http://www.bondhus.com/bondhus_products/tool_categories/socket_bits/star.html A couple of sets are on ebay as well

thanks! Definitely getting the t-handle still wondering if anyone had any experience with their sockets

Looking into getting a set of torx/star bit sockets. Have a set of lisle torx bit sockets, but not happy with them, and a few are missing. My question. How does this "protanium" that bonhus use compare to other companies, such as craftmans and maybe snap on and matco, would be looking for a...

I need a feeler gauge that has values between .1mm and .2mm All of the metric ones I am seeing on industrial supply sites have .1 .15 and .2, anything out there that has increments of less than .05mm? Something with measurements smaller than .1mm would be great as well. Second question, any...

the two i use most often 1/2 inch gedore 20-200nm a 1/4 inch pedros pro torue wrench 572041 and a couple of old snap on and matco ones the pedros is brand new, was a couple of months ago, always kept in case, at lowest setting, never dripped the gedore i got new a year ago, but stopped by a...

I have had the same problem. Called snap on and other big tool companies directly, they say that unless it is a shop, the trucks are not allowed to sell to individual customers, and they refuse to give me the trucks number, or have them get in touch with me. Surprisingly, all the local shops...

that does not look like too tiny of a 1 garage great build, and organization! post a thread for the truck build, unless its already here and I missed it

thanks for the advice! I would have done that, but dont know how to weld, or own a drill press. Could there be something I am doing wrong that I am constantly stripping bolts? I use mostly new bolts form mcmaster, and they all have a bit of oil on them, am i supposed to be using anti seize...

Question is regarding an audi aluminum block. Bolt hole in question needs to be torqued to 35nm. It holders one of the pulleys attached to the timing belt tensioner. It is the hole for the dark bolt on the top left of the pulley with the red rubber in the middle of the picture. THE PROBLEM...

Out of curiosity, why? I trust you know what you are talking about, but on my audi, every bolt that requires lots of torque, and holds anything important, like the fly wheel, or oil pump gear get a m10 bolt with fine threads to the op, if you end up using an insert, use a solid one. I have...

Tap magic protap and the aluminum kind, purchased it from the local mcmaster, same place i got the taps is there a brand you could recommend? i dont use grease on the actual cutting part, only on the bi 4 flat grooves, what are those called? Reason for this, is to try to pick up all the tiny...

I think this belongs in this thread How do you guys clean your taps? Recently redid all 30 holes holding the upper oil pan in an aluminum block Used tapping fluid in the holes themselves, and put grease onto the tap, to collect the pics of metal. A q-tip down the 4 grooves takes everything...

The drill in the kit is .406 inches. ACTUALLY you might want to drill slightly smaller 3/8 .375 inches this way you don't accidentally oversize the hole more. Then you could clean it up with the .406 drill included in the kit. Again I am concerned the hole is not...

only problem is that the original threads are not flush with the outside of the block sent time sert an email and they said to use the drill bit that came with the kit and start over
