Supercheap engine crane on special

[BobsYourUncle]

This isn't a for sale ad, but I think this is the best place to post it - I was at supercheap this morning, and noticed they have their engine crane on sale at $199, which is $50 or $60 less than the usual "sale" price, and $190 off the full price. Thought I'd give everyone a heads-up.

 

I know they're not everyone's favourite tool brand, but it's a good special.

They also have the sand blasting cabinet on sale for $130 (if my memory is right).  This is a saving of $60.  It's one of the best tools I've bought.  Saves hours in cleaning parts and doesn't take up much room.

 

Gotta love Father's Day Sales!!

This is interesting... What's the specs of the compressor that you run this off?

A compressor that can hold/run at 90 psi - so that's any compressor that you would use to paint or run tools with.  Mine's a three piston monster - because that was what was available when I was looking, but a smaller unit would do fine.

 

Don't buy the fine black media that Supercheap sell - it's crap and makes so much dust you can't see what you are doing.  Buy the red garnet from a proper tool shop (BJ Bearings) it's cheaper ($20 for 25kg).

 

I've been able to do brake calipers/whole struts/as well as lots of small bits and pieces.  Well worth the money - IMHO

 

Got an engine crane too.  It's used for a lot more than lifting engines.  Good for lifting anything and holding it while you back the trailer under it.  It is a must have if you do most of your work on your own.
