    Anybody working with R1234yf freon?

    Convert R12 gauges to this new ****. Thats what I did. Plenty of adapters on the net to do this.

    M12 Screwdriver Usefulness?

    Not sure which M12 model I have, It's 10 yrs old and gets used every single day in a dealership service department. Great for interior work, and just about anything held together with small screws or bolts. Smaller than a drill, but not as powerful as an impact.

    Why pipe plug sockets instead of just extensions?

    The sockets also have a slight taper to them. They will go in and bottom out. Less chance of rounding out the square hole, on the really tight/seized ones.

    DeadBlows: Which Style For Brake Work?

    I have a Snap On soft blow. Works great for "tapping off" stuck wheels and rotors. I do enjoy winding up like Tiger Woods and letting it rip on stuck alloy rims. https://store.snapon.com/Soft-Grip-Dead-Blow-56-Ounce-Soft-Grip-Hammer-P886465.aspx

    butterfly impact wrench?

    Just got a CP (Chicago Pneumatic) butterfly impact for $10

    $10.00 dollars??? I have one from the mid 70's, worn but still works. Been sitting idle in the tool box for at least 15 years. Cordless 3/8 impacts have replaced it. Guess I should put it up on e-bay. I was thinking of scrapping it.

    Brake fluid

    Here at the GM dealer, fluid flushing is not recommended by the manufacture unless contaminated. Funny thing is after 3 yrs it turns a funky color and it has an odor to it. We try to sell a flush while doing a regular pad replacement if it's more than 50k or 3 yrs. I do my own Honda every 2...

    My sister has a 4 yr old Sears mixer, with a burned electrical board. Looking up the sears number I can only find this... https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/1008900890a/0583/0212320.html Further searching, this model # is not in the sears data base as far as what company made it...
