is it a magnet like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TC12DRF

Shoelaces sounds like a bad idea. You want thicker, softer rope. Buy something like this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cotton-Rope-9mm-X-15meter/dp/B000UYTSYU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369779667&sr=8-1&keywords=Rope - you won't regret it. And it's super cheap. I cut mine into two shorter lengths, it's really good.

This tie is useful and easy: http://angblev.com/post/35350375227/two-column-tie-2012-ink - practice on your own legs first.

If you want to use belts it's pretty self explanatory... Just wrap it round and close it with the buckle.

they're from the suction cups that lifted the glass.

400lbs. Found this setup on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VHFWRF9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Ry5EDbHKSXGS2

Copying and pasting a comment from a previous thread -

I did a DIY setup, with everything coming from Amazon except the carabiners, which you can pretty much find anywhere. Here's the links for the parts:

Assuming you have some tools around, this should be everything you would need. I recommend a bolt cutter if you don't already have one. I thought I would be able to cut the steel cable with the wire cutters built into my pliers and it was not happening. Ended up having to make a trip to the tool shop this morning to get that.

They're called "spring balances" but i don't know of any strong enough to measure a winch load.

Edit :

440lbs, but on the right track :

I copied the share link as shown in the screenshot as I have with all my posts. I didn't post with a ref link - Amazon is adding that.

You could buy this and attach this magnet to it with a zip tie

Super Strong Neodymium Fishing Magnets, 450 lbs(204 KG) Pulling Force Rare Earth Magnet with Countersunk Hole Eyebolt Diameter 2.95 inch(75 mm) for Retrieving in River and Magnetic Fishing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TCLDS3T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ub3WDbTMBYYGG

Strongly disagree. HGTV has made it extremely difficult to find actual barn door track systems, and instead you're left with $50 stamped steel garbage on Amazon.

I'm building a proper outdoor sliding door for my shed, and I'm using Unistrut (also called Unirail) with some ball-bearing trolleys. It's worth browsing sites like TractorSupply and ranching/farming suppliers to get actual durable hardware.

This system might also be a good solution; you'll need to get some more track and weld it all together into a continuous piece though.

Here's TractorSupply.com's door hardware page. Lots of good options here.

Depending on what level of cool-looking overkill you're after you could also go for a proper beam trolley riding on an I-beam: Beam Trolley. It shouldn't be terribly expensive and if you have access to a cheap stick welder you can pretty easily mount an I-beam up to some brackets and bolt it straight into the frame members of your barn.

If you're going to build a big door with heavy timbers or a steel frame you will want to keep the total weight in mind, as the consumer stuff won't hold up well to a 300lb sliding sail door on the side of your barn.

• My pups' Kong harnesses - they're really heavy-duty and easy to clean when they get muddy. Also, when my baby boy decided to jump out the car window while I was driving (while attached to and hanging from my zipline in the back seat), the harness distributed the weight well enough that my boy came away from it completely unscathed.
  
• Not specifically a dog product, but I use this swivel with carabiners to attach my two dogs' leashes to one end and a "handle" for me (slip lead) on the other end to avoid my pups' leashes getting tangled while on walks! My weirdos like to switch sides a lot while walking, so this has made a huge difference for us. I also use it with my car zipline so they can walk around each other and not make accidental nooses.
  
• This Kurgo water bottle/bag has been AMAZING along with a collapsible travel bowl for walks and busy days at the dog park. It can hold up to 32oz of water, has a pocket/dispenser for poop bags, a zippered, slightly hidden pocket that I use for my keys, and another front pocket that fits my two 4ft leads while we're in the park.
  
• And finally, my saving grace with a super anxious little one - the Animal Essentials Tranquility Blend. I'd tried her ThunderShirt with their spray, playing classical music loudly, white noise machines, melatonin, and a handful of other calming treats, and nothing had worked for car rides - she'd still shake the whole time no matter where we were going. With 0.25mL of this tincture (which smells AWFUL, as a fair warning, but the taste is bearable), she's now calm enough to fall asleep during some car rides, or at least just chill and maybe look out the window.

Depending on the type of metal some neodymium magnets would easily be able to exert enough force to adhere the eye bolts. You would just need to go with some of the larger ones. Just be careful because the attraction power of them can be intense.

748lbs of pull strength means once it's on there you might not be easily removing it though. Although it does meet your criteria haha.

This one is a bit more reasonable https://www.amazon.com/BIGTEDDY-Recovery-Neodymium-Countersunk-Magnetic/dp/B0764G7272/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?keywords=large+neodymium+magnets&qid=1559103987&s=gateway&sprefix=large+neod&sr=8-12

Now if the cladding is aluminum or real stainless then magnets won't do much. But that's an easy thing to test with a magnet off your fridge.

