Hello, I’m having an issue with a brand new Derek Weaver tire machine, and I feel like I’m getting the run around from their support staff. I’m hoping somebody with more general tire machine knowledge than I have might be able to weigh-in on whether my shop air is actually the cause of my...

I came up with this cool Reliant drill press at a garage sale, but it’s missing the spindle pulley. Everything on this drill press is massive, and the spindle pulley adapter sleeve has a 1-1/2” taper on it, and the top pulley step needs to be about 8” diameter, so, turning a pulley on my lathe...

Hello, I just ordered one of these MaxJax lifts, and am planning where to put it. The instructions say I need a minimum of 12’ clearance front and rear to any obstruction. 10’ will be more than enough to put my longest vehicle on the lift, and still be able to walk around both sides. Am I...

I know this is probably on the verge of being totally off-topic here, but I’m hoping somebody on this forum has some experience with these Ultra-Tow electric tongue jacks. This is the 5,000 lbs version, and I have it installed an a 10,000 lbs GVWR trailer that weighs about 3,500 lbs unloaded...

I am selling a Lincoln Mobiflex 200-M Welding Fume Extractor/Filter System with articulating fume extractor arm (I believe this is the 13’ version). This unit is in good working condition, and filter life indicator has barely any red visible when running, indicating a relatively new filter...

I just picked up a really rough Jet BP-2248 48” finger brake at an estate sale. It’s missing several of the fingers and the handle eccentric that lowers the beam down to hold the material. I’m finding that the parts for these things are prohibitively priced, when you can even find them...

So, I was all ready to plop down $400-500 on either a 5-1/2” Tradesman or a 6-1/2” Mechanics Pro Wilton until a Garage Journal thread steered me towards that Fireball Tool YouTube video where he tests-to-failure a bunch of buses, and neither of those United fared very well. What shocked me was...

Hey fellas (and ladies), This is my first post on Garage Journal, though I am a long time poster, trying to contribute over at the Jalopy Journal. Ryan sent me here for help with my air compressor... Anybody out there know their way around air compressors? Particularly around pressure...
