    I finally got spray foam I think I was shorted a little

    First find out how man inches you paid for if you in fact paid for 7.5" you can use a wire and stab it into the spray foam and measure how deep it is on average. Do the same where you feel you are shorted what ever the difference is, is how much you are short.

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Got this guy for Christmas it's a smal Chicago Majestic 34 I don't know much about it. One thing is that it has smooth faced jaws and pipe jaws? To me that doesn't make sense. Any thoughts? Should I keep it or exchange for a newer made in USA jack that they also have in stock.

The reason I figure 2' from the door is enough because the doors are 10' wide and a vehicle is about 7-8' so if I drive straight in I now have about 3' from the door to the wall. My Sierra measures 20' long and my Jeep Grand Cherokee is 16' long. I...

    Old walker jack

    I am going to look at it again tomorrow. Any thing I should look for to ensure its good? How long should it take to pump up? Obviously it shouldn't leak but any tell tale signs it's no good and might need a new ram?
