    Need help. Getting into electronics need special tools .

    Thanks to all that replied I got confused because I focused on the Sig line not the product that I didn't focus on above Since that's in the air right now we are in the hobby stage but I'm more frequently replacing items (if unfamiliar with retro games like tabbed batteries ). Nonetheless the...

    Need help. Getting into electronics need special tools .

    Lately I've been buying more retro games/ counsels . The hand tools that I have are truly not that precise. Any recommendations? Main equipment I'm looking for is good mini plier set circuit board vise and a better soldering iron than I have now . Any other tools you'd recommend would be...

    I bet I can sell harbor freight tools if I had to at least half of what I paid.

    If you only had $400 for tools what would you get?

    Well it all depends. If they have a lot of tool inventory and not a lot being bought a deal can be had (at least with a smart owner). The worst thing a pawn shop owner can have is sitting inventory. Ive been able to buy some wrenches less than $1 a piece even buying a few. While that's still on...

    If you only had $400 for tools what would you get?

    IIRC: last black Friday deal I think it was $300-$350. Even so even $25 off will really make it worth and that's what Im waiting for

    If you only had $400 for tools what would you get?

    While I am one of those new kids the one thing I do know is retail. For myself what I plan on doing is picking up that 432 piece set from Home Depot. Regular retail is $400. Knowing that black Friday is coming up good chance (as they have done in the past) is awesome tool prices. Might be able...

    Suggestions on a serpentine belt tool kit

    Thanks for all the suggestions. After looking over the tool I want to get it was indeed the Lisle one ive been looking at. While the suggestion has been brought about a socket and a breaker bar it would help very little on 2 cars I own Toyota Camry and the problem child Hyundai Santa Fe. In...

    Why become a mechanic?

    Speaking just from the having a job aspect, simply being a wrench turner will allow you to get a job anywhere. Doesn't mean you will be the best paid but at least you can get a job. I work at O'Reilly's and a few of my co-workers are mechanics/ service workers. So of course you may not find a...

    Review: Husky 38-Piece Mechanic tool Set (part #623028 )

    ANd the truest sad thing about it is its becoming less and less of excuse with the amount of information around. Sure 10 let a lone even 5 years ago it wasn't as great. But that's why Im smart to invest in myself than something else I will also say since black Friday is coming up I might see if...

    Review: Husky 38-Piece Mechanic tool Set (part #623028 )

    Exactly $25 is a drop in the bucket. I started working on my cars when I started my job at the auto store. And the biggest complaint ive heard from many people (mainly people off of facebook) is I don't have the tools for it. But make it sound even $25 is a lot of money yet they go out to eat...

    Review: Husky 38-Piece Mechanic tool Set (part #623028 )

    Well my point to the screwdriver was yes it can be useful but when they bill it as a "mechanic" tool set it is the most useless product. Most of the time the length is what killed it. I much rather had a #2 Philips being 6" long than that set and a flat head being the same length. As for the...
