Re: A few things you might want for yourself
I've gotten a 27mm to 2-1/4 adapter in. I have it pictured here on the shopsmith bandsaw but this is a cover that I modified and added the port to, so not sure how it will fit the OEM ports.
Now if it would only warm up enough for me to spend some time out in the shop.

Re: A few things you might want for yourself
I don't own one of these but I can think of many cases where a few could come in handy (lifting radiators, ovens, furniture, benches etc). Looks like a good stocking stuffer to me.
Anyone own /use this type of device?

Those are handy for a lot of things. Mine is more or less the same thing:

Those are heavy duty lifters. Could certainly make good use of them. Not sure how flat these will get, seen inflatable shims for mounting doors in frames and I think I want them.

Mine measures 3/32" and will slip easily into an 1/8" space. Actually it pretty stiff so anything larger then the 3/32" I guess..........

Re: A few things you might want for yourself
I benefited from tow truck drivers using them on a few occasions to get into my work van when I had locked my keys in.
Eventually I got smart and now I carry a spare key in my wallet.

Re: A few things you might want for yourself
It is amazing how much a little bag filling up with air can lift. I used larger types at work to lift vehicles, train cars and even large slabs of concrete among other things. This was from my work as a firefighter on our Technical Rescue Team. Ron, we used a bag of similar size as the one above to open locked vehicles and probably the same as your tow truck drivers. Much easier to use than the old "slim Jims" were. Unlike your tow truck driver opening a vehicle with the keys locked inside we used them for emergencies like an infant/child locked in a vehicle.
One thing to note about air bags is the rating is based on full surface contact. The higher the lift the less surface area is remaining in contact, so the capacity is reduced.

That should do the job. I have a few doors that need to be re-hung. Actually two of the doors and frames should be totally replaced with quality versions.

Re: A few things you might want for yourself
When I do my tool budget for the year I always have some dollars in it for a nice tool(s) from the likes of woodpecker or other name brand. This year the budget had $100 but I found what I wanted and it was a bit over that. I really wanted it so for a few more dollars so I went ahead and got it anyway.
So here is the unveiling.
The excitement builds!
And my hands get to feel the brand new shiny tool, but I put it down to get the picture.
Didn't have time to play with it yet......

It is on sale right now if you are interested. With shipping and taxes it was $120.
If all goes right I hope to actually use it soon. Have a project that this will be perfect for.
