I've had my open-center Bendpak scissor lift for close to 15 yrs and never had to work on anything other than unibodies which were no problem to lift. Recently had a friend stop by with an older pickup truck and without the lift support bars it was a bit of a pain to manage. I've been...

Stronghand 3-axis welding clamp. Never used. Goes for $220+tax new, asking $160.

Only used for a few cuts while I was building bumpers for my truck. Very portable, only weighs about 20lbs and runs on both 110v/220v. Sorry don't have any closeup pics but it's in really clean and good condition. I can take some pics if requested or come check it out. Please check Hypertherm's...

I thought I shared one of my fav youtube channels. Unfortunately John (the owner) passed away a couple of years ago before I came across his channel but I really enjoy his videos. They're short (usually 2-5 mins long), to the point, may be a bit unorthodox sometimes in how he does things but if...

Between the mig and stick I never felt I needed any other welders. But for about $70 to convert my stick to a scratch TIG I decided to see what all the fuss is about. :headscrat Well I'll be darned this TIG stuff is fun :rocker: Until tonight I knew almost nothing about TIG and scratch TIG so...

They look to be different in design besides just the comfort grip part https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000SOSC4Y/?tag=atomicindus08-20 vs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EXO81K/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I have the Machinery Handbook for machining work. I'm also looking for other useful/general info and handy math. Sure one can Google but it's nice to have a book you can flip through sometimes. The three books I'm considering are: The ever popular desktop/pocket referece...

I've had this AR Blue 142 washer for a while, nothing impressive but has worked ok for washing my truck after offroading and cleaning the patio, driveway etc around the house. However, it started leaking water right at the seam of the pump and head/valve assembly. Looks like someone might have...

I found a few old threads and was wondering how many still have and use their's? In the past when I've looked for them I could never find them or people were asking $1000+ for them which I couldn't justify. Took a gamble on one this weekend. It's a EEWB314a, not sure of the year but supposedly...

I have this older model from the early 2000s (?) never really used it much but I don't do a lot of woodworking that would require it. Also, I never liked using it either and just seems to be taking up space that I need for a belt sander I just got. I can sell it on CL or I could put it in the...

So almost exactly 1yr after the purchase of the mill: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=353948 I've decided to convert it to CNC. Let me get some things out of the way first, this is going to be a cheap build. Yes in a perfect world I'd have a Tormach 1100 but that would be...

My impulse mill purchase and the ongoing ramblings... I don't know how I went from 'hypothetically considering a mill for I don't know what' to actually buying a mill in about 3 days :o It's an Enco RF-30 that I'll be picking up on Sat about 120 miles away. Comes with lots of tooling etc...

I was planning to buy over $3k worth of Plasma, TIG, MIG setup due to their supposedly good customer service and the 3yr warranty vs. the same Chinese stuff off of ebay (though sold at a lower cost than eastwood). I've emailed them 3 times and called them twice now wanting to know how I can buy...

Do they make a set of dies I can use with a shop press to remove/install suspension bushings (control-arm bushings etc)?

I'm really interested in buying one but I can't seem to find one in my price range ($500 max). What about the bubble balancers if I dare ask?

The ratchets, wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers have been beaten to death here :lol_hitti I know some of you guys are obssessed with them but how about discussing misc tools that make your lives easier for a change? How about the OTC4521 radiator hose removal tool or the Lisle vaccum hose...

Anyone make a plain-ole mini crescent wrench that fits in a pocket? :headscrat I like having my Leatherman for small quick fixes around the house or on the go. The one thing I miss is the wrenches and sockets which got me thinking if I could find a mini crescent wrench that can slip over 1.5"...

:bounce: After years of wanting a lathe I finally bit the bullet and picked up a 7x10 mini lathe from HF http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93212 I want to buy a couple of basic tools/bits locally so I can play with the lathe this weekend - I'll order the nicer...

I installed my BendPak P6 lift this past weekend (thread in General discussion). I now need to bolt it into the floor which requires drilling 8 or so holes for the 3/4" anchors. My 1/2" generic cordless 18v drill (with impact feature) has a failing battery and just doesn't have the juice. I've...
