thank you for letting me know that headlight bulbs are larger than the one in my test light in all my years I had not noticed this even once:bowdown:and yes I understand ohms law. of course a test light is not the be all end all of tools for testing electrical but is usefull for many quick...

the DC test light is almost a short to ground with just the light bulb being the load. hmmm i guess the headlights in your car or starter are also just a short to ground with a load test probe light does nothing for checking a ground circuit what happens when you hook the alligator clip on...

used it once and found it was a hassle it sits in the can behind the shop collecting dust

an impact socket will have a hole in the base for a pin retainer and a crome or industrial finish will not

great looking machine! I have used that type of machine in the past they work great I would love to find one like that to fix up :thumbup:

hi there I have been looking at those gray pro serries tool boxes for a while how do you like it? does it seem like a box that could hold heavy items like wrenches up to 2'' and 3/4 and 1'' drive sockets any help would be great thanks in advance

if the shop you work in does not have an avr machine then yes they are useful they make for a good quick test I use the starter current draw gauge more than the altronator one

sorry to hijack the htread but does anyone have any experince with the gray pro series tool boxes and I have been looking into a new box for a while and like the looks of them

gray are excellent tools I think they are best compaired to proto although I like gray better :bounce:

I find they are stronger than breaker bars when using a pipe my 3/4'' and 1'' get used every once in a while when something is really ugly

if you must get some extra hieght use blocks under the jack stand and remember blocks should always be ''cribbed'' like a log cabin if going more than one block high I have used wood blocks for years on trucks and equiptment up to 100 tons

mr holeshot you are correct. I dont know how to explain it properly but the flex in the shaft seems to help with ''break away torque'' the same way a ''flex bar'' aka a breaker bar helps you remove stuck bolts when you lean on a breaker bar it will flex a small amount sort of like winding up...

you **** the 1 1/8 is worth more than that on its own

how about ultra pro?
