Some nice new toys. For number 1 (the jack) , if you are careful you can
lift a car by the pinch welds. I have worked in shops for years and have yet
to see one of the pads you are talking about being used. I have seen a few
of those pinch welds bend however. Just jack for a solid portion on the car.
But if you must have one of the pinch weld things I belive Eastwood company
or Groits Garage sells this item, if not find the Lincoln dealer and get one
through him.

I have one of these in my shop also, has a built in FM radio also. I just
mounted a second dish to the shop and ran the wire in, but since you have
cable this is not an option but what about going to Radio shack and buying
one of the 2.4 ghz Wireless room to room Video senders

LG%5F002%5F004%5F004%5F000&product%5Fid=15%2D1972 or cat # 15-1972. Split on
of your known outlets and attach to the sender and then use the reciver on
the TV/VCR, this way also if you have a big project outside of the shop (ie
bathroom remodel) or even a cookout you can use the TV almost anywhere and
still have cable. Also will allow you to move the TV around your shop
freely. Good Luck.

Well,
