Wire Tracers

[David Brady]

Tom, I see that the OTC 20 ton stands have a height range of from
15.25 to 24 inches. On the LXi, if I use the HWH jacks to pick the
back of the bus off the ground, the bottom of the frame rails at the tag
axle are approximately 28 inches from the ground. Have you seen
any stands that support 20 ton but have a height range suitable for
me. I don't feel comfortable putting blocking between the stand and
my reinforced, level, concrete floor, unless there's a suitable blocking
material that this list has experience with.

Thanks,
David Brady

Hmm, I haven't been hit in the head using any imported hydraulic lifting
devices. My 60 year old art deco styled floor jack still gets the bus in the
air. (Shop air over oil powered) I don't get too close to it while it is doing
it's job. I know a guy who is missing vision in an eye due to a hydraulic press
accident. I don't do business with catalog sellers anymore. Too many
disappointments.

Silly, what part of your M Benz was American Made? You can call me
Cheep but if $35.00 gets you 18% closer its worth it. I wonder if
that tool truck sells any Dale Carnegie titles.

They laid me away a couple hundred dollars for such a device, and
call me silly but I like to use product made in this COUNTRY. As
bird owner I am used to tracing circuits, and if I get over my head I
call Jeff Miller. Others stressing over the loss of "Benny" might
check out Jeff at Dupree products. He knows.

For that matter what part of any electronics device is made in the
USA, which hydraulic devices? As for tools some of the best are now
made in Japan and Taiwan and some are as expensive as Snapon which in
my opinion is way over priced for the occaional user.

Some of the tools I have had for over 45 years and they are still in
perfect shape and they are not snapon. I have two sets of 12X torque
multipliers which are made in Taiwan and believe me they are not
cheap and are very well made. The OTC heavy duty 22 1/2 ton
air/hydraulic floor jack is made in Taiwan and it is of excellent quality.
