Someone on the smiley rock trip worked for 20 mins or so to use his harbor freight jack but couldn't get it to work. I drug out my Hi lift and got the vehicle up to change a blow out in less than 5.

On a camp out a couple of years age a friend and I taught a couple of Leatherman engineers how to make fire by rubbing sticks together. They said the would send us some protypes for evaluation since we do search and rescue and would have good useful experiences with the new tools. Never heard a...

Useful? I don't know about that but I like it and it does get a few comments:

I was talking about the least expensive lights available... I know there are brighter lights available but for a budget minded person Halogens work fine. I'm talking less the $200 for all the lights on the front of my truck! And these do just fine doing 75+mph down a dark highway.

Yeah I meant no offense but it sounded like your project was completed when in actuality it was still in progress.....chill out man!

doesn't look like you kept any of the patina on the head....it's all shiny. And why didn't you cut the protruding part of the handle off, how could you get the wedge properly seated with that much wood above the head?

If the batteries are connected in parallel (+to +, -to-) it will be the same as one large battery, just use one output from the charger. If you run two totally separate systems then use both outputs, one on each battery.

You don't know what you're talking about, solder has it's uses and is perfectly fine for many uses including large heavy current connectors. Solder does not harden the wire, it's the solder that wicks down the conductors due to sloppy, wrong technique that makes that part of the wire stiff and...

I have a hilift with custom base, lift mate and a PAIR of jack stands. bottle jacks are just as dangerous and any other jack IMHO....I do have a 20 ton bottle jack but that's for lifting parts of houses.
