New tool to play with
 

Bought myself an early Christmas present. At 81 pounding things with a hammer (I'm not quite as accurate as I once was :eek: ) is wearing thin so I got myself a hydraulic kit.

Nice, is that a HF one?

The brand is Torin "Big Red". I've had luck with Big Red jacks when jacking up the porch this summer so I went with them.

Looks good. And wise. Nothing seems to get easier, not pounding or anything
else for that matter. Have a good time with your Christmas Present.

Nice, let us know how it works out.

I'd like to know more about your hydraulic kit; What country is it made in? 4 ton, 8 ton or what? I turn 80 in April and can relate to age limitations. Maybe a Torino "Big Red" is in my future. Thanks for sharing.

It's a 4 ton (8,000lb) kit. Made in China. I figure at my age and for how often I'll use it this is probably the most cost effective way to go. Here's a link.
