WANTED Overhead pully system for pneumatic tools

[Mike Drury MCPF]

Can anyone help me identify the company that is at West Coast show every year that has the metal pole which attaches to your bench and has a pulley system to raise and lower pneumatic tools. Also, if you have that system in your shop how do you like it? Thanks, Mike

I sort of did my own thing. (i'll try to take a picture later. very busy right now.)

but, i think you're talking about AMS?

 

[Rob Markoff]

Definitely AMS. You might want to try searching for pneumatic tool balancers - they are available from many companies-

I like http://www.northernsafety.com/indus...neumatic-accessories/pneumatic-tool-balancers

Amazon lists many: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=pneumatic+tool+balancer

Killer deals on ebay too: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...alancer&_nkw=pneumatic+tool+balancer&_sacat=0

We don't have any in the shop right now, but when we did 35 years ago, we used a plastic gallon milk container full of rocks as the counterweight for the tool. Rocks worked nicely since we could add or remove them as needed and wouldn't make much a mess (unlike sand) if the container dropped and split open for some reason.
