saw a place renting them
i bought one on ebay a while back for like$55 on sale

Any name/contact for them?

Was thinking to actually buy one as i could foresee multiple uses over time, which likely makes more economic sense depending on rental cost.

However if i cant find anywhere selling it will have no choice but to rent for now.

Clean It Yuhself on Facebook has some of the bigger extractors. You can rent for 24 hrs @ $300/$350 weekday/weekend, respectively. They also have refurbished ones for $3,500 and new for $5,500 iirc.

I'm thinking about buying a refurbished one and trying it out, because like you, I'm also weighing the cost to rent, in tandem with the amount of things I can clean, plus I can also rent it like they do, as a side hustle..

Thanks fellas!

yeah those are the ppl on fb

i bought it refurb on ebay and shipped via seabox
worth it for me

before i used a shopvac which did ok job sucking out the water too


clean car seats are a must

So the local ones for $3,500 are worth it?

u can bring in your own for less than half unless you going commercial

It's a commercial one I was looking at for real. The Big Green..it's $1,000 more than the refurbished from CIY and $1,000 less than the brand new from CIY.

Where can I get a good table saw locally to buy at a reasonable price?

Preferably Dewalt/Makita/Bosch

[MG Man]

I bought mine in price smart a few years ago. They usually have stock but haven't looked for a while
Decent for decent DIY projects
I regret not buying the miter saw when they had it though

[medalist]

Went pricesmart recently and none . Website has none also

Saw one recently for sale on fb marketplace rigid brand for about 2500

It look decent from the pics

[medalist]

Reason I was looking at a good brand is because of durability and accuracy of the cut, meaning proper fence and blade tilt.

[pugboy]

the dewalt is the highest rated in that class of table top table saw
has good rack and pinion fence mechanism.

Purchased a Total miter saw 2 weeks ago. Used it to build two projects thus far. Best $900 I ever spent.

[MG Man]

where'd you buy it?

[De Dragon]

where'd you buy it?

De boss get tired of having to use angle grinder/chop saw etc to make angled cuts, and she bought one at the little hardware on the Croisee next to Cyro's BBQ. $1500.00 IIRC.

[Gladiator]

where'd you buy it?

R&K Hardware, Agricultural & General Supplies Ltd. in St Helena

[pugboy]

Can anyone recommend where I can rent a heavy duty 220v extension cord to work with a welding machine? I need to do some welding, but the closest 220v outlet is about 50 feet away, so I need an extension cord to get it to work. Not interested in buying because this is likely a one-off use, doesn't make sense to buy for a single use. The person who I borrowing from doesn't have a long enough extension either.

[INDAVID WORKSHOP]

Bro I have the required length you need advise on location and period the cord is required for use.

I have an 18V Bosch cordless planer that's on the fritz. Can anyone recommend a service technician who can maybe look at it and give me a health check? I would post pics of the planer but can't figure out how to do that in Trinituner

Allied sells Bosch and Southern Wholesale Store as well. Best to call them and ask.

[sMASH]

anyone know if these type of induction motors/centrifugal pumps ( 3 phase) have any sort of value these days beyond their copper value?

found a bunch of them cleaning out a old stock room

Any of those 220v?

It's the Harbor Freight brand, generic chinese, however HF jacks are one of their best items. Pittsburgh, Arcan, PT, Big Red all the same basically.
I have one in a shop environment 6 years now without issue.

But i really need the extra height, so looking at the tallest option.
