Thanks all, looks like I may be buying a jack and some new stands this weekend! Might have to take a ride to NH for a tax free purchase, although the gas will probably eat the savings lmao. glad I asked the collective!

https://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-low-profile-superduty-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-metallic-red-73106.html?event_id=184614 Is $40 off the best they offer these days, or best to keep waiting? Some of the comments talk about $100 off coupons not too long ago in 2025. I don't need this...

If you're set on the snap on version and not a similar equivalent, why not buy once, cry once? Start saving up if necessary, and reward yourself with a nice new tool that you will take care of and keep in better shape than it sounds like you are seeing for sale second hand. A dealer may also...

What is your target budget? That may narrow down suggestions and your options.

You got a steal from the sounds of things, I wish I'd seen this. Same thing is $100 more right now. Thanks for the reply. I dont understand the whole response but am also not a Milwaukee aficionado by any means so am not well versed on the nuances between versions. My last hand electric 18v...

It never ceases to amaze me what folks on GJ do in regular garages, not professional shops, all over the world. Love this spirit, it drives me to continue on, especially on those days my spirit and will are tested by my formal knowledge or skills/training. Keep up the great work, and I look...

I'd love to get that kit for $150. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for a fuel ratchet deal. Didn't even realize the other 2 pieces in that bundle were fuel and the ratchet was not. Not even sure my homeowner use needs would justify the difference but food for thought I suppose. Thanks for...

Determined by pulling all spark plugs that cylinder 1 is leaking around the spark plug tube seal into the tube. I replaced this valve cover only approximately 4k miles ago because cylinder 5 was having this issue. It will be easier to do the job in July than it was in January, however I am not...

looks fantastic. I need to rearrange my main box and side boxes. Stuff not consolidated well enough or methodically laid out as well as it could be. When I move next I will do it, once I finally have a place they will reside more permanently that is my own.(renting now) keep up the energy...

Started outside the garage but finished inside. My vehicles starter died parked in my mom's driveway, about a 40 degree incline. I braced everything, multiple jack stands, the jack and the wheel underneath as a backup just in case. Chocked all 3 wheels that remained on the ground, and used a...

I've got Costco and Bj's memberships. No Sam's Clubs near me. Bj's seems to provide bulk, but a little smaller than Costco. This is helpful on some things as I just dont have the space in/at my current living conditions for super bulk packs of some things. Once I have more fridge and freezer...

Very interesting find, thanks for sharing it here. Never seen anything like it in the wild but didn't know what to look for either.

Great snag on everything there! Congrats and glad the timing worked out for you so favorably.
