August 28, 200422 yr comment_17713 Don't you just love going out and spending a weeks wages on tools? :P Latest addition to my tool collection is an Engine Crane / Stand, The engine stand is removable of course, going to come in handy during my 4AGE conversion :) Also bought a Self Darkening welding mask to assist in my education of MIG welding :D Edited August 28, 200422 yr by Medicine_Man Report
August 28, 200422 yr comment_17724 Self darkening is the siznat!! Its hard to line up your work then flip your visor down and start welding...sigh. You learn tricks that help eventually. and that engine stand/crane is one spicy meatball! Report
August 28, 200422 yr comment_17726 we'ver got the same crane, its great. But it doesnt have the stand bit :) I want one.. Report
August 28, 200422 yr comment_17734 If you don't mind me asking, how much was the crane/stand combo? Report
August 28, 200422 yr Author comment_17738 Well you can buy the engine crane alone as a single package for $249 or you can get the package with the engine stand for $289 from Trade Tools Direct :) Report
August 28, 200422 yr comment_17758 That's a pretty cool engine crane, I like that it has the engine stand bit too. Mine doesn't (supercrap) :) Also auto darkening helmets are cool, unfortunately mine doesn't work too well anymore (it darkens a split second too late, so it still hurts your eyes...) Report
August 28, 200422 yr comment_17765 i like the engine crane, would love one of those. i make do with an endless chain and my engine stand i bought new from the markets for $40. i love sunday markets. the autodarkening helmets are excellent. i always found i could mig so well with one of those, but fumbled in the dark without. it is amazing how guys from muffler shops and the like sometimes don't even use a mask. they just close their eyes and weld. experience i guess.
