Looking at tire machines and balancers. I have been looking at these and reading reviews and think the 988 and 680 (pick your brand, as they are all from same place) will work for me. Ebay, Walmart and Amazon have these for about $2600 - $2700. However there are a few companies that are...

Ok, so like many others I bought a 4 Post lift (BendPac) and now in need to do high lift garage door. I understand all the parts I need based on all the super helpful threads here and have already lifted my track. I ran it as close to ceiling as possible (3in) and have manually heaved my door...

Anybody bought a lift by Auto Lift? Specifically the FP8K-DS. I'm looking at this from BestBuyAuto: http://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com/car-storage-lift-car-park-8-parking-lift-8000-lb-p/autolift-car-park-8.htm I plan on using it for storage and allowing me to park my classics in the garage...

So I bought my son a 2005 Mini. It needed the transmission fluid and filter changed. One of the pan bolts twisted off in the cast aluminum transmission housing. I planned to drill it out. I drilled one small hole. Then on stepping the bit size up, the tip of the carbon bit broke off. I...

I need some recommendations for a good quality regulator that won't break the bank. I tried a couple and they don't hold. I need something that can hold up to 180psi so I can step it down from there. Any suggestions? Truck

It is in good shape and already disassembled and ready for pick up. At full extension this lift requires 15'9" ceiling height it can be adjusted down about 9"...

Don't know why but search is not working for me and it won't hit on "VCT" even though there is a thread on this page.... Anyway, here are my questions? 1. How well does it hold up to movement on it (ie. vehicles, forklift, steel wheeled engine hoist)? 2. How durable is it (steel wheels...

Okay, so I built the lofts in the shop see my build thread here: shop build and I've had a dilemma on how I was going to get heavy or bulky items up there. I didn't want to build a huge stair case taking valuable room in the shop. I thought about building a pallet dock platform for the lift...

I'm wiring the shop and need to wire the on-demand water heater (4 30A circuits) and the dryer (1 30A circuit). The run is about 60 ft from the service panel. Plan on using 10Ga THHN. That is 5 Black, 5 White and 1 ground (figure that can be common between the water heater and the dryer). I...

Bad Dog Tools? I was at the county fair this week and saw these drill bits. I was specifically looking at the drill bits but the rover bits look good as well. http://www.baddogtools.com/ Of course fair price is cheaper then online. Any body ever use them and or have comments? Truck

Okay, I've been meaning to do this for awhile and just haven't gotten around to it. I always wanted a shop to work on my vehicles and do the woodwork that I love to do. A 2 car garage doesn't cut it. I've always like the Quonset hut style buildings because of their ease and no required center...

okay my shop build continues and I'm on to electricity. I've been approved for 400A separate service to the shop. I know I probably will never need that much but I am running a tankless water heater. It wasn't going to cost any more in installation or fees for the 200 vs 400 amp once they...

Autoclassic, Harasho, Hypnotoad or anybody else that actually has one of these buildings. I have a couple of questions. So instead of junking up ya'lls threads I figured I would start a new one. First I will explain what I'm doing. My building as bought (secondhand never installed) is 25...

Well since my garage/shop build was going to have to wait (see intro thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15286) I needed to build a shed so I could use my attached garage for working on my jeep. So I though I would start a thread that shows the build of my shed this...

Okay, I picked up this compressor the other day. It is an older Keystone compressor. I can't seem to find any information on it. It seems solid, pump seems to be compressing when I turn the wheel. Here is where I need help. motor says it can be wired 230 or 115. I'm not sure how it is...

I recently found this site and it is great, so I thought I would introduce myself. I'm Truck and I'm and addict at working in a garage. I currently live in Manassas, VA. I'm a Jeep person, specifically Scramblers. In the process of restoring one and building a trail rig from the ground up...
