Curved tip would be my go to bar and I have them in sizes from small to damn big. No such thing as having to big a pry bar! I do find a straight tip bar is handy when popping a CV axle out of a trans or doing an alignment where you have to shift the engine cradle. For this I have a pair of pry...

I did own this tool at one time. I was working at a dealership on the lube rack when I gave it a try. While there can be problems getting everything lined up as long as you can rotate the wheel or rock the car a foot or two it will happen. The problem I ran into was the little screw on the end...

I am in for the drawing

I too use a blackjack kit when repairing my own and friends tires. That said the dealership I work at strictly refuses the use of threaded tire patches and only allows either a 1 piece or 2 piece plug patch from the inside of the tire. Reasoning given was that "there have been some successful...

http://m.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/tire-wheel/12-in-drive-super-high-torque-lug-nut-impact-socket-set-11-pc-69829.html I have this set and it comes with inserts inside the socket to protect the lug nut. They are also made of Cro-mo so should last a good bit longer.

The top two blue holders are Magrails produced by VIM. http://www.vimtools.com/store/page30.html

At this point batteries would simply disappear. Your already providing wireless current to the tool, just add a capacitor or two to smooth out any hiccups in the flow. Now you have wirelessly powered tools, cellphones, TVs, cars, blenders, really anything that runs on electricity. Viva La...

As C96 stated the universal application is a 30w Non-Detergent oil. We run this 24/7/365 here in Denver in tooling that sits outside 100% of the time. If you are concerned about going with a lighter oil the only hard and fast rule is that if there is no oil filter use a non detergent oil. You...

As long as nothing looks broken internally the rebuild kit should solve your problem. I would also recommend getting Figure #111, P/N 45-06-0670. Good chance that seal is also leaking and generally that seal will have to be removed to get to the felt seal, though this one looks like it might...

I second Gearwrench. The cases they come with are rather durable and the sockets, to me at least, seem to be the exact same thing as Matco's Taiwan made sockets.

I had my hands on the Mac 20v 1/2" drive and 12v 3/8" drive impacts yesterday. My Mac dealer had no issue saying right from the start that they are made for Mac by DeWalt and that the batteries are interchangeable. Considering if you look closely on the tool and the battery they both say DeWalt...

I don't know why it came up with a security warning as on my computer it takes me to the distributor log in page. After a quick google search, I don't think this product would be available for most from the manufacturer but, any industrial or plumbing supply house that does custom gasket...

I have been using scrap pieces of this gasket material with the "cloth" finish to line my HF5 cart drawers. http://www.garlock.com/en/product/8314-premium-epdm#prettyPhoto The cloth finish holds tools in place like glue!

This. Make a base wrench rack that covers the middle range and then have add-on modules that goes together with a solid connection, something like a dovetail with roll pin. One module to cover additional smaller sizes and then 2-3 for additional larger sizes should cover all of the set sizes...

I have changed out a... few... of these switches. Best thing to use is a paper clip. Unfold one side of it and make a mini T handle tool. Next to where the wire enters the switch body will be a small round or square hole. This hole is where you want to stick the paper clip in and wiggle it...
