the 8' bed of my 2004 Silverado 2500hd long box, it's 10' with the tailgate down. Not sure of the weight distribution on the crated lift, I think the heavy...
