That was what I was doing with that one before they got me. In our new place, we have lots of wild-life, including plenty of paper wasps. I keep them away from anywhere that's going to interfere with us, the porch, garage, etc... I try to get them early when the nest is small and there's just one or two wasps and no eggs.



Yes, I ordered the AC Hydraulic low profile jack, and that's how I found it one morning when I was leaving for work at 430. That was how it was drop shipped, partially wrapped in shrink wrap, no box, no protection. I guess the theory is that the jack is so sturdy that it doesn't need a box. I'm here to tell you that yes, the jack is tough, but the front wheels, are tough, but not tough enough to be shipped like that. And no, the whole jack didn't arrive. It was missing the round metal cup, the handle rod, and the D-handle that goes on the end of the handle shaft. And one of the front wheels was broken. They shipped a second jack (same way, just shrink wrap) and it arrived with the handle and D-handle but no cup, and another broken wheel. Pelican sent me a cup. I built a box for the jack that I had to return that had broken wheels.
