Todays new toy

I went into Northern tool to JUST BUY THIS today

$3 bux......for a male end......thats it.



Soooooo

this is what I got to go with it....


I orginially went in for the brass connector you see on top



I put the air to this new gal and shet started to move so I held it down...on the concrete it was not a problem...very steady



Goes to the full 22 inches in about 4 seconds if you want it to.......swuuuuuuuuuueeeet!.

Got a roll of goo rubber hose so it will reach all the way out to the truck or the tahoe from the garage....



I gotta tell ya........this is the most expensive male connector I have ever bought.....

Air powered bottle jack....awesome...and safe

Meets all ANSI, AMSE standards and it appears to be built like a freeekin tank. Fits under the Hoe and the truck just fine......lifts sooooooo ez...

Anyway.......just a jack...thought I would share todays score, and my distinct lack of willpower. They WERE however 10% off all jacks all types nation wide.

Re: Todays new toy

Please Please Please ---- ALWAYS put a jackstand once it's up in the air.
Seals can fail.

Re: Todays new toy

Hmm...interesting! Two of my regular floorjacks are sorta overwhelmed by the DenaliXL and that might be a good solution The pad looks a little small though...any problems you can foresee?

Accumulator.

Make your own customized pads. Chopsaw and a 2x4 ;-)
Unless you have a buddy with a CNC

Re: Todays new toy

chefwong- Heh heh, I'm careful about what I burn up favors on

If I did a 2 x 4 I'd have to cover it with something that wouldn't mar up the frame rails while still being non-slip, easier said than done.

And no, I don't have a chopsaw either
