  • A subscriber had a lift table that he was no longer using. Instead of selling it, he offered it to me. The only catch is, its a couple states away and weighs in at about 800 lbs. Thanks Jim!
    I use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner.

    I have a "Handy Lift" and this is similar in function. The handy lift is larger but I never had a hard time moving it around like that. The handy lift is pneumatic and has a huge cylinder under it. It weighs about 400 lbs or so and I move it around the shop easily by myself. I put a wheeled dolly under one end by lifting it and sliding the dolly under with my foot. Then I simply lift the other end by hand and move it around like a wheel barrow. Easy peasy. At one time I entertained putting permanent wheels on one end but dismissed the idea because it was just easy to move without it. BTW that lift will be a godsend when you have something really heavy you need to get into or out of the back of a pickup truck. You're going to love that. I use mine constantly. Also find a 1/4" - 1/2" piece of plate steel a little larger than the top and you have a welding bench and a trans bench too. You'll use that for everything. Meanwhile it's a work bench that very rarely gets cluttered. Your viewer must really love ya. And a thank you from me to him for his generosity! That viewer just changed your life with one great gift. 👍

I had my back cut on back in 2005 and both shoulders done in 2018, so having my work on a table is a requirement at 56.

I loaded it as much as I thought safe - nothing happened. As I stepped over the rope it broke, I felt it brush pass my nether regions. My wife said 'Is it alright'. I said 'f&^$%^ hell' (our version of 'Oh My God').
