They keep making them, I'll keep buying them. Agreed. I do wish DeWalt would have come out with a similar version. I like the Ridgid but not willing to add another platform. Not a big deal. I don't use it often but it does what I need it to do. I've done it more than once lol.... No clue...

I do lol....I think I posted pics up a while back of it. It definitely comes in handy. I've even reheated my breakfast sandwich with it. Now you need to get it's big brother:

I don't really have a recommendation for something that will easily go up stairs loaded with materials and tools. It's rare that I'm on job sites that don't have working elevators available. My quotes generally specify that the pricing is with the understanding that there are functioning...

Looks like ABC's extrusion that's tension fit together using corner keys. You should be able to persuade the end piece to come off with a few taps of a hammer.

I would 100% leave the brick and pad and have the new sign fabbed as a slip-over so it fits around the brick. Even if the sign is larger, that's going to save them a bunch of money if they don't have to demo the existing. If you have to build/frame out the posts for additional support, it would...

Try Gorilla tape and Tyvek-type material for your patterns. Roll up from both ends to the middle like a scroll. Tape in place with the center of the pattern at the correct location on the wall. Plumb the pattern using the vertical center line on the pattern. Tape one side of the rolled 'scroll'...

Agreed - I rarely need the Lexel, but it's always on the van. The maority of what I install is with silicone. I mainly use Lexel for acrylic or polycarbonate signs in specialty situations (heavy signs, signs subject to tampering or theft, etc) since silicone adheres poorly to bare, smooth...

Yeah, you kind of have to be aware of that going in. It takes a while to fully set up. It's definitely not a quick grab solution. Silicone sets up much faster. But if you have something acrylic or polycarbonate that will stay in place while the Lexel sets up, once the Lexel DOES cure, no one is...

....whereas Lexel smells like crap and does stick well. :D It actually smells just like model glue - the glue that came with model cars. Which makes sense because it welds/etches just like model glue used to. That being said, I've never seen it referred to on the forum as silicone.....just a...

Those signs aren't heavy (comparatively). I wouldn't use any liquid adhesive (silicone, etc). It will often shrink slightly when curing and pucker the vinyl....then you'll have another problem on your hands. There's zero need for any liquid adhesive. Vertical strips of VHB tape are more than...

The problem with Corten is it continues to weather for a period of time. That weathering process may cause issues with tape and adhesives. If it were me, I'd bite the bullet and drill the holes and sleep soundly at night.

Thought so lol, the pic on Lowe's site shows it spaced off.

That's slick. Are you missing the spacer for the left side of that rail? If so, I have a few different sized aluminum ones that would probably work.

Nice. Does it clamp on or just hang?

Hey now, no throwing shade at the Mercedes. :) I would have bought these vans whether they were Ford, Chevy, Nissan, etc. I needed something fully enclosed that could carry 4'x8' material, fit in any parking garage, fit in my garage, and be able to tow an aerial lift. To my knowledge, this is...

Cool deal.....if you have to work at height, that's the tow-behind brand to get. A few gratuitous pictures....

I would recommend Lexel (available at Lowe's) or Dap Ultra Clear (available at Home Depot). They take a while to cure but will do the trick and dry clear.
