    Ignition probes for scope use?

    I own the Wyzeprobe (middle) and the AES Paddle Probe (right), they work pretty well but I recently purchased a ATS ECOP that is pretty handy and find myself using it more often. http://www.automotivetestsolutions.com/ecop.htm AESWave.com also carries the ECOP.

    Who makes snap on truck drawers? pics included

    I think LDV does (http://www.ldvusa.com), the same company who outfits the tool trucks. They used to have several different pictures of the storage/organization options for their trucks.

    My IR 175 psi compressor needs to dial down to meet air filter--can I do that?

    Why do you need 175psi? At automotive shop I work at, they regulate the lines to 115 psi and have several other regulators down the lines for sensitive equipment that require less (e.g. 90psi for some of the lifts).

    Launch scan tool any techs got one

    I've used the one we have at work (we also have a Snap-on Solus Pro and a OTC Genisys) and I've found it has somewhat better support on certain imports but it is so damn slow to use. Lately I've just been reaching for the Solus and I think they managed to return the Genisys, cause it was...

    Tool Box Drawer Lube

    I tried a few different types of lubricants (spray white lithium, thick white lithium, spray graphite) before I settled on using wheel bearing grease for the friction slides on my older SO box. I found the wheel bearing grease allowed the drawers to slide the easiest, especially once there was...

    can i still get drawer slides from SNAP-ON?

    I've ordered a few sets of friction and BB slides for my KR650/KR655 recently (made in '88). Some of the part numbers have changed, compared to what was marked on the original part, but no real issues for me.

    Tools for testing head gaskets?

    Also going back to the brown-colored coolant... I've seen coolant discolored by rust. On fairly old Honda Civic that was overheating, when I drained the coolant it was brown as well (made me think the head gasket failed too but compression was ok). For whatever reason, I eventually pulled off...

    Tool Box Liner (in Canada)

    Hmm, no I was looking at this: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/6/Tools/ToolStorage/ToolChestAccessories/PRD~0580945P/Mastercraft+Tool+Chest+Drawer+Liner.jsp?locale=en I also dislike this material cause its perforated, wanted more of a rubber mat. I will check elsewhere in the store then...

    Tool Box Liner (in Canada)

    That's a great idea, I will look into that. Thanks. My only issue with the stuff CTC sells is its price. I would need to buy at least 4 (maybe 5 cause of waste) rolls to line all the drawers. At $21 a roll thats somewhat unreasonable, at least for me. mrgm/dankicksass: I will check my local...

    Tool Box Liner (in Canada)

    I have been searching for a decent toolbox liner material for a Snapon KR655/KR650 I recently purchased. I have mostly finished cleaning/restoring/repairing it and just need to replace the existing liners, that appear to be some useless foam. After being unsatisfied with the materials/price of...

    HF 2hp 29gal 150psi compressor, thoughts?

    Depends on the impact gun. For example, an IR 2135TiMAX (1/2") consumes up to 24CFM under load (i.e. breaking a bolt loose) and otherwise it normally consumes 5CFM (i.e. spinning a bolt off/on or maybe just pressing the trigger while holding the gun in the air?). Edit: Also worth noting, the...
