Hey! My sister is getting married in June, and is setting up a wedding registry. She is asking me for my advice on drills: every homemaker needs one! Preferably cordless, which I understand, if only because of the magnetic stop! Now, I love this set of mine, and I have too many uses for an...

isn't there a risk of an older jack requiring a pricey re-sealing, if old seals are rotted and leaking? I bought the 2 ton aluminum harbor freight "racing" jack. It works, it never gave out on me, but it's awfully flimsy. For a heavy van, definitely jump to 3 ton. It's MUCH heavier duty...

"4. electric fan wire connection probs - if the fan is electric" ....not crazy. did my radiator on my 1989 vehicle last November, and the connections wouldn't come undone! The harness was fused to the fan temp switch, and in trying to get it off, just snapped the copper pin off from the...

Not the end of the world, but... I listed some tools here in classifieds, and on ebay, at around the same time. Got a PM here first saying they definitely wanted the tools, so I went ahead and ended the ebay auction. There had been no bids, no fuss, no problem. Even got an email saying...

sold.

These mostly came from a set of tools I purchased from a coworker's father; these are 52 assorted pieces that do not form quite-complete sets, and I am selling them all as a lot. Some of them look rather old, and the chrome is worn on many of them. 4 of them are broken and may need to be...

I returned 2 things to rockauto the other month; a cv axle that was right in every way, except, that it was 1/2" too long. It took 2 minutes of head scratching before we figured out the only possible thing that could be wrong, ordered another from napa, compared, and indeed the rockauto one was...

I remember someone at harbor freight ahead of me in line, finagling a $1 return. Yes, a $1 return. It costs me $3 in gas to get to harbor freight and back! And when I worked at sears, one lucky fellow got a lawn tractor for 50% off last month in January (store was closing, hence the sale--...

Very thorough set of 1/2" drive impact sockets assembled from 5 manufacturers. Most all have warranties through the manufacturer, all except 3 are made in the USofA, and many of these sockets have never been used. All are in great shape. Hanson socket tray not included. Retails for over...

used but complete and in good shape RPT101 radiator pressure test set from matco. Have used recently; fittings and pump maintain pressure fine. Paperwork/directions are in the slot in the lid. Also including 3 adapters I had to buy for various cars. They're shown lined up on the back of the...

Fluke 87 multimeter. Tested and all functions work; fuse inside for ammeter is good comes with 7 extra ktk-10 buss limitron fuses: these cost $5 apiece! we all try to be careful, but sometimes the extra fuses are needed. Asking $110 shipped for multimeter and extra fuses. Will come in priority...

Hey! I'm going back to college, and selling my tools from being a mechanic. I've sold on this site before-- so I can find some references for you if trust is a factor. Last time I sold tools was this summer during a move, so the worst that can be said was that I was slow to ship some things...

Ingersoll-Rand 2135 titanium impact wrench, asking $90 shipped. Bought 3 years ago, oiled... OK, every 3rd day if I'm honest, not every day, but quite regularly. No air leaks, no excessive looseness in the end, still has all the power it ever had new. Snapon torx socket set, retails for...

Cornwell 12 point 1/2" drive impact sockets, set STI3114MS, missing the 12mm (I will include if I find it, however). I always used the 13mm for driveshaft bolts on my old fords-- they're 12pt and impacts were very useful. Specialty application though; best on 12pt bolts. None cracked. Asking...