I have a high lift and a couple bottle jacks. And jack stands. I would never use the high lift when I could use a bottle jack. High lifts are great off road, but I'd never use one for automotive work or a flat tire.

You can get a decent 3 ton or larger bottle jack for $15-30 at a farm and ranch store, they'll be the same ones as the auto parts store sells for $40+. Make sure it will fit under the axle when you have a flat tire and lift high enough to put a spare on/work under your van. (Measure your under axle height and subtract the height from ground to wheel to get this) For a full size van it will probably be a 6 or 8 ton to get the correct height. I use this 6 ton one I got for $25 locally for my E250 Class B.

Avoid the habor freight ones, their seals tend to leak. Torin ones at amazon and home depot are the cheapest I'd go.

Got to my computer
Lights,
[Cable,] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YDK49M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Clip,
and Metal loopy thing (prevents cable from rubbing though rubber coating)

Just need eyelets or something to attach it the cable to the posts.

If you have enough ground clearance, you could use a Unijack.

You may need to drive it up on some ramps first to get that 8+" of clearance.

Get him a uni-jack. They are convenient and will make sure he is using his jack stands since it's literally built into the jack.

Doesn't work for low low cars, but anything with 9 inches or so under the vehicle it'll slide in just fine. There's a 6000 lb option as well for bigger stuff

Can I use a bottle jack? It weighs ~4kg more than your mount.

i think something like this to press down on a concave press will give a lot of pressure

Nah, you can literally just screw an eyelet into the wall at the ends of the strip. It's only hard to do many overhead systems in giant cavernous salles with high ceilings, no beams, and lot's of space on either end of the strip. (Rich Club Problems). But, even then you could just do floor bungees.

Once, I made a portable floor-bungee system for use in a gymnasium which used vacuum suction cups (used for moving glass panels) to anchor the end points to the floor. And I duct-taped a piece of plywood with two eyelets in it the floor in the center, on the side of the strip. It worked super well and the entire setup fit into a single toolbox. Obviously, the suction cups wouldn't work well on a textured floor like plywood though.

When I opened the links, it brought me to a page with the referral tag. For example, you posted this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002MD01E8/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
The referral tag doesn't show until the link is opened.
If this was a mistake, you can resubmit the posts correctly, but this does violate the "no referral link" rule.

I know this is crazy late, but something like this could be modified a bit to block out your feet. If you're not too handy, something like this would probably work to keep you from being able to get to the pedals, just probably not the most comfortable when you bang against it

Pull everything out (including shelves).

Order FastCap 3-HLITTLE Little Hand HD 3rd Hand Support System from Amazon to lift back into place.

Drill new pilot holes above/below all existing screws and install new additional screws. Remove jacks and it should be tight against the wall again.

Things to consider:

Chain scale such as a hanging scale with a winch on some variety of track so you can just push it down to each keg. (probably cheapest and easiest)

Flow meters on each line so you know how much has come out.

Load cells under the keg to monitor its weight.

Matlab can be used to record the strain gauge results...

They look like this

I got mine at home depot for 2.50 each. They have a magnet inside the metal so one side is magnetic but the other isn't. I'm gluing one inside a button cover for the shoulder clasps for my cape. The 2 clasps should hold the cape on by themselves actually.

Here's an amazon link

I used standard magnets.. 15 dollars, saved 25 bucks (because you need two or these for a gun/mag)

http://www.amazon.com/CMS-Magnetics%C2%AE-Holding-RB50-Magnets/dp/B000WMQFQE

it's enough for two handguns (if one small, one large) and two magazines.

First of all congrats on getting the Saturn, they are great cars. Have two S-series, they have been the best and are easy to work on. Hopefully the Ion is as good as they are! I hope to get an Ion redline soon.

I got this jack, it works but wasn't high enough to get my car onto jack stands. Not sure if you would be able to get it underneath with a flat tire though, it would be close.

If your planning on doing your own work on the car I can't recommend investing in a proper floor jack. I recently got a 3 ton one at Harbor Freight and the difference is phenomenal. A few pumps and the car is up in the air, it's no longer an big "to do" just to jack the car up and check something. It is heavy so I wouldn't recommend it for a travel jack though. In retrospect I probably would have gotten the smaller aluminum one but now I know I'll be set for a long time.

Probably just get anther scissor jack if it's exclusively for emergency tire changes. If your planning on doing some mechanic work on it in the future a floor jack is worth the investment.
