  • A subscriber had a lift table that he was no longer using. Instead of selling it, he offered it to me. The only catch is, its a couple states away and weighs in at about 800 lbs. Thanks Jim!
    I use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner.

    @TractorWrangler01 Před rokem +2

    I have a "Handy Lift" and this is similar in function. The handy lift is larger but I never had a hard time moving it around like that. The handy lift is pneumatic and has a huge cylinder under it. It weighs about 400 lbs or so and I move it around the shop easily by myself. I put a wheeled dolly under one end by lifting it and sliding the dolly under with my foot. Then I simply lift the other end by hand and move it around like a wheel barrow. Easy peasy. At one time I entertained putting permanent wheels on one end but dismissed the idea because it was just easy to move without it. BTW that lift will be a godsend when you have something really heavy you need to get into or out of the back of a pickup truck. You're going to love that. I use mine constantly. Also find a 1/4" - 1/2" piece of plate steel a little larger than the top and you have a welding bench and a trans bench too. You'll use that for everything. Meanwhile it's a work bench that very rarely gets cluttered. Your viewer must really love ya. And a thank you from me to him for his generosity! That viewer just changed your life with one great gift. 👍

    I always wondered why you didn't have one of those yet, just watching you bent constantly over made my back hurt!! I have the HF motorcycle lift ( I took it as payment for replacing the starter ring gear on a HD) and use it for all sorts if stuff, not just motorcycles, saves SO much pain in the old back. I had my back cut on back in 2005 and both shoulders done in 2018, so having my work on a table is a requirement at 56.

    Your compressor may be large enough. I think its a matter of volume. Maybe a second tank that would hold about 30 gallons with a T fitting so your lift could draw off both? Of course the second tank would always be in place unless you had to take the compressor out for for some other duty......Nice guy, that man that gave you the lift!

    England. That little winch you bought nearly destroyed my 'courting tackle'. I got fed up with digging ornamental fir trees out of my front garden and used the same item with a 1000lb rated rope. I loaded it as much as I thought safe - nothing happened. As I stepped over the rope it broke, I felt it brush pass my nether regions. My wife said 'Is it alright'. I said 'f&^$%^ hell' (our version of 'Oh My God').
