I think the limes new?

 

Yeah, I've never seen it in stores.

 

They said they just got it in.

I didn't care either way, just wanted the highest lift I could get.

 

Always buy yellow. Make your friends envious of a car jack lol

 

Does the yellow jack lift higher than the orange one? I nearly bought the yellow one last time it was on sale (a few months ago) but man it was very heavy. My aluminum jack has made a wimp of me. But I think I need to break down and get a heavy duty jack.

NVM, 23" vs 18" so yeah it lifts higher

 

Bottom right orange lifts 24.25” and I think it’s the only one that goes that high.

 

I have been searching for a cord reel for quite some time, but havent pulled the trigger knowing how temperamental they can be.

 

My ceilings are too high so it would have to be wall mounted.

 

My HDX cord reel is still flawless.

Cheaper than HF, too.

 

Most cord reels allow you to set how far the cord retracts into the reel. The is a movable ball stop on the cord. That means you can have the cord hang down to within reach, even though the reel is way up there hidden in the rafters.

 

But at that point I’m left with very little usable cord.

 

True it will decrease what you can use. But it is 40 feet, so even with a 20 foot high ceiling you should have enough to work with.
I like having it right at hand overhead. Not having cords strewn across the floor, or where my creeper needs to roll, or under tires, or having to find a wall outlet behind shelves & stuff, etc. Also, my garage only had three outlets to begin with. This allows me to use the extra one by the garage door power source.

 

Realized my arcan aluminum jack only raises 18” that Daytona jack that raises 24” would be sweet.

Just wanted to give an update on their titanium Mig 140 welder since it’s a fairly new product.

Owned it for a few months now, and have used it for many different projects. So far I don’t have a single complaint. Quality is nice and lays nice, consistent welds. 10/10 would buy again and recommend to anyone.

 

Got the same one a couple years ago. Works great, super handy and inexpensive.

 

When I replaced a wheel stud last fall having a very heavy jack helped keep it stabilized IMO, My driveway is on a slight incline and without that weight, I may have tipped it.
