Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"As you can see from the photos and due to the design and construction, the jack stand post and hydraulic piston tilt to the left throughout the lifting process. The effect is even more pronounced if the saddle is raised as the vehicle no longer sits on top of part tying the piston to the jack stand. I also noticed a disturbing amount of flex in the base and jack stand legs during lifting."
"Other than that, the only complaint is that it doesn't come with clear instructions for use, and the handle doesn't stay in the jack well or screw together tightly so it can be a bit of a hassle."
"This Jack is a very cool idea having a bottle jack and jack stand built into one product."
"The only negative is you may(depending on vehicle height)have to raise your car with another jack to get these under,but there is no way around that if you want enough room to safely work under your car."
"A great piece to have in a tool kit."
"Overall good product."
"The only bad thing, wish the handle was longer."
"I really like my jack and use it more than any other jack. I once again stated that the jack was still under warranty, and I once again received no response."

"He fell in love with it and has used it due to his penchant for off road driving."
"This jack together with reciprocate saw so far I could easily and quickly remove 3 stumps."
"came with lots of imperfections in the paint and spots where the paint was entirely gone, the box it arrived in was beat to hell but i kept it cause its still functional just as far as cosmetic it was a complete mess."
"Affordable jack to keep in your offroad rig. I would hate to have this jack get wet and rusted up (Hawaii is notorious for rusting of steel due to weather and salt in the air)."
"Coolest tool in my garage, I grin every time I see it."
"Heavy and durable just like the ones I've used 40 years ago."

After the first test it jacked somewhat so I repeated this two more times letting the jack rest upside down with the valve open for five minutes in between each jacking."

"On the first camping trip with it I plugged it into the truck as we had been dry camping for 3 days."
"The only downside, and the only reason I did not give it a 5, is that I cannot have the trailer hooked up and lower my tailgate on the truck."
"Now I can plug the jack into either the trailer or the truck, I can always find power, can adjust the trailer when not near the truck..for around $20 extra this was a simple and fun little project."
"Bad: Would not work after install, had to diagnose, found improper wiring on jack caused trailer charge fuse to blow, had to rewire jack, wiring was reversed - to +."

Find Best Price at Amazon"We used an S-carabiner and the latch straps to secure it, had our toddler ride in it, and then folded it down to put in the overhead bins on the airplane itself."
"We purchased this cart to carry our Diono car seat (and kid) when traveling through airports. Place the car seat on the cart, strap a bungee cord through the bottom of the car seat (as you would a seat belt strap in the car) and pull and secure both ends of bungee to each other behind the cart."
"After injuring my elbow hefting heavy shopping bags up to my mother's assisted living apartment (trying to avoid multiple trips), decided it was time for a hand cart."
"Keep in mind it is lighter duty and you won't be moving a fridge with it, but as seen in the picture, a case of water and 2 boxes of paper seems like a very reasonable load."
"There are plenty of places to hook bungee cords and that is excellent."
"I purchased this item to make it easier to haul cases of bottled water, etc."
"I only use it for toting boxes to the post office, so the fact it compacts to such a small size and sits in my trunk without taking up much space is a big plus for me."
"That's about a usage of less than 10 times a year."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Since I needed three sets of casters for different power tools, I decided to buy both a Powertec and a Rockler caster set and compare them to find out which one is the best. There are three main steel sections which can be seen in the picture titled "Part Names" with the three labels “Mounting Bracket”, “Pivot Arm”, and “Tilting Plate”. Notice that the Powertec has a much more rounded surface where it contacts the tilting plate, making it easier to slide and decreasing the wear on both this part and the tilting plate. Tilting Plate. Look at the picture with the caption “Tilting Plate Comparison”. Note that the Powertec plate is slightly flared at the top of the picture whereas the Rockler plate is straight. The Rockler also tilts down 1.8 degrees, much less than the Powertec. My guess is that the Rockler’s tilting plate will be more horizontal under load than the Powertec, although this is really conjecture on my part. Mounting Bracket. One minor issue is that the Rockler mounting plate has two sides and a center section that should be bent 90 degrees from each other. Material Thickness. The pivot arm, tilting plate, and mounting bracket on the Powertec are fabricated from steel that is 1/8” thick, or .125”. Finally, when mounting casters on my really heavy table saw, I will relocate the mounting hole on the tilting plate closer to the pivot point (where the 1/4" bolt is located) to put less stress on the plate when raising and lowering."
"I built an 8' long workbench and wanted to be able to move it on occasion or at will for various reasons (working on large objects, working on the wall behind the bench, cleaning...) so at first I was just looking for regular wheels - then I found these."
"These leg levelers allowed me to adjust the table height precisely to match the table saw's height and to assure the outfeed table was in plane with the top of the saw."
"They shipped rattling around in a big box as others have mentioned, which was somewhat disconcerting, but they were not hurt."
"I can move the table full of tools with a single finger and often have to grab the table to stop it because it will roll on it's own once in motion."
"These casters have no problem lifting the bench and it moves very smoothly across the concrete floor."
"Did follow someone else's recommendation to install slightly (0.5-1 inch) - higher placement of unit resulting in lesser clearance."
"I would highly recommend them if your project needs mobility though keeping in mind as stated that each wheel is rated for one hundred pounds."
Best Pallets
Articulating head gently removes pallet boards without breaking or splitting the wood. Deluxe pallet buster is designed for disassembling pallets easily.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I was previously using a combination of a saw, hammer and crow bar and it was probably taking me 20-30 minutes per pallet of screwing around to get it taken apart. This pallet buster has allowed me to get most pallets completely deconstructed in under 5 minutes."
"The only problem is it leaves one side of the plank damaged and is a tough one person job trying to hold and cut through the pallet and nails. Bottom line, if you are looking to work smarter and not harder this tool is a must have for reclaiming free pallet lumber in a simple sustainable way."
"I started taking Mine apart with a Flat Bar and a Sawzall, which worked but VERY TIME Consuming. Some of the Lighter Pine ones-THE Buster Will Pull the Nails through the Board without breaking them."
"However, considering it took me nearly an hour to strip a pallet with hand tools, and that doesn't count how much I managed to reduce to firewood, I'd consider that a big improvement. The forks stay flat on the surface I'm stripping, allowing the wood to peel off in a single straight motion. It won't save rotten or splitting wood; you still need to check your process to make sure you've picked a pallet worth the effort of stripping."
"What I mean is, the bottom two teeth swivel which allows the plank, no matter the angle, to be fully pressed upward without breaking the board in any way."
"However, the feet are very wide and do not fit between the planks of any pallets where the planks are spaced less than 1" apart from one another."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Introduction: My Loader/tractor: LA480 Kubota loader, L2900 Kubota tractor (30 hp). As many have remarked, shipping was super fast - mine was shipped out the same day I ordered it, good job Titan! Also as some have commented on, there are no instructions, not even a one page "thank you for your order, if you can't figure out how to use the product, please call us, etc., etc, bla, bla." My guess is Titan figured if they provide no instructions, specifications, nothing technical about the product, perhaps that might shield them from product liability issues. I believe it is a long standing law that country of origin must be clearly stated on the product if it is produced outside of the U.S. As a bit of an amateur welder (MIG, TIG, stick, and gas), the welds aren't pretty but it appears they are adequate however the only way to know is to slice through one of the welds and look at the penetration."
"I was able to unbox and install them in less than 5 minutes with no problem. I've picked up a pallet with a 50 gallon fuel tank on it, a few large hardwood logs, and a very large pile of tree limbs and brush with no problem whatsoever. These are a great option for occasional fork use (I primarily use mine for logs and brush) without needing to swap my bucket for a fork attachment, and they are reasonably priced, comparatively."
"I've used these to move a crated up 6 man Hot tub around my property with no problem and just unloaded a 20 x 30 heavy construction canvas winter building that was crated up off the trailer and around the property with no issues."
"I purchased the pallet forks with stabilizing bar for use on my John Deere 1023E sub-compact utility tractor and bucket. The forks and stabilizing bar are heavy, solid, and well constructed/welded. I followed a previous reviewers advise (indicated received advise from Titan) and put a ratcheting tie-down strap around the stabilizing bar and bucket. I called Titan Distributing the next morning and they provided excellent customer service and immediately sent out a stabilizing bar and it was here in 4 days (thank you Evan and Craig!)."

