In my area there is only 1 lift and it is often unavailable so counting on this would be a very poor emergency plan on my part. So I need to get...
I’m very familiar with the inflatable boot type seals as we work on those on commercial ships all the time. Unfortunately, not very relevant here...
Another misguided attempt to redistribute wealth. Instead of accomplishing that, they will put people out of work that need the jobs the most. I...
They rebuilt the failed seal and returned it to like new condition for me. Don’t think I could ask much more. They have also been responsive to...
Wasn’t looking for something to allow me to keep operating. I was curious what folks carry to seal the shaft and then come home on the other...
