The last Craftsman "Professional" 6hp 60 gal compressor I bought has been rebuilt 4 times so far. Good thing I paid an extra $140 for the extended 3 year warranty. Last compressor I buy from Sears.

$1699 for the "American" lift vs. $1895 for a Direct Lift. $196 more for a certified lift....... http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Direct-Lift-Pro-Park-8S-p/tppro-park8s.htm

Other than 1000#, $500, and the 9k has a different lip on the inside of the runways for a roller jack, are there any real differences between the 8k & 9k lifts? Which brings me to the question; For light hobby use, is a roller jack worth the extra expense over a slider?

Next question: Why do the jacks cost so much? :confused: I would like to add a Direct Lift Pro Jack 3500, but for 500 bucks I think I could live with a bottle jack.

SWEET! That's what I was looking for. Does anyone know if there is ever a sale on the Direct Lifts? It looks like they are all priced the same no matter where you buy from.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a four post lift and thought I would see if I'm forgetting/missing anything. Shop = 30' x 50' metal, Straight wall, building. Vehicles = '05 Dodge, 4 door, pickup, '88 & '90 Suburban, '67, '68, & '69 Firebirds, '65 Bonneville, '00 Crown Vic. The "Plus/XLT"...

OK. Just remember you asked for it. :D

I'm going to pass on this one and go with a new lift. Thanks for all your input! And now. As promised. PIE!

Thanks for all of the info so far. Pie is in the oven. Until then, how about some cookies? :D

Oh yeah. What are the common things that need to be repaired on an old lift? Seals? Cables? Cables I would think aren't too expensive, but how about seals, etc...? I can't find anything on the net about a forward 12000# alignment lift. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks for...

This lift is about 3 hours away from me so all I have to work with are the photos I posted up here. From the looks of the alignment machine & all the rust, I would say this lift has been around a while. I haven't been able to locate anything about this particular model yet and was hoping...

I found a Forward 12000 pound 4 post alignment lift for sale nearby for $1800. I asked a few questions & this is what I got back: And here are the pictures: Whatcha think? Worth $1800? I really don't care about the alignment setup although it may save me a few bucks down the road...

Found these at a local pawn shop. They are priced at $199. Good deal or not?

MOST of it can be done by yourself, BUT you WILL need help along the way. Once you have the frame up, make sure you use a come-along or cables to square it all up. Then just tighten all of the bolts. I left the come-along in place until I had the siding up. Speaking of which, you can easily put...

Yes he did. I told him "NO" and he said something to the effect of "OK" or "must of been someone else.." and led me to the cabinets.

I stopped at the store on east 40 & they were out. The manager looked in the computer & told me the west Marion store had three. I didn't know about that store & went to the store on 200. They were out also, but the lady at the service counter checked the computer & called the west Marion store...

That's the one! No more left in Marion county. Sorry. Gainesville is supposed to have 8 though.

Did you sell this yet?

I had to drive to every store in my county, all 3, and finally found 3 cabinets at the last store. None of the stores would sell the display. :( I asked about other Gladiator products going on clearance & was told that they are just discontinuing the one line. Add 3 more to the GJ total!
