    Odd pair of vise grips

    Crimping was my first thought, I'd never though of it being a heat sink. This may just remain one of those mysteries.

    Odd pair of vise grips

    My uncle was at a classic motorcycle convention recently where they also sold used and new tools. He picked up the vise grip below without really knowing what it's for, but just that it looked cool. Does anyone know what this would be used for? The seller swore it was factory Gedore made...

    US made tools and US manufacturing jobs

    Oh definitely, Providing tools that do the job at a price people like is atrocious. Piss on them! Harbor freight works because it fills a market gap, it's for the people who don't care where the tools come from as long as they work. Moreover, Who works at harborfreight? Who works at the...

    Kraftwerk Tools from Switzerland

    If I were spending 1400 euro on tools in a single purchase, I think I would look at Stahlwille/gedore/hazet. With that budget it really is within reach. I'm flipping through my copy of Stahwille's deals, and for around the same money you can have a very similar set, but of stahlwille quality...

    Tools from the old world

    I kinda went back and forth about ordering a Felo sample because I'm happy with my Wera collection, and knew I didn't want to swap over. Last sunday I caved, because a free screwdriver is still a free screwdriver. I promised myself to give it a fair shot, because technically I'm getting a...

    Kobalt 72 tooth 3/8 drive ratchet

    I have it in standard size, and long flex and love both. My only nitpick is that the springs for the reverse lever are soft out of the box. You can flip it a bit too easily, so I upgraded them with stiffer ones from he battery springs from an old tv remote( AA batteries). After that upgrade, I...

    The start of my 30x48

    That really does look amazing. Do you have any pics of the attic? Did you buy a pre-made stairs, or did you make it yourself? It looks really slick. Also, that white RAM looks superb! Is it a Sport with a Hemi? Love the wagoneer, too. What powertrain is in there? and just out of curiosity, I...

    1/2" ratchet suggestions?

    Another vote for the Kobalt 72 tooth, I haven't compared them with snap on or matco 1/2'' ratchets. But I've jumped on the long kobalt flex head, and it didn't break. Also, your wife in your avatar seems to be losing clothing at a rate of about 1 article every few months. Just letting you know...

    Post your favorite picture of your own garage...

    I can't properly explain why, but I really love your garage. It looks like you could fabricate anything you want there, but it still looks so cosy... You could live there, wrench there, and talk the days away..you know what I mean? It's exactly how I imagine having a garage later in live. So...

On the first picture you see the intake manifold with 8 inlets on top, correct? But then on the second picture you see the carb mounted on the front, with the butterfly valve...

    I'm looking forward to seeing the garage transform. I'm a fellow XJ lover, and Ninja lover, and I frequent purdue because my girlfriend attends there..sooo, boiler up? Do you go around campus on the 250R? I might've seen it parked near Shreve.
