    rebuilding an IM31 snap on

    Had one of those for many years, good gun and never any issues. It has been relegated to back up duty in favor of an IR but I`ll never get rid of it.

    macsimizer toolbox

    Loosening torque? Nitrocat 1200k vs 2135TiMAX

    I use a 2135ti every day...because my broken down worn out wrists wont let me use anything heavier. More than enough ooomph to loosen stuff, and it`s going on over 3 years of very poorly maintained use (I think i have oiled it 3 or 4 times), that said we have VERY dry air so that might have...

    10 point socket for a Mitsubishi

    That clutch is only available as an assembly from Mitsu. It is a Sach`s unit that comes pre-assembled (flywheel/disc/cover) and it attaches to the crank very much like an auto trans torque converter. In other words, it was not meant to be taken apart. Now as far as the aftermarket, I have no...

    Another vehicle falls of a lift

    X2, you should see some of the "dealer techs" I have worked with over the years. Just cause it`s a dealer doesnt mean they don`t have a ham fisted gorrila working there. Case in point, I work with a fella now who`s idea of setting up a car is: 1-drive vehicle over lift 2-get out of car and kick...

    how to rid garage of bugs and spiders?

    As long as the garage is NOT attached to the house, just fire up a car (the older `n` smellier the exhaust the better) close the door and let it run for a few hours, the carbon monoxide will kill anything in there.
