looking for an engine cherry picker and an engine stand. any options in south?

[Ted_v2]

Duncan village tool house has both.

Personally would buy the pricemart cherry picker because it's a bigred, the brand is excellent.

Personally I used them already and they are excellent units. $1600ish

[cacasplat3]

i have a bad experience with a big red jack....leaked literally one month after the warranty was up....i changed seals on it two times already......
i'll still check on them tho...thanks!

[Ted_v2]

Plenty people does blame jacks but it's user error. Jacks make to lift not to hold the actual weight. Jackstands are a must.

Car falling optop of you ain't nice. Trust me I know

You see what you saying there,I always insist on that. Nobody working for me brave enough to go under a car without jack stands , and let me see them doing it. I even make them put two broad rims we have for that purpose.
True story. One day we heard loud screaming and went outside to see what was going on. The screams were coming from three houses away. When we got there ,a man under his car, bawling at a hundred mph. We had to lift the car to get him out,sadist had the car on a scissors jack and it roll back and fall on him. I not afraid to say it was Ceron Richards, president of the prisons Officers association. Yes, the same one who lose his gun.

Coming soon. Very advanced piece of equipment. Laser Lock Live Mapping Frame Measurement System.

[Ted_v2]

Yep, i remembered back in my early days with that. About 4 years ago, i jackup the lancer and changing a belt or something i cant remember exactly, my dad leaned on the car and The scissor jack fell, the spindle fall between my two legs and about 3" from landing on my balls . Dunno how i Get away that time. I now own 4 jackstands, I use all once the two front wheels are off.

A next time i cambering a car in work, Cant find a safety glasses so i fire up the Die grinder jusso, I finished up and left it disconnected on a table. Bossman then used it without the glasses, he get a piece of a filing in his eye, doctor used a magnetic tool pickup to remove it

[rspann]

So you nearly lose your gun too?

[Ted_v2]

Pew pew

[cacasplat3]

i never left load on the jack because i was taught not to do that from an early age...in any case...leaving a fraction of the rated load on the jack should not cause leakage. its a 3 ton jack and the heaviest vehicle it was used on was around 1450kg.

i checked pricesmart's website...a 2 ton torin folding engine hoist/cherry picker is $3100 which is pricey in my opinion
a torin 566kg engine stand is $1350 which is okay i guess

[pugboy]

very good advice, scissor jacks flex very easily

i always put the spare tire or flat tire under the vehicle as soon as possible

[zaria]

Tool coming with 2 but I Only need 1.
Brand new 6 ah,also works on the 20v tools and 20 v chargers.
750$

[cacasplat3]

I went into pricesmart and got the torin big red 2 ton engine hoist/cherry picker for $1400
I'm quite satisfied with that price compared to the online price of $3100 for pretty much the same thing.
Still trying to find an engine stand that is available locally. Pricesmart ones are brought into the country as ordered...so there is a wait period.

I'll go allied and grab one then. I went pricemart today. Worx drill and impact driver for 1k. Two tools. Two batteries. 20v and a nice carry bag. Excellent deal for a diy person. Seems like a great quality item.

[Morpheus]

Are these sold locally? If so, where can I get and average price?

[supercharged turbo]

Allied..average price depends on if you buy alone(tank) or complete system.I paid $1xx for my complete propane system

[X_Factor]

thats butane torch not propane....depends on his purpose of use

[Ted_v2]

My propane ain't too efficient. I does Just use it to light up bar be que and the occasional pvc pipe. My next purchase is a mapp setup

[Strugglerzinc]

I hadda go Mapp too. Propane is just not enough heat sometimes.

[supercharged turbo]

True was thinking about it as well

[racedriverpro]

Sup guys...looking for a small cheap air compressor to buy ASAP. New or preferably used.

[Strugglerzinc]

LDG advertising 2 post lift on the tuner banners, $18750, 9k lbs.
