Can i mount this unit horizontally on a giant steel pulley (fast sheave) and will it stay attached by itself and still drill?

Yes. As long as the elec. Magnet switch is on. VERY powerful magnet ! It would support a mule!

You can drill horizontally as long as you secure the drill by magnetize it to steel while drilling! I would also support it by means of roping it off just it case you loose power to the magnet!

I have used mine horizontally a few times. I noticed that you need all the surface area of the magnetic base to hold or it will pull up and move.

my husband answered with the following'If attachment area is flat and large enough to set the base on it will drill at any angle'hope that helps. My husband loves this tool.

NO, install pulley assemblies before hanging from celling then mount to celling mounting screws are then out of the way of the rollers.

Doubt it, but dimensions on their website should tell you. There are no holes for bolting it to anything, but you could probably drill your own. it does come with a cable for lashing it to something that is stationary , so perhaps that would do.

You should be able to mount it on a horizontal bar (which I haven't tried). The holder does rotate on plastic gear teeth, like a ratchet.

Better with impact but can be done by hand. Biggest issue is access to stud to be removed. Puller is quite large, i.e about the size of a drill chuck

Yes but the speed is probably way to high and when you lower it you lose a lot of torque so it's far from ideal. A drill capable of 2-4000 rpm would be better.

No. This unit should be permanently mounted. It's fairly heavy and very awkward. Best off buying a portable unit

Yes, it will work in the horizontal position. It is designed to be used that way. We bought it for our forklift and have had no problems.

Yes. I assembled this myself with a screwdriver. If you have a power screwdriver or drill with a bit, things go much faster. You may need help lilfting it up, depending how strong you are.

I'm not sure if the red metal housing that the motor sits in will support welding or not. I mounted my hoist to rafters in my garage ceiling using pre-drilled holes in the red metal housing and running bolts through a double 2x4 that I strung between two rafters. I did have to take out the motor from the red metal housing first and then screw it all together at the same time. A bit extra work, but it works and is secure.

Yes, pull up, rotate then push down. That is even if you mount the base vertically or horrizontally.

My mother's is mounted horizontally. My brother did the install, and didn't comment about there being any difficulties. Looks great...SO much better than those cheap plastic boxes at Lowes or Home Depot.

You would not want to drill any holes through the steel legs. It would be difficult without some sophistacated equipment anyway. I have mine secured with dirt screw in anchors (get at hardware store. they are used for securing sheds and trailers) along with ratchet straps hooked to the top steel bar. I use rope loops to hook the straps into. Ratchet the thing down and your house will blow away before this thing does.

I attached a right angle drill to mine, but it took some engineering to attach to the tapered shaft. It worked really well and FAST! I stripped 2 55gallon drums of wire scraps in about 2 hours.

Yes I installed it horizontally and it works just fine. In fact, its safer to install horizontally because you dont risk being locked out of the house when you slam the door close and the lock accidentally come down and locks you out!

No. The pulley attachment stands at least 8ft tall when attached and needs to lift up even higher to remove it. Mine is in my garage which I think has 14-16ft tall ceilings.

I don't plan to mount it in a horizontal position, but, I don't see why you couldn't. It should be fine mounted horizontally.
