Best garage creeper seat, best mechanics rolling seat

A car maintenance should include a possibility to get under your vehicle, and work on oily bits. However, it is not always easy to do it. It is harmful and also unhygienic to squirm under a car, or to squat by a wheel. Thankfully, a smart invention has been created such as a creeper seat (you may know it as a mechanic seat).

Our partner’s notice:

Great little chair for my work on the side of my truck. My weight is about 260, and I am 6’6″ , and this little thing supports me well. I have a concrete floor, and it rolls on it without any problems, and I can easily move it here and there, around my truck. Wheels do not bind, and slide well. It has a cushion that is quite comfortable (of course, I wouldn’t use it in my office for the whole day). The price is rather fair. So I will buy it again. By the way, I didn’t notice any weakness on the weld joints.

What Is An Electric Hoist?

A lifting device set up above a gantry or beam is called as an electric hoist. The hoist may slide along the rail, and it can be also fixed in one place. The electric motor of the winch is attached to a gear mechanism that rotate a drum. There is a wire around the drum, and it has a hook connected on the free end. There is also a control box that regulates raising and lowering of the load hook by means of a button. The electric hoists vary by voltage requirements, capacity, speed of lifting, mobility, and cable length.

These devices are commonly used for commercial and also industrial purposes. The residential usage of the electrical hoists is also possible. For example, it is usually used for garage door opener.

Our partner’s review:

This thing is very useful! If you work on your own, without any staff, this tool will be your employee and help you a lot! It has adjustable speed, and it is very convenient. Sometimes I use metal fabrication, and it should be moved for just 1/8 inch more, and this machine can do it! Moreover, it has the limit switch, and it stops motor at 1000 pounds. Due to this, the motor damages are prevented. It’s very important.

Best portable car jack, types of car jacks for home garage.

Types of Car Jacks

There are different types of car jack. And we are going to describe the most common ones.
1. Scissor jacks is a usual type working with any car. It is easy to lift it, and sometimes it may be found in a new car as a spare tire compartment. It is operated by means of a large screw, and due to it, the vehicle is lifted. Scissor jacks are light and helpful in the emergency kit.
2. Bottle jack is a step up from scissor jacks. The name speaks for itself: it is like a bottle. This type of the car jack uses a hydraulic mechanism that helps to lift a car. It is also not big and does not take much space in a trunk. It will do for bigger vehicles like SUV.
3. Floor jack is often met in a garage with jack stands. It has wheel for better movement because it is rather heavy. This type of the car jack is known for a good durability. A cost is higher compared to the previous types. It is necessary only for performing maintenance.

Our partner’s review:

It is heavy and that is good, but I can carry it easily. I thought that it was made in China, but the quality is higher. The wheels are well designed. The jack is stored by pushing a grip between the lift arm and a frame. Lowering is smooth, and it is stopped at any point. The product looks like on the picture. I definitely recommend it.
