    Shop Rules

    Help me clean up. Bout it. Wipe the tools off or wrap up cords and hoses and shut doors, and we're good. I just don't want to be cleaning everything up alone at 1am after working all day. Drink my gatorade or beer, help yourself to the snacks, smoke where you want. Between burnt rubber, burnt...

    What projects are you stuck in the middle of?

    What projects am I stuck on? Hey Ryan what's the character limit for posts? LOL eight trucks, but especially my secret service truck I'm building (no info, my friends lurk here) and my daily turned high performance build. Blew the engine up and bought a beater so I'm gonna build it for some...

    Help! I’m looking for an (apparently) rare SO Torque Wrench!

    This is my coworker’s torque wrench. It’s a snap on QJR-217, but I’ve yet to see another in my searches that has a 5-200 range; I really would like to get my hands on my own because the gearwrench I have doesn’t have the range I need. It says series B and has a blue handle, but I can’t find...

    "Dumb question. Whats so special about harbor freight?"

    Harbor Freight is Walmart for tools. They don’t specialize, some good, some bad, all inexpensive, but they have what you need when you need it usually and they have almost any and everything.

    Ever do something so stupid you wonder if you should be left unsupervised?

    I'm notorious for getting covered in whatever I'm working in. Dirt, oil, fuel, whatever. Anyways, I had a quick oil/ air/ fuel service to do on my dad's truck the other week and was very careful to stay clean doing the air, the oil filter, and changing the oil. I then proceeded to dump the fuel...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    What’s the torque range on that qjr217? Another guy has a wrench that says “qjr2117” and “series b” (in different places) on the ratchet and it goes 5 to 200. I’m really envying it because it covers the range I need for doing injector work better than my gearwrench does. I’m trying to track...

    Tools for budding mechanics

    When he's in school to get certified he's gonna get huge discounts at the "tool truck" companies. Mac, Matco, Snap on, Cornewell, etc. These are considered some of the best tools. Before that, there are options to get him nice stuff. Personally, I really like the craftsman kits that come in a...

    Stubby’s Cousin? I suppose but maybe it should just be called THE Hammer.

    That seems like a very handy AIO hammer. I rarely need a ball end, but being able to have a metal cap and a soft side on one hammer right within reach is a great idea. Especially as a station, truck, or toolbox hammer. Leave it at your tire machine, machine station, in the truck/trailer, etc. I...

    Trusty-Cook, Stubby's Cousin

    Summit. Any matco truck. And a ton others. They’re trusty cook, which sells under the trusty cook name and various other brands which I’m assuming he can’t name in a public forum. I’ve never seen a trusty cook in a store but then again i’ve really only ever been in a home depot and a harbor...