"I am giving this a lower rating because one of the things that the bolt for one of the wheels fell inside the frame as I was taking the nut off rendering screwing that fourth bolt on impossible unless I took the thing apart and not sure even then it would have worked."
"On the first use, the bolts attaching the wheels came loose and a couple fell out before we noticed the wheels were loose. I would still buy the cart again but definitely invest in some Loc-Tite for the bolts."
"We truck crates of books with it, and it holds up extremely well and continues to glide smoothly on its wheel bearings. One recommendation to the manufacturer: an instruction sheet which diagrams the attachment of the wheels would help those not mechanically inclined, and would prevent those who do not intuit the function of the "release bar" which allows movement of the handle into locked position for storage and for usage."
"You have to scrape off the injection molding stem buds, and sand the wheels down a bit, otherwise you'll have annoying bumping going on as you move the platform truck. I'm seriously considering just pulling the factory casters, and installing ones with brakes if the screw hole configurations match the platform truck. There is a hefty rubber bumper that goes around the outer edge of the deck to help prevent scratching walls, ect. I tested the truck out in my studio, which is actually a small house with some tight corners, and places where anything too much larger would not work well. I was able to fill up two of my thirty-ish gallon plastic trunks with gear, and stack them on the platform truck with no problems, as long as the terrain is relatively flat, or mildly inclined. I wish the factory had placed attachment points for straps to help secure large loads when negotiating inclined slopes, and ramps. Still, it'll come in handy for my lighting gigs in terms of getting heavy boxes of gear between vehicles, venue, and studio, ect."

That big ole ladder is probably one of the most underused pieces of important homeowner equipment that was the bane of my storage yet I could not get rid off. I like it so much that I did not subtract one star (I was going to give it only four, but its pluses outweigh its negatives) for the follwoing cons: I think the bracket could have been more robust. Here's a frame of reference: The J-hook is long enough that my Ryobi impact driver/drill had room to fit inside the "J" to attach the lag bolts to the joist."
"The unit installed easily and the supplied mounting hardware was adequate although I replaced the supplied screws with slightly longer ones to accommodate the double layer of drywall in my garage ceiling."

One big plus is that the hydraulic cylinder on the actual product vs. the image is much more robust and placed in the center and what I would expect for this table. One negative is the foot pedal required about 70 cycles to achieve maximum height (and this was not loaded). Releasing the hydraulic handle results in the platform dropping to its lowest height in about 9 seconds (again, unloaded)."
Best Pneumatic Equipment
The wheel has an inner tube to help resist punctures when inflated to the required pressure of 40 to 50 psi (pounds per square inch), a three-piece bolted hub for strength and to facilitate replacement of the inner tube, and two red sealed semi-precision ball bearings to help reduce friction and support the load, and it is suitable for use on many surfaces and terrains including rough surfaces such as gravel and uneven terrain. This wheel is typically used as a replacement part for most Magliner two-wheel hand trucks. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.
