Lifts

Lifts

Big Tools

Got Plans for the New Year…..?

Big jobs, projects, or maybe some firework launching from a platform…..

Lift machines are popular tools for big projects, jobs, and work.

Lift machines can be used indoors and outdoors, they can go straight up and down or at an angle, and they can be raised with hydraulic pressure extensions or turn cranking extensions.

Outdoor Exterior Use

It is easy to see the Lift machines at a Construction site, they usually have large tires that can go off road and have a large bar that extends up at an angle or straight up and down, the bucket at the end of the bar can hold people that are painting, doing siding work, roof work, installing windows, and other work that is higher than what normal ladders can reach.

Lift trucks are also used when a large object would be difficult to carry up or down a ladder.  

For example, installing windows on a second or third level, or delivering drywall sheets that might be difficult moving inside the building.

Interior Use

Lift carts and trucks can be used indoors also.  Some examples are painting high places, ceilings, etc., in Commercial buildings and Event buildings; installing light fixtures, light bulbs, and other technology; fixing leaking roof and ceiling areas, repairing drywall and structure areas; and other reasons to get high.

Hydraulic and Other Supports

Lifts can go up at an angle and extend out, the platform to work in is at the end of the extension.

Other designs use an X design that extends up and down, with the platform on top.

These designs can use hydraulic pressure to extend out and lift heavy weights….

Other designs use a turning rod extension without hydraulic chambers, to lift up and hold heavy weight.

These lift machines are usually expensive or might only be needed once in a while, therefore they can be rented and sometimes delivered by equipment rental companies.

Tool Purchases and Buying

Feb. 26, 2025 Tool-ideas.com Blog Post

New Tool Purchases and Buying

Wants, Needs, Sales, Deals

Tool ideas, getting new tools, there can be very many reasons to go to the hardware store, look online, research, look at the newspaper ads, and other types of shopping for tools.

Is it something you need, or is it a want, for the guys that have all the tools they need, it might be challenging to find a new tool that they don’t have, although when you see these wonderful sales, and special deals, getting a second tool or Backup Tool is sometimes a good idea.

Tools Needed for a SpecificJob, Project, or Part

There are times when a specific part needs a specific tool to fix that part, or to use that part.

If the person that is working on the part doesn’t have the specific tool, they might need to go and find where they can buy rent or purchase one of the tools that they can use for that specific part.

Also, when working on a specific project, a specific tool might be needed for that project and to get that project done on time and in a speedy fashion.

An extra bonus, could be that when buying extra tools for a specific project they might be included in the budget, or possibly tax deductible.

Getting Rewards for the Contractor Account

Another extra bonus, could be getting rewards for the contractor account at the local hardware store.

Many hardware stores have special rewards accounts for contractors and wholesalers and give wholesale prices to professional industry workers and customers.

When buying new tools, and specific tools for specific projects and parts, sometimes you can rack up the points on the contractor reward account.

Debit or credit, can make a difference in the contractor account, if the balance is positive and your purchasing from money that’s already been deposited that’s a positive, if purchasing off credit it could be a negative or a positive depending on the resources available to pay the credit balance.

Springtime Projects

Springtime is a popular time to get going on new projects and things that people have been putting off during the winter months,…. Whether you need a new tool or not, good luck on the new projects.

Memories

Old Tools

Old tools that sit, stand, or are still in there, ….although they have been replaced with a newer version.

Now, the newer version of the tool is usually used, and the other tool that usually was used until it couldn’t be used any more,…. so you Had to get a New one….

 

 

Memory Joggers

It might help with refreshing the memory to try using one of those “old tools” that had been being used until it couldn’t be used any more.

I did that , I used a broom to sweep out the floor….the broom was the “old” broom with brissles and a brush that was worn down to just inches.

The Thought

The thought is that, “I had been using this tool…..” and then I was able to buy or get a replacement o new version of the tool.

Using tools that are in bad condition, or worn down, is common practice for people that don’t have enough money to pay for everything that needs to get paid.

Tough Choices

Deciding what or who to pay when there is only a little bit of money available…..makes tough choices.

Especially, when there is someone holding or withholding money that is supposed to be paid to that poor person.

Manipulation.

Trying Different Materials


Repairing tools…….when to say when…


When a tool breaks, or a similar happening and the thought is:


–> Replace it, with a new one,….that usually means having to go to the store and buy another tool….


–> Repair it, …..could I fix this ? or should I take it to Shop that fixes things like these,….


When trying to Repair it, you might need to try different and various materials.


Usually a good quality product is originally made with the most appropriate parts and materials.


Although, lower quality products are some times made with materials that could be improved or replaced with better or stronger materials, parts, or products.


Testing the different replacement part can help identify where the problem is, what is happening, and what the best material, part or replacement will work.


Replacing or Repairing can seem like a “mission impossible”, “overwhelming situation”, or “I can do it, ….but now I’m in a mess….”,….


Advise?


“Take you’re time, but hurry up !”


“Be patient, and “I need it NOW” “


That’s some phrases that come to mind!

“Man, that’s a lot of work !!”

Common phrases when there is something in the way that needs to be moved, re-moved,….

Why

Examples are snow, dirt, fallen trees, vehicle accidents, and other road blocks that usually aren’t moving.

Usually, another big tool comes to push the blockage out of the way.  Snow plows have a large metal blade that is attached to the front of a vehicle and is pushed forward and backward by the vehicle to move snow off the driveway.

When and Where

When clearing land and building Construction Projects and buildings, there are vehicles that have large metal blades and large metal sheets with a curved front that are used to move dirt, rocks, trees, and critters out of the way.

Rolling Along

The land clearing vehicle sometimes have large tires for off raid work, they might also have revolving tracks instead of tires that allow the vehicle to move forward and backward.

———————————-

Attachments

There are bars that can be attached to the front of safety vehicles and other personal trucks.

These stronger bars attach in front of the trucks front grill and protect the front of the vehicle from being damaged in head on collisions,….

The bars might also allow the vehicle to push another vehicle without damaging the bumper of the vehicle.

Tools that push….

and Pushing tools……

Signs of a modern economy.

You’re Flipping Outrageous !!

Written on Feb. 29, 2024 Blog Tostep2.com Published on March 1, 2024

“You’re Flipping Outrageous !!”

“Making Coins and cents with elbow greese,…”

Trading tokens, making crafts for the farmers markets and garage sales, going to auctions, etc…..

It’s embarrassing that the Gov’t, would be so obsessed with taxing every little cent from genuine people who are just.

Similar to vitamins, the “Regulators” have been attempting to “Dominate” and exhert their regulations and demand Information and Data that is usually private or confidential.

Share-holders

Obviously, there are “Safety” standards, although “Protecting the People’s safety” is usually an excuse for Domination and Demands of Personal and Private information or property, or the inverse of “Denying the Ability” to conduct business.

Safety Standards can be set by many different sources and observed or verified in many ways, it doesn’t have to be dominated or Interfered with by Gov’t Regulators.

Been Doing This For A Longtime

As stated before, “Making Coins and Cents with elbow greese,….”

Should be honored as a normal part of functioning communities, people, neighborhoods.
