Thanks for the replies. I found this Redline lift and I think OTC has a similar version. https://www.redlinestands.com/catalog/shop-equipment-c-327/automotive-c-327_328/transmission-jacks-c-327_328_244/redline-reptl-powertrain-lift-p-1833
Thanks mautotrech, those Ranger machines are quite a bit more than the Weaver machines. I would like to know if they are really made better or work better than Weaver.
Thanks again that's solid info. I'm leaning towards the Weaver for the price and the way they seem to hold up ok. I'd like to hear from some more people before I really make my mind up
Thanks for the comparison from the Weaver and Ranger Brand X, that is the info I'm looking for. Does Weaver seem to have good service if you were to need anything?
Thanks for the reply signcrafter. I already have an Ateq tpms tool so I can program sensors. I use it mainly now for rotating tires to relearn the tire position and to find quickly if a sensor is not working.
I'm curious as to how much difference there is between the Weaver and Ranger tire changers. I know they are both Chinese built, so I'm wondering if they are the same machines or not
Thanks for the replies, Coats would definitely be great, but the cost would be high for just using on occasion. I would like to find a solid brand for occasional use, kind of middle of the road, not the cheap stuff but not the high end stuff either.
Thank you noid, it will be for professional use, but not in a busy tire shop, just in a garage that does mechanic work and occasional tire installs and tpms sensor replacement. I will check out the Atlas.
Looking to buy a new tire changer and wheel balancer combo this spring, would like to hear from anyone that has the Weaver machines and also the Ranger machines. Also would be nice to know about their service after the sale if any problems come up. Thanks for any info
I would like to have my lift like it is without the low profile arms, I think the extra reach of the arms would be better for me than the lowness of the arms. I have a pic on my phone of a crew cab dually duramax with a metal bed and a metal ranch hand bumper on the front, that is a load on the...
I have a Bend Pak XPR 10-LP with the symetric arms, and I lift everything from small cars to crew cab dually diesels, and the one thing that I found out with the low profile arms are that they are about 5" shorter than the regular arms. That may not sound like much but it makes a difference when...
