ATD are the best I have used.

Only the fuel one here. I use that thing every day. It is my go to for just about everything under the hood. You will have to break loose brake parts though.

I think the best complete dbe set out there is the Cornwell set.

Also marketed as Bridgeport lathes might check them also they usually have pretty good documentation.

We had one for a while the driver has been a tool guy from most of the other truck brands. He is a known scumbag ******* and that is why he has been run off from most shops as a snap on, Matco, and Cornwell driver. I don't think anyone from my shop will buy from him, I also don't believe he will...

I used one when I worked for Goodyear. I had 1 5ah battery and charged it maybe once every 3 days. That was using it for everything from tire rotations to driveline and suspension work including pushing balljoints and u joints.

Foredom for the win.

I always use a regular incandescent bulb test light. Hook the ground clamp to a ground and then pull the plug wire off the plug while holding the tip of the test light into the boot.

I didn't see your question before, but here you go. I gave 3 K for it, but it came with 3 quick change tool posts a bunch of tool holders and a pile of other tooling.

The extended anvil is definitely a hindrance. I wouldn't use one if I had a choice. Secondly the 2135 is the industry standard and it for a reason. Light weight, plenty of power, pretty compact, and utterly reliable. That was the first tool I bought from a tool truck over 10 years ago, the only...

Those snappy sets were 500 each on my dealers truck. In eastern KS so low cost of living here.

I got lucky and after months of looking I found this lathe basically in my backyard for super cheap. it was basically brand new and had only been used to clean up crank journals before I got it. The leadscrew had literally never been used. I cleaned the dust off and gave it an oil change and I...
