I didn't know where to post exactly but anyway... I was Googlin' for a DIY parts washer since the HF one's quality is suspect and they NEVER have one in stock. Anyway, I thot this was cool as shit even though it would take up too much room in my little shop.

I guess it could be disassembled and stored but would defeat the purpose. I contemplated welding my jack stands to my wheel dollies but havnt pursued it.

Nice, wish there was actual plans though instead of just pics. Wonder how long it takes to raise and lower? Maybe someone could put starter motors on each jack

I was thinking cordless drills on a common switch. Proly can pick up 4 drills for cheap at H-F.

I have an electric jack on the tongue of my toy hauler but four of those would cost more than a cheap floor lift. I ran across that one on homemadetools.com. There are some pretty engenious ideas on there. I think I'm gonna build a parts washer with some junk I got layin around ie: shower base from an RV, Chevy fuel pump from the same truck, and a 12V transducer to power it. I got a pedal switch on a router table that would be handy too. The TBI pump may not push much solvent though. Not sure.
