You know,to pull the nails through,or clip them off on the backside? Right. Don't try to pull them out the front.

I get that, but. A little back story and a update. Kitchen window over the sink circa 1960. Cabinets were built in run along the wall on both sides of the sink. Pulled the window trim today and the cabinets on either side dropped an inch. The window trim was holding the cabinets up! Put a support under each side and pressed on. The kitchen is the addition that was put on in the 60's re muddle. Original house was built turn of the century. Every day is an adventure. lol Still breathing and positive outlook. IDKW

Picked this up at a local on line auction, it's looking a little rough but I will know more once I have some time to tinker with it. It had fuel in it that wasn't horrible, we will see.

Its a Honda EW 171, basically a 171 amp arc welder or a 4000 watt generator, $227 at auction. Not sure if it was a deal, you can buy them new at HF For $4-500 bucks. At least it will match my truck,

Bought this 5" PSA backing pad for one of my random orbital sanders. I have a hole bunch of paper I couldn't use because both were hook and loop.

Those high speed sanders have kind of fallen by the wayside these days, but boy they work good, and quick

Please show us those in action on the 4 post jacks when the time comes.

I will, planning to try them out soon on the Dart. Also to note, as I forgot to mention it in the other post, I settled on 22.5° for the vee so it will straddle a 2.5”-4” axle tube OD. That should cover anything I will work on.

Always wear a full face shield with one of those. I had a disc blow up on one of those and hit me in the leg.Im sure it was a fluke accident,but it went through my jeans and fairly deep on my leg. I still have it,not afraid of it never happened again but it would have been a different deal in the face. Also a buddy of mine was using a 4 inch grinder with a cutting wheel,it kicked back and did hit him in the face,lots of damage fast. Use a full face shield.

SO I have been beating the living hell out of my Harbor Freight tire changer over the last several years. I have to be close to 100 tire changes on it by now. The bead breaking leg on it is pretty bent up. I brought it into work to let the welding department to straighten it up and do some reinforcing.

BUT, I am sick of leaning over and braking my back to use it. So I got this bad boy coming this weekend to try out. I am hoping I can use this on the work bench and make it more comfortable to do.

I also picked up this duck head accessory for the tire changer but have not had a chance to use it yet:

I use this,but modified it is slicker than snot and breaks down stuff I struggled with before. I'll find my pics again and put them back up basically I just removed the back bar and replaced it with a loop of chain, throw the chain over the tire changer center post position the breaker and pull down on the lever,if it didn't break completely spin it 30 degrees and pull again. I'll look for a pic. the harbor freight breaker is a joke,this thing is fast and actually works,Bought mine at speedway and highly recommend the tool and speedway. Real US based customer service..
